Mick Jenkins drops the video for his new single "P's and Q's." The new song is off of his upcoming project titled Wave[s], the follow-up to his stellar 2014 project The Water[s]. In the video for "P's and Q's," which is produced by Kaytranada and the video directed by Nathan Smith, Jenkins walks through chaos in a parking lot. As he walks forward, his surrounding is rewinding, showing people setting stuff on fire, vandalizing cars and squirting each other with water guns. It ends with the Chicago native drinking a bottle of water, playing off his slogan "drink more water." Visually the video is stunning and the new track shows off Jenkins' rapping skills. He mainly only uses words that begin with "p" and "q" hence the title, which also serves as a reminder to to pay attention to detail.

Director Nathan Smith explained the concept behind the video with NPR. You can read that below:

For the "P's & Q's" video, we wanted to shoot something with a constant flow of motion to complement Mick's unending verse. I created the idea of Mick walking through a scene of complete chaos, yet being unaffected by everything. To create that effect, I had Mick walk backwards from left to right through the entire scene as people pelted him with various items. That way, once we reversed the footage, Mick would look like the only person moving forward and everything would lift off of his body, leaving the chaos behind. Everything in the shot — the fire, water, even the train — was in-camera. We did no VFX whatsoever, and the actual shot only took 15 seconds to film at 240 frames per second, or 10 times slower than real-time. At the end of the video, the water bottle that floats into Mick's hand symbolizes that his words and lyrics hold the truth amongst all the other nonsense people are exposed to.

Mick Jenkin's Wave[s] will be released later this summer. The first single he released from the project was "Alchemy," which he dropped last month.
