Mick Jenkins Lazarus

Mick Jenkins, a representative from Chicago's more conscious-minded sect, has announced his signing to Cinematic Music Group.

"Jonny Shipes is the only person that approached me offering to work for free," he tells XXL exclusively. After growing and working together, as well as exploring other options, I'm happy to make the decision to partner with Cinematic Music Group. I'm making movies anyway."

To celebrate the announcement, Jenkins dropped another peek at his upcoming work. He has cited more soulful influences like Sade and Jill Scott when he spoke to us for The Break. "Lazarus" sounds like it tries to be just as spiritual; Jenkins sounds focused and emotive over Chuck Strangers' production. The real talk moments come mellifluously in this hookless cut. "Hold your head boy they preaching your thoughts/ Have your soul for a fuckin' Jesus Piece and a Porsche."
