Chicago rapper Mick Jenkins has released top-notch album Elephant in the Room, whose title speaks for itself. Mick Jenkins has a particular art for speaking about topics surrounding black experience and identity that can often be brushed under the rug. Album track 'Rugburn (feat. serpentwithfeet)' sees the rapper team up with Brooklyn-based vocalist for an intimate track. With the absence of drums, the song is light and airy; tremolo guitar floats like wispy clouds and bass runs on a loop. Mick Jenkins raps about his experiences, this particular line is so tangible and somber, 'Seen mamas need the whole wheat, seen butter melt on the biscuit as fathers head for the door'. Check out 'Rugburn (feat. serpentwithfeet)' and the rest of Elephant in the Room. -Ellie Rose-Davies
