2. Mick Jenkins – ‘Rain’
Rising Chicago rapper meets rising Canadian producer.
Another slow-burner. Originally released over a month ago, this track with production by the effervescent Kayatranada samples the Ann Peebles’ ‘I Can’t Stand The Rain’. Chicago rapper Jenkins has been on the up since his The Water(s) mixtape earlier this year, ‘Rain’ is a standout released after that mixtape.
