The Patience is a tight 30-minute package that shows the best of the now patented Mick Jenkins formula - hardcore jazzy conscious boom bap -, now I just need him to (slightly!!) expand his horizons to match his impeccable technique better.

A man bearing the weight of his stresses, the most preoccupying of which are self-inflicted. Recc: 'Show & Tell', 'Guapanese'

Mick's newest is two things at once: an album he always showed promise of making, and an apparent resignation on the attempts to make such an album. With its relative brevity and an almost non-existent framing concept, 'The Patience' finds Mick abandoning his overly ambitious ideas for a simpler streamlined experience, while also delivering his rawest, bluntest material to date, give or take a few lyrical missteps.

Finally, Mick Jenkins makes an excellent rap record. The Chicago-based rapper released his fourth album which sees him continue down this conscious boom bap style of music he started to play around with in his 2021 album. ?The Patience? sees a tight track list with hypnotic beats, and well-performed rapping. Plus, there are a lot of witty bars from Jayson, which we really have not seen before. The biggest drawback is that by the end of the album, I kind of wish there was more to some of the tracks. Many of these tracks suffer from what a lot of abstract hip hop has, overly simplistic and short tracks that don?t have a lot of substance to them. Still ?The Patience? feels like a Jayson project he has wanted to fully make and I am really glad to see it is finally here. Hopefully, he is able to continue driving this sound forward through his career.
