Mick Jenkins is officially back.

After letting his debut album, The Healing Component, rock for a year, the Chicago native returned with “A Layover” in August, before following up with “Vampire In Brooklyn” earlier this month. And now, with another handful of songs, he’s released a new EP called or more; the anxious.

“‘or more’ is a project series involving musical ideas and concepts that are currently inspiring the album’s creation process,” says Mick. “As creatives we live in a world of time constraints imposed by illusive industry standards, anxious demands of appreciators, or even our own self reflections. ‘or more’ is a smaller context of this larger pool of thoughts.. a world of exploration removed from the confines of a particular method. It’s my way of sharing the beauty in indecisiveness. Sometimes we have to make music to locate the true music within our being. The first hones in on the ANXIOUS.”

Locked in at seven tracks, or more includes features from Saba and Michael Anthony, and production from THEMpeople, Origami Beats, ENG Creation, GreenSLLIME, and Ahwlee.
