Mick Jenkins - type sh*t (Project)

Mick Jenkins has always been an artist who moves with intention, and his latest release, type sh*t, serves as both a celebration of his journey and a bold declaration of independence. The Chicago-bred rapper, known for his poetic lyricism and resonant themes of self-awareness and growth, released the project exclusively via the EVEN platform.

In a statement accompanying the release, Jenkins called type sh*t  his “it is what it is” moment, signaling a shift into a new phase of his career. “As I enter this next phase of my journey in music, the focus is true independence. EVEN helps me accomplish that goal like no other platform,” he shared. Jenkins also called on his core fans to join him for the ride, teasing a packed year of music, content, events, and shows delivered through EVEN.

This release is particularly special because it nods to the “type beat” culture of YouTube—a cornerstone in the careers of countless independent artists. Jenkins revealed that all the instrumentals on the project are sourced from “Mick Jenkins type beats” he discovered online, paying homage to a space that helped him find his footing as a rapper. “It really comes full circle,” he said, reflecting on his journey from those early days of exploration to now preparing for independence in the business side of rap.

Known for standout projects like The Healing Component and Pieces of a Man, Mick Jenkins has built a reputation for delivering projects that challenge listeners to think deeper. He’s also a sought-after collaborator, appearing on tracks with artists like Chance the Rapper, Kaytranada, effortlessly blending styles while staying true to his own voice.

With type sh*t, Jenkins not only honors his past but sets the stage for a future that’s fully in his control. “Thank you for your continued support. And as usual; spread love, drink more water,” he concluded in his note to fans, encapsulating the thoughtful, community-driven ethos that has always defined his artistry.
