    Un pequeño EP que, después de "Pieces Of A Man" en el 2018, demuestra a Mick Jenkins como trabajador constante que cuida mucho propia musica, le encanta rapear de su propia fe y filosofía en una tranquila colección de canciones cuya fuerza está en sus letras. Buena producción por parte Da-P, Black Milk, Coop The Truth, IAMNOBODI, Beat Butcha, Chirashe, Dj Fu, entre otros.    ( 80/100 )

    A little Ep that, after "Pieces Of A Man" from 2018, shows Mick Jenkins as a hard worker who takes care of his music, loves to rap about his own faith and philosophy in an easy collection of songs where the strength is in the lyrics. Good production from Da-P, Black Milk, Coop The Truth, IAMNOBODI, Beat Butcha, Chirashe, Dj Fu, and some others.    … Expand

    Mick Jenkins delivers an EP that sounds amazing, with one track after the other. Each song gets better and better and makes fans want an album.

    The Circus is measured, soothing, and a suitable accompaniment to brandy and a cigar in a comfortable chair.

    After the huge success of his second critically-acclaimed album like ‘Pieces Of A Man’, this small EP steps into the big boots it needs to fill before Mick Jenkins’ next outing. ... Delightfully dainty.

    Preaching the same elements on 'Different Scales', this EP shows us what is to come on Jenkins' forthcoming album. If 'The Circus' is just a prelude, then old and new fans alike are up for a special treat.
