    Last year's mixtape by Jenkins was great. I expected a lot, but I'm disappointed. Wave(s) by Jenkins is poor for me but I still count on this man. 6/10

    The neo-soul influenced beats Jenkins raps and sings over often sounding submerged in a fog of reverb effects and filtration. Jenkins lyrics, too, are dense, containing their own murky depths, but his intense intelligence and formidable talent is never less than crystal clear. [Oct 2015, p.63]

    Although it doesn’t pan out on every track, the cohesive work allows the listener to feel that they’ve plunged into the depths of Mick’s mind and come out with a soaked sense of clarity.

    On Wave[s], Mick Jenkins, whether consciously or otherwise, created a polished body of work with radio-ready potential.
