Mick Jenkins Debuts New "Carefree" Music Video for Upcoming 'The Circus' Project (UPDATE)
The project is produced by Black Milk, Hit-Boy, IAMNOBODI, and more.
UPDATE (January 7, 2020): Mick Jenkins returns with a sunset-flooded visual for “Carefree,” the first single off of his upcoming project The Circus which drops this Friday, January 10. The Chicago emcee has continued to pave his own lane on his own terms, and the Jack Begert-directed short is no exception. Spinning shots of Mick stretched out over sand on an anonymous beach, freeze frames of the scenery and people around him and intimate campfires with friends create the signature thoughtful introspection that has been championed by Mick throughout his career. Things aren’t all good once the sun sets though, as Mick reminds his viewers of the danger that comes with police involvement through what should be a routine traffic stop. Watch the video above and stay tuned for The Circus coming Friday.
