Mick Jenkins has been done with his first full-length album for a while now. Way back in April he confirmed the completion in an Instagram post before dropping brilliant singles in “The Artful Dodger” and “Sunkissed.”
Today, he’s finally confirmed details of the record. He seems to have dropped his favored brackets for this release, calling it The Healing Component rather than [T]he [H]ealing [C]omponent. It’s out September 23 on Free Nation.

He’s dropped a single to coincide with the announcement, too. “Spread Love” is another soulful flow from Jenkins, with production from Seattle-born rising star Sango.
To cap it off, Jenkins will go on tour in support of the album, starting in late September. He’ll be touring with young St Louis MC Smino on the “A Quest for Love Tour” and you can see all the dates below.
