Chicago rapper Mick Jenkins heads to Jamaica in the latest video from his 2018 album, Pieces Of A Man, searching for some “Consensual Seduction.” He finds it in the form of a Jamaican beauty at a coconut stand across the way from his card game with his gracious hosts as he enjoys a bottle of Red Stripe and a joint, trading knowing glances while trying to play it cool. The video is directed by Mahaneela, a photographer and filmmaker who has worked with Nike, FKA Twigs, Sampha, and The Xx. It was shot on-location in Portland, Jamaica, and while the video doesn’t feature the song’s guest star, Corinne Bailey Rae, her presence is still powerfully felt in a montage of gorgeously shot nature imagery toward the end.
Despite being only a few months removed from the release of his latest album, Mick has kept his presence characteristically low-key, offering a few videos from the project, including the humorous “Reginald” and “Consensual Seduction,” and stuck to the tour circuit. He recently completed a North American tour with opener Kari Faux and is now preparing to take on a slate of European dates ranging from Denmark to Glasgow, UK, including stops in Germany, The Netherlands, and Paris, France along the way.
