Chicago rapper Mick Jenkins drops into 1Xtra to talk about his latest release Wave[s] and gets deep in conversation with DJ Semtex.

He talks about how his music is a reaction to events back home in the United States, the successes and limitations of Obama's time in office and whether American society is too focused on events far from home rather than their own doorsteps.

Also on the table is London architecture, UK crowds and his latest books of choice. "We don't read like we should!"
