Early life and education

Jenkins was born in Huntsville, Alabama. Following his parents' divorce, he and his mother and sister moved to Chicago, Illinois, when he was nine years old. Jenkins was heavily influenced by his parents' musical tastes as a child. His mother listened to Neo-soul, while his father adored modern black gospel music. Jenkins was just 17 years old when he began attending Young Chicago Authors' open-mic activities, which attracts young writers. Mick Jenkins began participating in mock trials for the school's law academy in 2008. Following this opportunity, he went on to become a courthouse intern at Chicago's Dirksen Federal Building. Jenkins stopped his law schooling in 2009 after he became an apprentice at Sir & Madame, a clothing chain, and briefly became a young fashion mogul. He returned to Huntsville later this year to attend Oakwood University and later served 34 days for a misdemeanour conviction. Oakwood is a private college that is affiliated with the Seventh Day Adventist Church. Jenkins participated in a rap competition in sophomore year at the university, where the prize was a pair of Beats By Dre headphones. Jenkins did not win the competition, but it did lead to him discovering a passion for making music. Jenkins ultimately dropped out of Oakwood after his father lost his career at the school, which meant tuition was no longer affordable. Jenkins claims to have dropped five mixtapes when they were young, but he later disregarded them and barred them from internet access. The Mickstape and The Pursuit of Happiness are both available. The Story of MickalasCage is, however, is still available. Jenkins pleaded guilty of a misdemeanor charge for smoking marijuana. He spent 34 days in prison in Alabama before returning to Chicago to concentrate on music.
