A I STAFF PROFILE OF THE WEEK parties. I once thought it was a great idea to take a date on a night hike in the mountains near my hometown in Washington state. Long story short, after a detour off the frail, my date ended up in an ambulance with a broken wrist and dislocated elbow. I was the fortunate one as far as injuries go, walking away with only six wasp stings on my face, which made me look like Quasimodo from Disneys The Hunchback of Notre Dame. Thankfully, my dates no longer end in hospital trips, but, like hiking, my favorite dates are still cheap and local. College students arent known for having an abundance of extra cash.

Mick Jenkins - On the Map (f BADBADNOTGOD) Starting off, we have a collaboration between Chicago MC Mick Jenkins and Toronto band BADBADNOTGOOD (BBNG). Together, these two deliver a smooth jam reminisjazz-po- p cent of an old 80s-er- a track that's a cover of The Sensei Blue's song of the same name. BBNG contributes with a colorful, lively interpretation of the instrumental that provides this song with another feel than the original thats playful yet grown. In addition, Jenkins lulls over the song, citing different locations of where one woman, or perhaps his various women, reside. She's traveling all over the world as a free spirit, but all Jenkins wants to do is be with her no matter where she is.
