The announcement arrives with the dreamy twang of the new single, "Understood," produced by longtime collaborator Kaytranada, who also matched the Chicago rapper's rapid-fire release with a smooth soul chop on the previous single "What Am I To Do." Pieces of a Man follows Jenkins' 2016 studio album, The Healing Component, and the Soundcloud-exclusive series, or more. The new track is fit with a visual accompaniment that charts the exchange between generations of fathers and sons, directed by Nick Walker.
