AUDIO: Joshua Jenkins – “MUSCLE”

Milwaukee hip-hop mainstay Joshua Jenkins is back with new heat, and this time he’s flexing hard. “MUSCLE” dropped yesterday, and it’s the kind of track that makes you want to roll down your windows and let the whole block know what’s playing.

Jenkins has been a fixture in Cream City’s rap scene for nearly a decade now—from his ADHD crew days to standout solo efforts like Redemption and “Just Getting Started.” The man keeps his head down, puts in the work, and consistently delivers. “MUSCLE” is no exception.

Clocking in at just under three minutes, this new single is tight, punchy, and doesn’t waste a second. The production rides a 140 BPM bounce that sits right in that sweet spot between trunk-rattler and head-nodder. There’s serious danceability here—this isn’t background music. It demands movement. The low-end hits hard while Jenkins trades verses with the confidence of someone who’s put in years sharpening his craft.

What stands out most is the energy. Jenkins sounds hungry, driven—like he’s got something to prove and the skill set to back it up. For an artist who’s been grinding in Milwaukee’s hip-hop circuit since 2017, “MUSCLE” feels like a statement piece. Not a comeback (he never left), but a reminder.

If you’ve been sleeping on Joshua Jenkins, consider this your wake-up call.
