Killer Mike - three-song performance (live at The Current)

Twenty years into a hip-hop career that includes 10 years as part of the acclaimed group Run The Jewels, Killer Mike has released the solo album, "Michael," (available on ‪@LomaVistaRecs‬) so that people would get to know the more personal side of Michael Render, “that little nine-year-old boy on the album cover with the horns and the halo and the buck teeth and the smile.”
Watch Killer Mike and the Midnight Revival Choir perform three songs from "Michael."
Following the session, Killer Mike sat down with host Jill Riley to share his story. Watch that interview here: www.thecurrent.org/feature/20...

I really wish I could join your camp one day. I'm loving everything about the style of hip hop you bring to the table. My mom's died from lupus and my grandmother not long afterwards from lunch cancer. That was in 96 going into 97. I haven't been really focused after that . But that track really helped me bro. More blessings to you..
