Killer Mike is working on the new “Run The Jewels” album.
Killer Mike is prepping the release of his new album “Michael”, and the rapper has now provided an update on the next “Run The Jewels” album with producer/rapper El-P. In 2020, the duo delivered the fourth instalment of their Run The Jewels album series, and they are now gearing up for the fifth one.
“The album is literally two days away,” he revealed in a new interview with High Times. “I have to go in tonight and change two lines on a song. I’m just waiting for some drums from [producer] No I.D. and we’re done.”
“I didn’t see it for exactly what it was because I’ve never been here before, but I knew we were something badass and we were going to be big,” he continued. “Big is relative. Coming off the underground, big is just, ‘Hey man, I went gold,’ and I can play small clubs. Did I see us doing 100,000 people in England with [Labour Party leader] Jeremy Corbyn? Did I see us opening for the Foo Fighters at the Super Bowl in Atlanta? Did I see us doing Pitchfork Music Festival with 40,000 kids? No, I did not. I am so, so grateful.”
When DJ Kenny Perez shared about the album, he mentioned that it might include collaborations with André 3000, Lil Wayne, and Dave Chappelle. However, these collaborations have not been officially confirmed yet.
During a listening party, Mike reportedly performed two new tracks called ‘Shed Tears’ and ‘High + Holy’. The latter was dedicated to his wife as a tribute.
Killer Mike recently released his new single “Don’t Let The Devil“, which featured assistance from El-P & Thank You Good Sir. The track was the first offering off his upcoming solo album slated to drop on June 16th, featuring Lil Wayne, Andre 3000, Dave Chappelle & More.
