ABOUT KILLER MIKE

Killer Mike gets recognized as many things – a rapper, an entrepreneur, and for his widely lauded advocacy work on political and social causes – which yielded him Billboard’s inaugural 2020 Change Maker Award. Most recently his critically lauded 2023 album MICHAEL earned him three Grammy Awards (Best Rap Album and Best Rap Song & Performance for “SCIENTISTS & ENGINEERS”) and BET’s Album of the Year award for its complex portrait of Black southern masculinity. The album’s touring cycle has brought him everywhere from a six show residency at NYC’s legendary Blue Note Jazz Club to a landmark performance at The Kennedy Center backed by the National Symphony Orchestra. While Killer Mike has been an active solo artist for over 20 years, he is also widely renowned as half of the popular hip-hop duo Run The Jewels with his partner in rhyme EL-P. The duo have released four albums including 2020’s RTJ4, which soared to the Top 10 on the Billboard 200 and was met with unanimous acclaim, including the #1 spot on NME’s Best 50 Albums of 2020 list. Killer Mike also counts several acting credits to his name, including appearances in Baby Driver, Idlewild, Ozark, and Billions, and hosts the Emmy Award winning PBS show Love & Respect with Killer Mike.
