After a decade-long wait, Killer Mike is set to release his first solo album in 10 years, Michael, on June 16, 2023. The legendary rapper, known for his role in the acclaimed hip-hop duo Run the Jewels, is making a big return with a project that promises to deliver raw energy and insightful storytelling. Along with the album announcement, Killer Mike has shared a fresh single, "Don’t Let the Devil," giving fans a taste of what's to come.
Produced by El-P, No I.D., and Little Shalimar, with Thankugoodsir contributing to the hook, "Don’t Let the Devil" showcases Killer Mike's powerful lyricism and signature style. The track resonates with fans of Run the Jewels, as Mike boldly boasts about their legendary partnership with lines like, "The jewels runners, the product of many cruel summers." The song delivers both depth and energy, capturing the essence of Mike's musical evolution over the years.
In an emotional Instagram post, Killer Mike reflected on his journey and how his younger self would have reacted to this monumental moment. He expressed his excitement about collaborating with El-P again, while also celebrating some exciting personal milestones, including his Nike SB collaborations. "Life is great, kid. Stay focused and Don’t Let The Devil coerce ya!" Mike wrote, reminding fans of the importance of staying true to oneself.
Michael will be Killer Mike's first solo album since the release of R.A.P. Music in 2012. While he has released solo singles in recent years, such as "Run" with Young Thug and Dave Chappelle, this album marks a return to his roots as an individual artist. With Michael, fans can expect a blend of introspective lyrics, impactful production, and the raw energy that Killer Mike is known for.
To make this year even more special, Run the Jewels will also embark on a 10th-anniversary tour across select cities, celebrating a decade of musical success and fan devotion.
