American rapper Killer Mike, known for his socially conscious lyrics and raw storytelling, has unveiled a new project entitled ‘Songs For Sinners & Saints’. The album, set to be released on August 2nd under the moniker Michael & The Mighty Midnight Revival, serves as an epilogue to his previous work under the alias MICHAEL.
In a recent statement, Killer Mike shared his inspiration behind the project, stating, “For me, this is a testimonial. After the celebratory atmosphere that followed MICHAEL, I was reminded that tribulations never cease, but God is always with me. This album is a testament to my tumultuous times, trials, and triumphs in the face of doubt and fear. I aim to connect with my fellow sinners and saints through my music.”
The album not only includes new material but also features a revamped medley of ‘SLUMMER’ and ‘SOMETHING FOR JUNKIES’ from his previous album. Killer Mike explains, “These songs exist in the same universe and I felt they deserved another approach. They are part of one long play in my mind, and I wanted to explore that concept further.”
Recently, Killer Mike performed at the Newport Folk Festival and released a live performance video of ‘HUMBLE ME’ from his upcoming album. He is currently engaged in a residency at New York’s Blue Note Jazz Club, culminating in a special show on July 31st featuring a guest appearance from El-P of Run The Jewels.
The tracklist for ‘Songs For Sinners & Saints’ includes collaborations with artists such as Anthony Hamilton, Offset, and Project Pat. Killer Mike’s upcoming tour dates include stops in Detroit, Chicago, Amsterdam, Dublin, and Paris, among others.
Killer Mike’s blend of hard-hitting lyrics and soulful beats has drawn comparisons to legendary hip-hop artists like Tupac Shakur and Nas. His socially conscious messages and passionate delivery have solidified his place in the rap game as an artist unafraid to tackle important issues affecting society.
With his latest project, ‘Songs For Sinners & Saints’, Killer Mike continues to push boundaries and deliver powerful music that resonates with a diverse audience. Be sure to catch him on tour and experience his electrifying performances firsthand.
