Alright, gather ’round, folks, ’cause we’ve got some spicy Hip-Hop tea to spill. Killer Mike, our underground legend and Outkast’s star student from the 2000s, has been stirring the pot. You know him as one half of Run the Jewels, the duo that’s got more bars than Rikers Island.
Sure, he might not have the chart-topping hits, but his lyrical game? It’s tighter than…well, you get the idea. He’s a friend of the site and we love him. But, something is afoot. Check it.

The 2024 Grammys stirred up some beef! Killer Mike snagged a Grammy and Travis Scott fans were hotter than a fresh jalapeño. They cried foul, saying Mike didn’t deserve the award. Well, Killer Mike ain’t the type to let things slide. Nope, he went full Deadpool on this narrative in his new album.
Enter “Songs for Sinners & Saints,” an album so good, it could make a grown man cry. Killer Mike does his thing over some seriously soulful beats.
But it’s the closing track, “STILL TALK’N THAT SH#T,” where he really goes in. Mike’s got a message for Travis Scott and his army of fans: “I’m here to stay, and I’m taking home the trophies, baby!” He raps, “You gon respect me like a motherfckin’ Grammy winner/Like I cooked your favorite rapper like a Granny dinner.” There were no names dropped, but it’s as clear as a day who he’s talking about.
So, Travis fans, take a seat. Killer Mike’s here to remind everyone why he’s the Grammy-winning king, and he’s not backing down. Here’s his new album.
