Hear the new single, “Motherless”, now.

Killer Mike’s upcoming album Michael is set for a vinyl release on September 15 via Loma Vista.

Michael, which drops digitally on June 16, is Killer Mike’s first solo release since 2012’s R.A.P. Music. Watch the video for his new single, “Motherless”, directed by Shane Smith, below.

 

“It was the last song made for the album because I hadn’t uttered these words [‘my momma dead’] out loud since her transitioning,” explains Mike in a statement about “Motherlesss”. “When I tell the story of my mother the tales told include one when I walked in on her attempting to take her own life—it gets to the heart of how deeply sensitive an artist and human she was.”

“She survived, was diagnosed bi-polar and depressed; she fought that until the day she died. She lived a beautifully rich outlaw of a life and I am honored to show her as the total beautiful badass she was.”

Michael is available to pre-order in a range of variants, including black and amber.
