Killer Mike is back with a new solo single called "Talk'n That Shit," his follow-up to July's "Run" featuring Young Thug and Dave Chappelle. Produced by DJ Paul of Three 6 Mafia fame, the track is paired with a video directed by seck that demonstrates the Run The Jewels MC's reputation as a community leader.
The visual also includes cameos from a range of groups and organizations that are meaningful to him, including PAW Kids, Bass Reeves Gun Club, Next Level Boys Academy, Youth Build and New Georgia Project.
"The song is self explanatory," Killer Mike said in a press release. "With the video I wanted show the freedom and beauty in being able to turn up in spite of all the fuck-shit. That upsets the bourgeoisie even more- in spite of all your criticisms we're gonna live free and stay lit."
Mike was Billboard’s inaugural 2020 Change Maker Award recipient and continues to be an influential cultural commentator via his talk show "Love and Respect," in addition to regular visits on "Late Show with Stephen Colbert" and "Real Time with Bill Maher." More recently, he made headlines with the "Protect Black Art - Rap Lyrics Are Not A Crime" initiative, which successfully petitioned for California and New York to pass laws halting the use of rap lyrics as evidence in criminal trials.
