Photo Copyright Dan Medhurst Killer Mike drops new visuals for his album MICHAEL Atlanta MC Killer Mike is paying tribute to his late mother with two new songs and visuals for "Motherless" and "Don't Let the Devil" that'll be on his upcoming album Michael. Killer Mike talks about the recently songs to Pitchfork, “When I first played Dion (No I.D.) the album he said two things—one of which was that I was essentially holding something back and that was the song ‘Motherless,’” Mike said in a statement, according to Pitchfork. “It was the last song made for the album because I hadn’t uttered these words out loud since her transitioning.” He continued: “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.” Can watch "Don't Let the Devil" and "Motherless" below and his album MICHAEL will be available on all streaming platforms June 16th.
