Religion has always had a place in rap music, and for Killer Mike, he’s confronted his — often contentious — beliefs on his previous solo album in 2012. 

His new album, Michael, is a break from his Run The Jewel’s project and first solo record in a little over 10 years. The songs showcase a shift in his belief and centers that confrontation yet again.

Layering in gospel choirs, questions and deeply personal investigation it’s Michael, the new album from Killer Mike and your Album of the Week on The Current.
