In the wake of landing not one, not two, but three (completely deserved) Grammy nominations for his AOTY-contending MICHAEL album, Killer Mike has returned with a fresh remix of “RUN” which now features Damian “Jr Gong” Marley instead of Young Thug.
Originally released on July 4th of last year as a statement record about Black excellence in the face of systemic adversity and the intrinsic role Black people have had in shaping American culture and economy, the updated version helps provide a lens through which to understand the global resonance of the original’s theme.
“Hip Hop and Reggae are both People’s Music. People’s Music speaks for the salt of the earth, the worker class that toils and constitutes the masses,” Mike says. “I am proud that Bob’s son and Denise’s son united the music, the vibes, and the diaspora to make this song for THE PEOPLE. Run To Glory Together! Love and Respect.”
Released with a matching video that was recently shot in Miami, the song can be heard below.
