Arriving today (October 27), Mike’s latest offering – produced by DJ Paul and TWhy Xclusive – begins with a cameo voiceover appearance from Jamie Foxx. “I just need someone to help me stay awake because evidently Killer Mike has gone to sleep,” he says.
The official ‘Talk’n That Shit!’ visuals see the RTJ star shine a light on organisations that are important to him, including Youth Build, Next Level Boys Academy and New Georgia Project.
“The song is self explanatory. With the video, I wanted show the freedom and beauty in being able to turn up in spite of all the fuck-shit,” Mike explained in a statement. “That upsets the bourgeoisie even more – in spite of all your criticisms, we’re gonna live free and stay lit.”
