Michael “Killer Mike” Render dropped his latest song and music video for “Run,” his first solo record in ten years.
The powerful new track features a verse by jailed rapper Young Thug, while the video opens with a monologue by Dave Chappelle.
Chappelle’s speech reads in part, “Mike, the one thing about being a n***a in America, it’s like storming the beach in Normandy. A guy gets popped, another guy goes, another guy falls. You just gotta keep going, gotta keep storming that beach n***a. You gotta keep runnin.’”
The war-themed video sees Mike on a battlefield where Black soldiers fight for freedom against their white oppressors.
