Killer Mike Recruits Offset for Blxst-Assisted ‘Exit 9’ Remix: Listen

Mike also delivers a new verse paying homage to the late Rico Wade.

Killer Mike has his foot on the gas pedal in 2024, carrying the momentum from his three Grammy wins earlier this year. He gave one of his Michael standout tracks a mini-makeover on Friday (April 26), as an extended remix of “Exit 9” arrived featuring a new verse from the 49-year-old Atlanta rapper and a guest appearance by Offset.

The Migos rhymer steals the show while reflecting on those he’s lost along his journey with a contemplative verse: “Grandma died, I wish I could go back and get time/ Ayy, and I can’t live with no regrets/ VVS on my neck and I will kill for my respect/ I done ran it up and now I’m finally out of debt.”
