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.”

As he’s cruising down the highway before taking “Exit 9” toward Martin Luther King Jr. Drive, Killer Mike detours to add a handful of bars to the remix, which finds him paying tribute to the late Dungeon Family member Rico Wade.

“Passin’ through the temp’, I say a prayer for fallen soldiers/ Rest in peace to Brucе and may God be with DG Yola/ It hurt like Hell to say but rеst in peace to Rico Wade,” he raps.

Both verses are tied together by an infectious chorus courtesy of Blxst. The original “Exit 9” appeared on Killer Mike’s 2023 album Michael.

Mike’s robust project pulled off the Grammy trifecta earlier this year, where he won best rap album and song, and best rap performance.

The East Coast Music Awards are back after a year of controversy.

The 2025 edition of the East Coast Music Awards was surrounded by controversy over the firing of the previous East Coast Music Association CEO Blanche Israël. Several artists boycotted the association's awards show and conference and called for transparency about governance and the nomination processes. In March 2025, the trade org published a six-point action plan, and later appointed former Great Big Sea member Bob Hallett as the new Executive Director.
