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 promo stunt from the Liverpool Institute for Performing Arts also revealed Harris Dickinson's take on John Lennon and Joseph Quinn as a floppy-haired George Harrison.

It’ll be two more years before we can actually see them on screen, but on Thursday (Jan. 29), fans got the first look at the Fab Four’s look in director Sam Mendes’ upcoming four-part Beatles biopic series. The Liverpool Institute for Performing Arts — an arts school co-founded in 1996 by Paul McCartney and British entrepreneur Mark Featherstone-Witty — rolled out postcards featuring photos of the actors playing each member of the group as part of a promotional stunt in conjunction with Sony Pictures UK.

As part of a “postcard hunt” the Institute informed students on Friday (Jan. 30) that it had hidden 20 more of the cards that morning with 20 more to be tucked around by lunchtime, asking them to tag the school and movie studio if they find them. “Another huge thanks to Sony for providing these exclusive, hand-numbered postcards. It’s been such an honour to bring the Beatles back home. Paul, George and John all studied in the buildings that now make up LIPA, while Sir Paul remains our Lead Patron,” read the caption to an Instagram post from the school featuring the images (which you can check out here).
