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.

Robbie Williams Addresses Rumors About His Sexuality, Saying He ‘Wants to Be Gay,’ But Isn’t

The Take That frontman was also candid about his his portrayal as a CGI chimp in his new biopic, Better Man.

Robbie Williams thinks he’s exhibited a lot of “Patience” around rumors of his sexuality — but in a new interview with The Guardian, the Take That singer is setting the record straight.

Speaking to the outlet about his forthcoming biopic Better Man — in which he is portrayed by a CGI chimpanzee — the singer looked back on his 2005 lawsuit against a tabloid claiming that he was gay, saying that he mostly felt “sad” about the allegations simply because they weren’t true, not due to any internal fear of being perceived as gay.
