Killer Mike Pledges Allegiance to the Grind
I've long been a fan of former (?) Outkast affiilaite Killer Mike. Dude is truly like no other in this rap game since 2pac passed and Cube went Hollywood - he's like Young Jeezy-meets-Talib Kweli dropping knowledge and dope boy rhymes in his records. He recently released the 2-CD I Pledge Allegiance to the Grind album on his own indie Grind Time Official record label but it should be getting more attention. Why are this album and Mike not being championed by more so-called hip hop blogs? People, get on your grind and check out this artist and album NOW:
Killer Mike - "One More Gram (feat Chemiere)" [MP3: YSI | zshare stream/download] - this is a crazy remake of BIG's classic "One More Chance."
Bonus audio: "That's Life" - been around for a minute but now also officially available on the I Pledge Allegiance... album.
On the net: MySpace | BUY Killer Mike's I Pledge Allegiance to the Grind
H/t: my dude Sledge who put me up on this. He picked this CD up immediately after reading an interview with Mike in the current issue of Ozone. Mike's always kind of been know for giving better interview than music but with I Pledge Allegiance... , it looks like he's finally addressed that problem.
