It\'s been 11 years since the last solo album from\\xa0Killer Mike, and his latest LP, titled Michael, is his most personal yet. Songs reflect on his childhood growing up in Atlanta, and, as he told Zane Lowe in an interview, he was also inspired by\\xa0"the civil rights movement, the abolitionist movement, which gave us some of the most beautiful music ever."

The album features a fantastic collection of collaborators, including CeeLo Green,Young Thug, his Run the Jewels bandmate El-P, and more.\\xa0Today\'s Song of the Day features guest vocals from\\xa0Eryn Allen Kane, and reunites Killer Mike with two members of the\\xa0Dungeon Family hip-hop collective,\\xa0Future and\\xa0Andr\\xe9 3000.
