After a banner year recording and touring with cohort El-P as the dynamic duo Run The Jewels, Killer Mike returns to his last solo album, 2012’s widely-praised “R.A.P. Music,†and presents a video for the excellent deep cut “Ghetto Gospel,†also produced by El-P. Directed by Carlos Haynes and Trevor Kane, we find Mike donning glasses and a tie, clutching a bible, repenting some sins in church, and indulging in others elsewhere. There’s no word yet of a new solo album on the horizon, but Run The Jewels is set to release a sophomore album this year.
