Killer Mike has announced The Down By Law Tour. The tour features a stop at the Los Angeles venue The Novo on Tuesday, October 15.
Killer Mike and the Mighty Midnight Revival will be heading on the road starting with an appearance at the Riverbeat Fest on May 4 in Memphis, TN. The Grammy-winning artist will be traveling throughout the US and Canada this summer before heading to Europe in late August and finally returning to the states this fall to conclude the tour with a final show in Los Angeles, CA on October 15. The 33-date tour includes stops at cities such as New York, Toronto, Atlanta, London, and even a special performance in Washington, D.C. with The National Symphony Orchestra.
Born in Atlanta, GA, Grammy-winning artist and songwriter Michael Render aka Killer Mike, is part of the popular hip-hop super duo, Run The Jewels. Alongside his partner, EL-P, he has released four studio albums. Their most recent, RTJ4, soared to the Top 10 on the Billboard 200 and was met with widespread critical acclaim, landing at No. 1 on NME’s The Best 50 Albums of 2020 list. Named the 2020 Spin Magazine Artist of the Year, Run The Jewels have won eleven Libera Awards, including the 2021 A2IM Humanitarian Award, took home four Clio Awards, including two Gold-winning Music Marketing campaigns, and received a 2018 Grammy nomination for Best Rap Song.
Beyond his work with Run The Jewels, Killer Mike has been an active solo artist for over 20 years, releasing his latest solo studio album, MICHAEL, in 2023. The record earned him three Grammy Awards at the 66th Annual Grammy Awards for Best Rap Album, Best Rap Song and Best Rap Performance. The rapper was also famously arrested shortly after his win for a misdemeanor following an altercation with a security guard. Killer Mike had also previously secured a Grammy Award for Best Rap Performance Duo or Group for his collaboration with Outkast, “The Whole World.”
In addition to his success as a musician, Killer Mike has gained wide recognition beyond the industry. He acted in several films, including Baby Driver, Idlewild, and ATL. He also provided voiceover for the 2021 Netflix film America: The Motion Picture and is the host of multiple series including PBS’ Love & Respect with Killer Mike, Facebook’s Roll’N with Killer Mike, and Netflix’s Trigger Warning with Killer Mike. Killer Mike is an advocate for the disenfranchised, a business owner, and a frequent public speaker on politics, race, and inequality in many communities.
