Episode notes
This week on The Sound of Young America, we go on the grind.
Grammy-winning rapper Killer Mike is a native of Adamsville, Georgia, outside of Atlanta. Since debuting on the Outkast single “The Whole World” in 2001, he has emerged from the shadow of his legendary mentors, combining a ferocious delivery with lyrical density in a manner reminiscent of Ice Cube in his hey-day. He recently released “I Pledge Allegiance to the Grind,” a two-CD “street album” with his crew, Grind Time Rap Gang.
Please note: we had a little phone trouble 2/3 of the way through and Mike had to go on speakerphone, apologies for any audio quality issues.
