Killer Mike’s new album, Songs for Sinners & Saints, is set for an official release this Friday (August 2nd), but for the next 48 hours, fans can download it for free — and legally!
Preceded by the single “HUMBLE ME,” Songs for Sinners & Saints arrives as a follow-up to last year’s MICHAEL (one of the best albums of 2023). The 10-track record features Mike’s gospel group The Mighty Midnight Revival, as well as appearances from Offset, Key Glock, Project Pat, and more. Download it here.
“I just wanna thank you for this journey I’ve been on,” the rapper wrote in the Run the Jewels newsletter. “This past decade has seen so many of my dreams come true, and the support I’ve received this past year with MICHAEL has been so beautiful and inspiring that I realized I wasn’t finished with the sound. I wanted to do something with the people who have been bringing it to life every night performing it with me.”
He continued, “So, we made a new project called MICHAEL and THE MIGHTY MIDNIGHT REVIVAL — SONGS FOR SINNERS & SAINTS. It’s an epilogue to MICHAEL and a thank you to all of you who believed in me (& US) from day one. The album comes out this Friday August 2nd, BUT you get to download it for FREE right now.”
The artist is set to wrap up his residency at New York’s Blue Note Jazz Club tonight (get tickets here). The performance will be livestreamed on Mike’s YouTube channel for fans who can’t make it.
Following that, Mike will play Lollapalooza this weekend before going on a short run of shows. Get tickets to any of his upcoming concerts here.
Over the past weekend, Mike hit both Nelsonville Music Festival and Newport Folk Festival, proving that the term “folk” encompasses hip-hop and beyond.
Last summer, he sat down with our own Wren Graves to chat about MICHAEL. Revisit the conversation here.
