Killer Mike And Damian Jr. Gong Marley Team Up For RUN Remix Music Video

Killer Mike calls on Damian “Jr. Gong” Marley for a reimagined version of his song “RUN.”

Initially released in July 2022 as the lead single from his latest acclaimed album Michael, the track is described as a statement record about Black excellence in the face of systemic adversity and the intrinsic role Black people have had in shaping American culture and economy.

The colorful music video finds both musicians in Miami, spending time with residents and dancing freely to the Carribean-infused beat.

“Hip-Hop and Reggae are both people’s music. People’s music speaks for the salt of the Earth, the worker class that toils and constitutes the masses,” explains Killer Mike. “I am proud that Bob’s son and Denise’s son united the music, the vibes, and the diaspora to make this song for THE PEOPLE. Run to glory together! Love and respect.”

“It’s imperative that I get that out and introduce people to this buck-toothed kid who grew up with hip-hop, out of wedlock fatherhood,” described the 48-year-old to GRAMMY of the album. “This record is like a prodigal son coming home. It’s my generational statement. If August Wilson was writing a rap album, this would be his Fences.”
