SUMMARY:Killer Mike
DESCRIPTION:Atlanta’s favorite son Killer Mike gets recognized as many things – a rapper\, an advocate for the disenfranchised\, an entrepreneur\, a Bernie Sanders whisperer\, and for his widely lauded advocacy work on political and social causes – which yielded him Billboard’s inaugural 2020 Change Maker Award. Most recently his critically lauded 2023 album MICHAEL earned him three Grammy Awards (Best Rap Album and Best Rap Song & Performance for “SCIENTISTS & ENGINEERS”) for its complex portrait of Black southern masculinity. The honors marked his first awards from the Academy since taking home the Grammy for Best Rap Performance Duo or Group for his 2001 collaboration with Outkast\, “The Whole World.” \nWhile Killer Mike has been an active solo artist for over 20 years\, releasing numerous studio projects while also collaborating with some of the biggest names in hip-hop (including Outkast\, Jay-Z\, Big Boi\, T.I.\, Black Thought\, and more)\, he is also widely renowned as half of the popular hip-hop super duo\, Run The Jewels\, with whom he has released four studio albums alongside his partner in rhyme EL-P. Their most recent\, 2020’s RTJ4\, soared to the Top 10 on the Billboard 200 and was met with widespread critical acclaim\, landing at #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. \nIn addition to his success as a musician\, Killer Mike has gained wide recognition beyond the industry. He has acted in several films\, including Baby Driver\, Idlewild\, and ATL and showed up TV cameos on Ozark and Billions. He also provided voiceover for the 2021 Netflix film America: The Motion Picture and is the host of multiple series including the Emmy Award winning PBS show Love & Respect with Killer Mike\, Facebook’s Roll’N with Killer Mike\, and Netflix’s Trigger Warning with Killer Mike\, while also turning in regular speaking appearances on Late Show with Stephen Colbert and Real Time with Bill Maher. \nOpening: DJ Shub \nSocial activism and a feverish dance party make a tantalizing combination\, and 2022 JUNO Award winner for Contemporary Indigenous Artist of the Year\, Dan “DJ Shub” General is the grand marshal we nominate to lead this jubilant parade. Shub is a true original: a title-holding battle DJ/producer\, a joyful collaborator and a non-stop creator who skillfully weaves craft\, message and heritage. Since exiting A Tribe Called Red\, Shub has continued adding jewels to his “Godfather of PowWowStep” crown. War Club is Shub’s latest celebration of Indigenous power: a special filmed on Six Nations of the Grand River Reserve in Ontario that features Shub’s trademark finger-smoking scratch-a-thons\, an all-ages cast of traditional dancers\, and plenty of bustles shaking to outstanding musical collaborations with Phoenix Pagliacci\, Boogát and Fawn Wood that tells the tale of a young girl searching for her brother with the help of an enchanted war club. Shub’s uncompromising pride in Aboriginal heritage and talent is the driving force behind his art. Join the parade – Shub’s made sure there’s enough hip hop\, Indigenous culture\, power\, protest and humanity for all of us. \nFor Accessible seating please contact: boxoffice@coastaljazz.ca / 604-872-5200 ext. 5 \nPlease note: Tickets are NON REFUNDABLE\, but they are transferable.
