Posted 3 years, 5 months, 1 week, 4 days, 6 hours, 29 minutes ago

HipHopDX discusses T.I.‘s upcoming addition of Dungeon Family member Killer Mike to his Grand Hustle roster, and throws in a mention of Killer Mike’s recent work with “indie stars” CunninLynguists as evidence of Mike’s ongoing dedication to the indie hustle.

“…So y’all please be patient with me,” Mike asked of his fans. “The lawyers are talking, but you don’t wanna say or sway things publicly just to look swaggerific…You want people to finish out the [details of the] deal so we can get to giving you dope music. But, man, I truly love the independent rap scene. I wanna still be a part of the independent community because I feel like it’s valuable. I feel like it’s needed. And I feel like all too often artists who make it [to a major] abandon it, and I have no intentions of doing that.”

Having just recorded a verse for the Kentucky-based collective, and fellow indie stars, Cunninlynguists, Killer Mike won’t be disappearing from the underground scene anytime soon.

“Tip seems to be giving me the opportunity to [continue to] do that, man,” said Mike. “And that’s what I’m really excited about [with this deal], so God bless the King of the South.”

Underground Atlanta is due from Grind Time/SMC Recordings in March. 16 In The Kitchen is coming soon from Grind Time/Grand Hustle/Atlantic Records.

Enjoy!
