Killer Mike

Before he even released his debut solo CD, hip-hop artist Killer Mike scored a Grammy with OutKast for the song “The Whole World” in 2003.  Mike’s new project, “R.A.P. Music” is his sixth studio effort and one that showcases the wisdom that has come with aging in the music business. The lyrics are poetic, political and poignant and the project is already receiving high praise from critics. The Atlanta-based rapper is one of the featured performers at this year’s Hopscotch Festival in Raleigh. Killer Mike joins host Frank Stasio to talk about his career, including cartoon voiceover work, his new CD and why he opened a barber shop in South Atlanta.

Longtime NPR correspondent Frank Stasio was named permanent host of The State of Things in June 2006. A native of Buffalo, Frank has been in radio since the age of 19. He began his public radio career at WOI in Ames, Iowa, where he was a magazine show anchor and the station's News Director.
