Host Celeste Headlee with Atlanta rapper Killer Mike on May 3, 2016. / On Second Thought

Rapper Killer Mike started out as Michael Render from southwest Atlanta's Adamsville neighborhood. As a solo artist and in his work with Run The Jewels, his lyrics often address issues related to social injustice. Lately, Killer Mike has been a familiar face on the campaign trail in support of Senator Bernie Sanders for President. He talks with us about his music, the presidential race, and his own political future."The greatest part about this republic as I learned as a kid is that we have the ability to transform it at any time." - Killer Mike
