THE EDITED PRESS RELEASE: “For me this is a testimonial,” says rapper and activist Killer Mike of Run The Jewels, discussing his his gospel-forward new solo album Songs For Sinners And Saints, recorded under the name Michael & The Mighty Midnight Revival.
“When I was growing up an important part of church service was people having the opportunity to stand up and give public testimony on their trials, tribulations, and triumphs. After the celebratory atmosphere that followed Michael I was reminded that tribulations never cease, but God is always with me and this is a testimonial of my tumultuous times, my trials, and my continued triumph in spite of doubt, outright hate, and fear. I am here to speak to and with my fellow sinners and saints.”
