Michael, Killer Mike’s first solo album in ten years, was released in June of last year, and has received critical acclaim in Hip-Hip circles.
On an episode his Brilliant Idiots podcast, Charlamagne Tha God argued that Michael is deserving of Album of The Year.
“I know Killer Mike is gonna win Rap Album of the Year,” he said. “Grammy, Recording Academy: if Killer Mike does not win Rap Album of the Year, something is wrong. If he does not win Rap Album of the Year for Michael, something is wrong. He definitely should win something for [Best Rap Song and Best Rap Performance nominee] ‘Scientists & Engineers,’ but there’s no better rap album than Killer Mike all year long.”
