— Just a couple weeks after dropping the video for his unabashed Atlanta anthem “EXIT 9 (feat. Blxst)”, Killer Mike has shared a new version of the track with yet another esteemed ATLien, Offset.

The track was premiered by Killer Mike on HOT 107.9 in Atlanta on Thursday, April 25th, ahead of its streaming release. “Exit 9 in Atlanta is the Adamsville Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd. so when we started talking about doing a remix I knew I wanted to keep it on some Atlanta shit,” states Mike.

“Offset and I have been running into each other over the years showing one another love and respect & talking about working on something. Finally the time was right and the Nawf’West Remix was born!” — Killer Mike

EXIT 9

The song’s unabashed tribute to the city was brought into crystalline focus in the music video, which depicts Blxst and Mike breaking bread with the mayor and making the rounds to notable ATL landmarks from the Cascade roller rink to the Blue Flame.

The remix lands just a few weeks ahead of the inaugural dates of the much anticipated North American leg of his Down By Law – Summer 2024 Tour, backed by his choir The Mighty Midnight Revival. The dates are Mike’s first major shows since last Summer’s High & Holy Tour and his recent Grammy sweep, in which he won awards in all three major rap categories: Best Rap Album for MICHAEL, Best Rap Song and Best Rap Performance for SCIENTISTS & ENGINEERS (ft. Future, André 3000, and Eryn Allen Kane).” The unique talents of The Midnight Revival also recently figured prominently in a cathartic performance of “Exit 9” on The Late Show With Stephen Colbert.
