Don’t let the villainous stage name, the big-man baritone or the rap bluster fool you: Killer Mike is a crier.

The man born Michael Render — a trash-talking musician, activist, organizer, father of four and political punching bag who also hits back — has a knack, in song and speech, for righteous fury. But these days, nearing 50 and closer than ever to self-actualization, it’s when the tears start flowing that Killer Mike knows he is really gathering momentum, saying what needs to be said.

“You’re a musician, you get rich and start doing all kinds of crazy stuff like drinking green juice in the morning,” he explained last month during a particularly tearful conversation charting his recent path to more openness and acceptance. “Then your wife convinces you to go see a therapist.”

That was when he started looking in the mirror, a process of personal excavation and revelation documented across “Michael,” the first Killer Mike solo album in 11 years, out June 16. A complex portrait of Southern Black masculinity, the album details the life of a proud patriarch somewhere near peace through the stories and lessons of the women who shepherded him, the culture reporter @joecoscarelli writes.
