“Long before Atlanta was dubbed the ‘hip hop center of gravity,’ we were known as ‘the city to busy to hate’ said Killer Mike. “The legacies of local civil rights icons, like MLK and congressman John Lewis, have inspired generations of music artist like myself to use our platforms to advance society’s most pressing causes. I look forward to sharing powerful stories to motivate the people at SXSW to continue working towards opportunity and prosperity for all.”
