Killer Mike recently gave a lecture at NYU. This Friday (April 24), he'll speak as part of MIT's "Hip-Hop Speaker Series" for a talk called "Race Relations in the U.S.".

Mike has spoken and written about the subject multiple times on stage, in USA Today, on CNN, in an Instagram post, and in a Billboard op-ed. Run the Jewels' recent "Close Your Eyes (And Count to Fuck)" video focused on the futility of police brutality.

MIT recently has hosted lectures from Young Guru and Lil B.
