Killer Mike gets your weekend off to a bang!

Craig Charles is joined by rapper, activist and actor Killer Mike to talk about his solo record 'Michael', which is out today.

Craig Charles speaks to Killer Mike about the inspiration behind his latest solo record 'Michael', his beginnings with Outkast, and why community continues to be so important to him as both a rapper and political activist. We also find out about Killer Mike's plans for 2023 and do some digging into a potential fifth record from Run the Jewels...

We’re also going to be hand-picking the funkiest of tracks for 'Thank Funk it's Friday', and we finish the show on a banger of your own choice. To get involved, email us at craig@bbc.co.uk
