Run em fast.

Last year was an insanely fruitful year for Killer Mike, bringing him close to presidential candidate Bernie Sanders and into the public eye even more. So really, what better way to cap off a stellar year for both him and his partner in crime El-P than by playing a monstrous set at this year's Coachella. The two came packed with a whole bunch of surprises, the biggest of which was an actual introduction from none other than Bernie Sanders himself before the two got into their set. The crowd exploded, letting them bring out some killer surprises into the mix like inviting out Nas for "Made You Look", playing a brand new song, as well as Gary Clark Jr. to rip some sweet solos. It was monumental, and rightfully so.
