It was a pleasure to add Killer Mike to the list of collaborations I’ve had with the Kennedy Center and the National Symphony Orchestra over the past decade. He now joins artists such as Nas, Kendrick Lamar, Common, Ne-Yo, and Maxwell with whom we have done shows.
This was a last-minute production, so I could not have done it without the help of my team. Thanks to Jeremy Levy, Jordan Seigel, Lauren Elizabeth Baba, Cameron Moody, Carlos Simon, Lorenzo Carrano, Pano Fountas, and Tyler Detulio.
I made a blog post about the overture I wrote.
