Killer Mike released his debut album, Monster, in 2003. The album's lead single was "Akshon (Yeah!)", it featured OutKast on guest vocals, and was included on the soundtrack to the 2004 version of EA Sports popular video game Madden NFL. He even made a Madden '04 remix of "Akshon (Yeah!)" for the game. Following the release of his own material, he appeared on "Flip Flop Rock" and "Bust" on the Speakerboxx half of Speakerboxxx/The Love Below. He also appeared on "Southern Takeover" with Pastor Troy on Chamillionaire's CD The Sound of Revenge. His second album "Ghetto Extraordinary" has had its release date pushed back several times due to disputes between Big Boi and Sony Records.
He collaborated with underground legendary producer and MC EL-P on his album R.A.P. Music in 2012. Mike and El-P went on to form the famous hip-hop duo Run The Jewels, releasing their debut self-titled album in 2013, RTJ2 in 2014, and RTJ3 in 2016, with RTJ4 planned for a release in 2019.
Killer Mike has also performed as a voice actor. He plays a rapper/actor, turned President of the United States, named Taqu'il in the Adult Swim cartoon Frisky Dingo. According to an article published in the June 2007 issue of XXL, Killer Mike addressed why he left the Purple Ribbon roster. He stated that he felt as if Purple Ribbon was the equivalent to the "Clippers," while he wanted to join the "Lakers."

Two Sides
Killer Mike Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴
You don't never come here
Saying that you from here
You don't never come here
Saying that you from here
You don't never come here (Well goddamn!
There must be 2 sides)
Claiming my city and they ain't from mine
A-town niggas so real, so raw
My bloodline is down by law
My pedigree is so Zone Three
So Zone One, so Zone Four
In other words fuckboy I ain't no ho
Nigga, I'm known at the AAMCO
Where the dope gets sold and the hammers blow
Still at the store where you grandma go
You know the same store where you can't go
Cause you ain't go, stop lying ho
Niggas see dumb niggas eyein' yo'
Piece and chain, 'bout to blow your brain
You wanna G up but you can't
Real niggas do what a fuckboy can't
Come through 'hood in wet-ass paint
Leave the car running with a filled up tank
Let a motherfucker try and touch my Chevy
Guarantee that I'ma put four in his belly
Two in his chest and a few in his neck
Then I dip back out to the flat
West-side OG that be me
Martin Luther King on my ID
Shawty L-O and TIP
Both know me from the goddamn streets
Now ask your favorite rapper 'bout me
No, ask your favorite d-boy about me
Ask Lil' Lean, ask Fat Steez
Ask Sleepy and Young Pill
All they gonna tell you is I keep it real
I put that shit on Adamsville
You say you from the west-side?
(Well goddamn! There must be 2 sides)
You say you from the east-Side?
(Well goddamn! There must be 2 sides)
You say you from the south-side?
(Well goddamn! There must be 2 sides)
You say you from the north-side?
(Well goddam! There must be 2 sides)
West-side bound but I'm east-side found
Ask them Glenwood boys I'm 'round
Who is these east-side niggas you 'round?
Ain't never, ever seen none of 'em clowns
I don't never see 'em on Candler Road
In Eastwyck or Old Flat Shoals
Nigga steady saying he from Decatur
Pussy, you's a fucking faker
I'ma ask them niggas on Marve Road
I'ma ask them niggas on Memorial
I'ma ask them niggas on Panola Road
If the niggas don't know, I'ma ask some hoes
Why? Cause you pussy, nigga
I ain't no pussy nigga
Think I am then push me, nigga
Wet me up and douche me, nigga
Up shopping in south DeKalb
South DeKalb with a fine young stallion
Or Candler Road, Red Lobster cracking
With my east-side mobster faction
Might see me with on a Kirkwood block
With a east-side Chevy rider named Big Block
Or Moreland Ave with my top on drop
Radio on Pac just gripping my cock
Gripping my Glock and gripping my grain
On Covington Highway getting some brain
Rainbow Drive, I made my name
Slinging that pure Bolivian 'cane
Making some change two years before
The Olympics came, two years after
Met Gucci Mane through DJ
Funk and Daryl James i'm real with it mayne
Saying that you from here
You don't never come here x9
In "2 Sides," Killer Mike and Shawty Lo address the issue of people claiming to be from certain areas but never actually being present there. They argue that there are two sides to every story, and urge people to be honest about where they come from. The chorus repeats the assertion that if someone claims to be from a certain area but never actually shows up, then there must be two sides to the story.
Throughout the verses, they give examples of people who are lying about being from certain areas, specifically in Atlanta. They call out "fuckboys" who claim to be from their neighborhoods but are never actually seen around. Killer Mike and Shawty Lo make it clear that they are not afraid of confrontation and are willing to call out those who are being dishonest about their origins. They also emphasize their own authenticity and realness.
Overall, "2 Sides" is a powerful message about honesty and integrity. It urges people to be true to themselves and their backgrounds, and to not try to portray a false image to others.
