Killer Mike has shared an emotional new live version of Motherless featuring Robert Glasper on keys and Eryn Allen Kane on vocals.

Killer Mike says: "Two years ago I was asked to get on Black Superhero by Robert Glasper - the song was incredible and he'd go on to win a Grammy for that album.  My only regret was that we weren't in the same room when we made it.  So when talk of him remixing Motherless came up it was a no brainer only this time we wanted to be in studio together along with Eryn Allen Kane.

Someone was smart enough to have cameras there capturing us making this tribute to my mother, Druzella Denise Clonts aka OG Mama Niecy and Rob's mother, Kim Yvette Glasper.  Performing this song is never easy - I wept every night on tour.

The outpouring of emotions has been part of healing.  To all those who belong to Motherless club I pray this helps and to all those who are lucky enough to have their mothers - call them!"

The original version of Motherless is one of the highlights of Killer Mike’s latest album. Michael.  The Grammy winning rapper hits London soon for an intimate, sold out headline show at Lafayette in Kings Cross on 31st October - his first solo UK show in 11 years - plus an in-store conversation and album signing session at Rough Trade East on 4th November.
