Killer Mike Says Epic 12-Minute André 3000 Track Is Still on the Way

Killer Mike has renewed excitement around his unreleased second collaboration with André 3000, confirming that the ambitious record remains in his plans after spending several years inside the vault. The Atlanta rapper made it clear that he still intends to share the song, although the final decision depends on André approving its release.

Speaking during a recent Red Bull Music interview, Mike described the collaboration as “absolutely” still coming before adding one condition: André must not change his mind. The 12-minute track reportedly features a seven-minute verse from André followed by five minutes from Killer Mike. Mike first teased it in 2023, promising to revisit the release if MICHAEL performed well. The album later won Best Rap Album, Best Rap Song and Best Rap Performance at the Grammys, while their previous collaboration, “Scientists & Engineers,” became one of its defining records, according to Complex.

The unusual length alone makes the unreleased song one of hip-hop’s most intriguing collaborations. Rather than following a standard structure built around short verses and a repeated hook, the track appears designed to give both lyricists enough room to develop complete ideas without rushing their performances.

André 3000’s seven-minute contribution is especially significant because new rap verses from the OutKast legend have become increasingly rare. His selective approach means every appearance attracts attention, and another extended performance alongside Killer Mike would immediately become a major moment for listeners who value detailed writing and Southern lyricism.

The update also arrives as Killer Mike prepares the next stage of his solo career. He revealed that MICHAEL II is nearing completion and named Mike Will Made-It among the producers involved, suggesting that the forthcoming era could continue the personal storytelling and ambitious musical direction established on its Grammy-winning predecessor.

No release date has been announced for the André 3000 collaboration, but Mike’s latest confirmation shows that the record has not been abandoned. Provided André gives the final approval, fans could eventually hear a lengthy meeting between two of Atlanta’s most respected voices and one of the most anticipated unreleased songs connected to either artist.
