Michael Santiago Render, better known by his stage name Killer Mike, was born on April 20, 1975, in Adamsville, Atlanta, Georgia.
The singer has had a surprisingly eventful acting career. He also made a cameo as himself in an episode of season 4 of Netflix's "Ozark".
Never one to shy away from political activism, Killer Mike often targets issues like systemic racism and police brutality head-on.
Mike and wife Shana run a barbershop in Atlanta called "Graffitis SWAG".
Besides having worked with Outkast, Mike is also one-half of rap duo Run the Jewels. Their song "Nobody Speak" appears on the "Deadpool 2" soundtrack.
