  • Black History Is World History | Conversate with Killer Mike ep. 33

    In this Black History Month episode of Conversate with Killer Mike, the conversation expands in a powerful way.

    Killer Mike, Cutmaster Swiff, Bear, and Executive Producer Ashley Weaver sit down for a wide ranging and deeply personal discussion about Black history, shared American history, identity, education, and responsibility. Ashley Weaver joins the table as the first woman featured on the show, bringing insight from behind the camera to the front of the conversation.

    From Malcolm X and Marcus Garvey to Condoleezza Rice, Frederick Douglass, the Tuskegee Airmen, and Atlanta’s own legacy, the crew explores why Black history is not separate from American history. Mike speaks on unity, miseducation, cultural pride, generational knowledge, and the importance of building strong foundations at home.

    There is humor, debate, sports talk, and unfiltered honesty, but at its core this episode is about understanding where we come from so we can decide where we are going.

    This is not just Black history. This is shared history.

  • Conspiracies, Aliens, and Hidden Knowledge ft. Billy Carson | Conversate with Killer Mike ep. 34

    Killer Mike, Bear, and Cutmaster Swiff sit down with researcher and author Billy Carson for a conversation that moves from ancient civilizations to modern conspiracies and the nature of human consciousness.

    Billy Carson breaks down theories about the pyramids of Giza, ancient temples, and whether early civilizations possessed advanced knowledge that has been lost over time. The discussion explores ancient texts from Mesopotamia, Egypt, and India that describe cosmic events, advanced beings, and knowledge of the universe long before modern science.

    The table dives deep into the idea of consciousness and whether reality itself could be part of a larger cosmic system. From simulation theory to extraterrestrial life, the group debates how ancient mythology, religion, and modern science might all be pointing toward the same bigger questions about where humanity came from and where it is going.

    The conversation also turns to modern conspiracies and power structures. The crew discusses elite networks, the Epstein files, and the ongoing public fascination with hidden systems of power and influence.

    Topics covered in this episode include aliens and extraterrestrial life, ancient civilizations and lost knowledge, consciousness and simulation theory, conspiracy culture, secret societies, and the Epstein files.

    It is a wide ranging conversation that connects ancient history, cosmic ideas, and modern questions about power and truth.

  • Are Aliens Already Among Us? ft. Space God da Thug | Conversate with Killer Mike ep. 32

    Killer Mike, Cutmaster Swiff, and Bear kick this one off debating sports greatness, Hall of Fame politics, and whether media figures like Stephen A Smith give everybody the same smoke. The conversation moves from Tom Brady and Jon Jones to health, aging, discipline, and how much Americans are willing to tolerate from government power.

    Then the frequency shifts.
    Halfway through the episode, Space God da Thug drops into the studio and flips the entire vibe. Aliens. Melanin. Cloning. The Matrix. Spiritual maturity over financial literacy. Are humans paying rent on their own planet? Are Black people cosmic by design?
    It’s funny. It’s chaotic. It’s philosophical. It’s Atlanta.
    Just another day at the Conversate table.

  • Conspiracies and the Truth We’re Not Told ft. Ben Bowlin | Conversate with Killer Mike ep. 31

    This week on Conversate with Killer Mike, Mike, Swiff, and Bear sit down with Ben Bowlin, co host of Stuff They Don't Want You To Know, for a deep dive into the conspiracies that shape Atlanta and the world.

    The conversation moves from the Atlanta child murders and lingering questions around Wayne Williams, to propaganda, psychological operations, and whether America has been living inside a carefully constructed bubble. They unpack government secrecy, CIA influence in Hollywood, psychic experiments, environmental corruption abroad, and the idea that a small group of elites quietly steer global systems.
    Then it goes cosmic.
    Are UFO sightings evidence of advanced military tech or extraterrestrial life? Did ancient civilizations receive knowledge from beyond this planet? Why has the moon landing never felt fully settled in the public imagination? And if aliens are real, who already knows?
    Grounded in Atlanta history and global politics, this episode balances skepticism with curiosity. It is not about blind belief. It is about asking better questions. In a world where trust feels broken, how do you stay curious without losing your footing?
    As Ben puts it, it is always better to be curious than judgmental. And on this episode, nothing is off limits.

  • From Pimp to Principles ft. Pimpin’ Ken | Conversate with Killer Mike ep. 30

    Killer Mike and Cutmaster Swiff sit down with Pimpin’ Ken for a conversation that moves far beyond headlines and controversy.

    In this episode, Pimpin’ Ken reflects on the end of the old pimp era and why he publicly denounced the lifestyle. The discussion expands into masculinity, emotional discipline, leadership, family structure, media influence and the psychology of relationships.
    What does it mean to control yourself in a world built on temptation? Why is emotional restraint the foundation of power? Can lessons from the streets translate into legitimate business, ownership and generational leadership?
    This is not a celebration of the past. It is a debate about accountability, growth and what modern manhood requires.

  • Defending People Against a Broken System ft. Brian Steel | Conversate with Killer Mike ep. 29

    On this episode of Conversate with Killer Mike, Killer Mike, Bear, and Cutmaster Swiff sit down with Brian Steel, one of the most respected and principled criminal defense attorneys in America. Known for his discipline, integrity, and willingness to stand alone when the system fails, Brian Steel delivers an unflinching breakdown of why the American justice system is not just broken but engineered to prey on poverty and race.

    From mass incarceration and probation traps to the criminalization of rap lyrics and the erosion of First Amendment rights, this conversation goes far beyond headlines. Brian shares personal stories from his upbringing, his evolution as a lawyer, and the cases that shaped his belief that the government must be questioned and power must be checked. He explains why knowing your rights is essential, why juries still matter, and why justice only works when people are brave enough to demand it.
    This is not a legal lecture. It is a human conversation about dignity, freedom, responsibility, and the future. If you care about civil rights, culture, art, or simply understanding how the system really works, this is an episode you need to hear.

  • When Atlanta Could Not Look Away ft. Payne Lindsey | Conversate with Killer Mike ep. 28

    In this episode of Conversate with Killer Mike, Killer Mike, Cutmaster Swiff, and Bear sit down with Payne Lindsey, creator of Tenderfoot TV, for a wide ranging conversation on true crime, truth seeking, and the responsibility that comes with telling real stories.

    Payne breaks down how a DIY podcast helped reopen a cold case, what it means to investigate crimes the system failed to solve, and how empathy, trust, and patience can lead people to reveal what they have been carrying for years. The group dives deep into the Atlanta Child Murders, Payne’s conversations with Wayne Williams, the role of race and class in unsolved cases, and the emotional toll of living inside other people’s trauma while chasing the truth.
    This episode moves between investigative storytelling, Atlanta history, moral responsibility, and the human need to be heard. It is a raw, thoughtful look at what happens when art, journalism, and justice collide.

  • How Organized Noize Created the Atlanta Sound ft. Sleepy Brown and Ray Murray | Conversate with Killer Mike ep. 26

    On this episode of Conversate, Killer Mike, Cutmaster Swiff, and Bear sit down with two of the most important architects in music history, Sleepy Brown and Ray Murray of Organized Noise.


    This conversation goes far beyond hit records. Sleepy and Ray break down how Atlanta developed its own sound by blending soul, funk, live instrumentation, and hip hop when the city was still considered an outsider. They reflect on shaping the music of Outkast, Goodie Mob, TLC, and countless others while building a culture rooted in community, collaboration, and pride rather than competition.


    The episode explores mentorship from legends like Curtis Mayfield, the importance of soul music in Southern hip hop, and why Atlanta was always more than a city. It was an idea. From talent shows and strip club politics to Grammy moments and generational legacy, this is a rare oral history of how a movement was built from the ground up.


    This is Atlanta told by the people who made it what it is.
