Killer Mike’s Grind National
BUILT REGAL – Episode 1
Hemmings (magazine) is assisting in the build. They say:
“When the opportunity arose for Hemmings to help fulfill three-time Grammy award-winning rap artist Michael Render’s, aka “Killer Mike” wish of owning his dream car, we had to seize the chance. You see Mike has been a devoted fan of the iconic Buick Grand National since his childhood in the 1980s. However, amidst a life brimming with family, music, and community, his aspiration to make this dream a reality had to be put on hold.
Then, in early December of 2023, the stars aligned in the automotive realm, and a plan was set in motion to create Mike’s dream car with the specific goal of having it ready for him to drive to the 2024 Grammy Awards. With the collaboration of industry insiders and an exceptional team of designers and fabricators, we successfully turned Mike’s vision into reality.
Welcome to the story of Killer Mike’s Grind National!”
