Killer Mike enlisted Robert Glasper and Eryn Allen Kane for his Tonight Show performance of the poignant “Motherless,” off his 2023 album Michael.

The rendition was dedicated to Druzella Denise Clonts a.k.a. OG Mama Niecy and Kim Yvette Glasper, the late mothers of Killer Mike and Glasper, with the Tonight Show stage set up like the trio was performing at a memorial.

“When I tell the story of my mother the tales told include one when I walked in on her attempting to take her own life it gets to the heart of how deeply sensitive an artist and human she was,” Killer Mike previously said n a statement when he unveiled the song on Mother’s Day. “She survived, was diagnosed bi-polar and depressed; she fought that until the day she died.”
