In this exclusive message, Grammy-winning artist, activist, and proud Atlantan Killer Mike welcomes the world to the city he calls home — a place where culture, history, innovation, and hospitality collide. As one of the host cities for FIFA World Cup 26™, Atlanta is preparing to deliver unforgettable moments both on and off the pitch.

From the vibrant neighborhoods and legendary music scene to cutting-edge development and Southern charm, Killer Mike shares why Atlanta is more than just a city — it’s an experience. With eight matches, including a semi-final, Atlanta will be a centerpiece of the world’s biggest sporting event.

Check out the video.
