Rapper Killer Mike is still beaming over his appearance on “The Late Show with David Letterman” this week. The critically-acclaimed Atlanta rhymer says that his getting the gig was a result of Letterman’s booking agent, who is a fan.

“His booker is a wonderful woman, she loves rap music and ‘Untitled’ was her favorite record,” Mike told SOHH. “And I’m the lucky bastard that made it. It’s that simple. I appreciated her for booking me and I appreciate Dave for giving me the OK. It was actually pretty dope. Letterman was a lot of pressure because that’s what I used to watch with my grandpa. God rest the dead, I know he was somewhere watching. I was really nervous. I’m going to be really nervous [when the day comes and] I do Leno because I want to see his cars [collection]. [laughs]”
