If you haven’t seen this trailer, you are about to be presently surprised. In a world of copycat content and entertainment, Killer Mike is dropping some unique content in a way that many of us haven’t seen before. The first 20 seconds consists of Killer Mike explaining to a stripper, who looks to be of Asian descent, that he’s only spending his money with the black community for the next three days, so YOU AIN’T BLACK. The stripper looks at him, and appears to be shocked, but even with this shocking, eyebrow raising, cynical content, there already seems to be a strong point he’s trying to make with this series.

Killer Mike’s plan to tackle taboos in this six-episode series it the type of reality/docuseries television needs right now. In a statement, Killer Mike, who’s real name is Michael Santiago Render said :

Trigger Warningis about examining cultural taboos and giving viewers the space to examine the “what ifs” and “why nots” that limit how some people move and operate in the world. In six episodes, we explore the human condition using nontraditional approaches. Not everyone will agree with my methods (and some of what we’re putting out is fucking crazy), but this show is about embracing your freedom to challenge societal expectations and conformity. This show is if an anarchist determined the status quo.”
