Atlanta’s Killer Mike ‘Trigger Warning’ Debuts Jan. 19 in Netflix

Michael Render is at it again. The bold Atlanta rapper known to millions of music fans as Killer Mike is poised to bring us a new Netflix series as provocative as they come.

“Trigger Warning With Killer Mike” is a new Netflix original series that shows the Grammy award-winning rapper and activist digging in at the system of white supremacy and confronting stereotypes about African-Americans.

Atlanta’s Killer Mike debuts new Netflix show ‘Trigger Warning’

In a statement, Killer Mike said this about the show: “Trigger Warning is 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.”

With “Trigger Warning,” Killer Mike, one of Atlanta’s favorite rappers brings us a show that challenges our concept of freedom for all. The show debuts on Netflix on January 18, 2019.

The concept behind the show is “revolutionary ideas.” Killer Mike is out to show America, especially politicians (of one he is a very big fan) that the only way you can effect real social change in America through revolutionary ideas.

Those concepts include a Crip-oriented Cola. Or the inclusion of a white Jesus on Sundays. And so on.

Edgey enough for ya? Don’t think so. Run the JewelsClip!

Killer Mike is well known in Atlanta as being a charter member of the Dungeon Family rap outfit that birthed Outkast and other local rap hits.

Atlanta’s Killer Mike is currently one-half of the rap duo Run the Jewels.
