Mic Terror • I Don't Call Cops
Mic Terror knows what time it is, and certainly wasn't born yesterday. The silver-tongued lyrical muscle behind Treated Crew has been known to spit fire, and can take care of himself, thank you very much. Now he's dropped "I Don't Call The Cops", and is taking on the heavy topic of police abuse, misconduct and general incompetence. It's a serious and very real subject matter that Mic Terror approaches with some well executed levity. Nobody applies rap swag to the humdrum of day-to-day life like Treated Crew, and few can wordsmith it up like Mic Terror. Produced by Akonixx, the beat is a cascade of strings and subs, weeping violins that recognize the tears behind these words. For all the good humored braggadocio, it's pretty freakin' sad that this is an honest problem citizens of Chicago have.
On a related note, today is the day to vote! The dubious Anita Alvarez is up for re-election. Just sayin'.
