Mick Jenkins and Supa BWE collaborate on "Treat Me (Caucasian)," a song that tackles the issue of white privilege with brute force. It starts with the chorus, which goes, "Treat me Caucasian/Come out them benefits." Both Mick and BWE make references to specific examples of racial prejudice in America's judicial system, such as the shootings of Trayvon Martin and Jordan Davis. The hunger in Mick's voice is palpable in the second verse as he rattles off a list of demands ranging from fresh produce to connections at Yale. "I'm tall as fuck/They still look down on the boy even though they still gotta look up," he says.

"Treat Me (Caucasian)," produced by Supa BWE and Mulatto Beats, will appear on the Hurt Everybody EP which drops next week. Hurt Everybody is a Chicago group that is comprised of BWE, Mulatto, and Long Live Carl.
