“Give some pussy to Thelonious, this kid is brilliant.”

It took 12 #TreatedTuesdays, but we finally get the “Formal Introduction” on Chicago’s Treated Crew.  The new record features Mic Terror, Nick Junior, Million $ Mano, Gzus Piece and Caleb James, who come through with a smooth and explanatory posse cut on one the Chi’s most formidable crews.  I thoroughly enjoy the record, especially the way Mic Terror cleverly weaves through the names of various Treated Crew members.  Stream the track below and you can also download the CDQ version of last week’s record, “KILLA”.

The photo is courtesy of Alexander Richter who spent a week in Chicago with us, documenting Chicago Hip Hop’s scene. One of the stop’s was Mano’s kitchen, where the crew worked on new music and did a proper photo shoot.  This is the first photo to be seen from the series.
