Killer Mike

**Mario appears in three episodes of the Netflix show called,Trigger Warning with Killer Mike, which are called: "White gang Privilege", "Outside the box", and "Kill Your Master". Mario's involvement in the show evolves as Mike includes him in the social experiments that each episode explores.

"White Gang Privilege"

In this episode, Mario is first introduced as one of the test subjects for the Crip-a-Cola beverage brand created by Crips with the help of Killer Mike as a way for them to monetize on their name the same way the Hells Angels have for the past decades in the U.S. Mario is very open about his opinion regarding the beverage which leads Killer Mike to call him a "Racist".

In the episode, Mario also goes on to share with Killer Mike, openly, and in front of the rest of the test subjects, a conceptual song he wrote called "In a box".

"Outside The Box"

Killer Mike mentions Mario on The Breakfast Club.

In this episode, Killer Mike brings together people of diverse backgrounds to work together on a song.

Some of the people involved identify as different identities such as: Juggalos; Donald Trump-Right-wing-Alt-right-supporters; an Albino Black Lives Matter activist; and many others. Mario is among the contestants who makes it to the final round of recording a song based on Mario's original song and concept of being outside the box yet still being inside of the box. Mario's original song was taken by Killer Mike and mixed with the help of his team to allow many verses to enter the song. After the final contestants come together to record their verses in the song, Mario becomes dissatisfied with the end results.

"Kill Your Master"

In the final episode of the show, Killer Mike decides to create his own country called, "New Africa", and brings several of the participants from previous episodes to be a part of the social experiment of building a new country.

Mario is one of the participants who returns.

Throughout the show, Mario constantly deviates from the group and doesn't conform with the choices that are often collectively voted on by the rest of the participants.

In one of the segments he refuses to walk in a single file line so the participants decide to follow his lead which causes Mario to argue about what it mens to be a person no one should follow.

Later in the episode, Mario performs the national anthem he wrote for "New Africa" which leads Killer Mike to criticize the song and admit it makes him hate the word "Africa".

In an interview, Killer Mike says the following about Mario's involvement in the show:

"I learned that people can be allies in unsuspecting circumstances.

If you think of a person like Mario [one of the recurring cast members on “Trigger Warning,” appearing first in a focus group for Crip-a-Cola]—who really is himself, not a character.

Mario is as wild and dramatic and passionate as he is on screen and off.

I met him and honestly just thought this kid was an asshole.

He’s the only brown person in the room and he’s hurting my homie’s feelings.

But as time progresses, and we get to the sixth episode, what I really started to view Mario as, in retrospect, is a person who refuses to bend his individuality for greater rules of comfortability for everyone else.

He was willing to assert his individuality."

Personal Life

Mario lives and works in the city of Atlanta.

He is of Hispanic/Latino background.
