KXNG Crooked Narrows Down The Suspect That “Killed” Slaughterhouse
The rise of Slaughterhouse was an interesting moment at the top of the 2010s. In the midst of this “new school of rappers” emerging (i.e. Kendrick, Drake, Cole, etc.), a bunch of underground rappers formed a lyrical supergroup that only Shady could house fittingly. Unfortunately, that wasn’t the case, and their attempt to receive mainstream recognition marked the beginning of their downfall as a collective.
Earlier today, KXNG Crooked took to Twitter with a hot take to stir the pot up on Monday, sharing his unpopular opinion on the Slaughterhouse single, “My Life” ft. Cee-Lo Green. “Idc what y’all say “My life” by Slaughterhouse was a good song,” he tweeted. The reception to the tweet was split with die-hards riding for Crook’s verse while many more doubled down on how underwhelming the song was.
“I finally figured out who killed Slaughterhouse all them years ago. 6 suspects got narrowed down to 1.. Cold case solved.. “My Life” did it.. And I luv that guy,” he tweeted.
Crook reminded one fan that it was a fan-favorite at shows, even going as far as he prefers it over the Swizz Beatz-produced, “Throw It Away.”
“Some of the hardest rap songs ever contain the same sample that was flipped in Throw It Away so I felt we should’ve did something darker and more gutter than what was done but I’m always open to follow someone else’s lead because I could be wrong,” he explained about his disdain over the “Throw It Away. “I think I was right that time.”

Firecamino maintains folk storytelling with new release “Juan The Baptist”
“Juan the Baptist” is a stunning single by Firecamino, blending vivid storytelling with charming melody. The laid-back indie song with folk and country influences sounds like an ancient story told around a campfire after a long night.
The song’s central character is a misguided hero, vulnerable and human. Firecamino emphasizes imperfection over perfection, creating a relatable protagonist. That storytelling gives the song a cinematic, intimate feel.
“Juan the Baptist” handles several musical influences well. Folk-inspired writing and country textures add emotion and familiarity. Meanwhile, the cool indie vibe smooths the edges and lets the track flow naturally without being dramatic.

Lisa Jo finds freedom in chaos, breaking the loop on new release “Runnin in Circles”
Lisa Jo’s latest single, “Runnin in Circles,” is a captivating look at spiritual surrender and emotional exhaustion. The song’s painful cycle of self-destruction and setbacks makes it personal but universally relatable. The song is for anyone who’s been stuck in their own patterns, trying to break free from repeating mistakes.
“Runnin in Circles” captures the emotional exhaustion of repeated rock bottoms. Lisa Jo vividly depicts inner conflict and self-sabotage becoming all too familiar and devastating. The song embraces the emotional wreckage of “burning your own house down,” which is raw and honest.
Evolution makes this record strong. “Runnin in Circles” slowly moves toward surrender and release instead of staying in the dark. Lisa Jo explores that difficult yet transformative moment when control passes to something greater. The spiritual element gives the song depth and resonates beyond heartbreak and frustration. The song’s messiness is lovely. Healing isn’t polished here. Lisa Jo accepts the hard truth of growth, the confusion, the setbacks, and the painful realization that change often happens after the emotional bottom falls out.
