YFN Lucci was denied bond and his alleged role in the fatal shooting for which he stands charged with murder and gang activity was revealed in court today, according to The Atlanta Journal-Constitution. Lucci, whose real name is Rayshawn Bennett, is accused of driving three associates to a rival gang’s turf and firing on them.

One of the targets, a 32-year-old was struck in the abdomen but sought assistance at a fire station nearby and survived his injuries. However, Lucci’s alleged companion wasn’t so lucky. 28-year-old James Adams was hit in the head by return fire and police say he was “manually ejected” and left on the street, where police found him as they responded to the shooting report.

Lucci turned himself in on Wednesday after police announced they were seeking him in connection with the shooting. Around the same time as the announcement, Lucci released his music video for “Rolled On” featuring Mozzy, prompting some amusement from fans that he would be focused on promoting new music while supposedly on the run.

The rapper has been charged with murder, aggravated assault, participating in criminal street gang activity, and possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony. He appeared in court virtually from the Fulton County jail. His attorney Drew Findling maintained his innocence to the Journal-Constitution, saying, “Our review of the initial evidence made available to us indicates there is no basis for any criminal charges against Rayshawn Bennett. We will continue our own independent investigation on his behalf.”

Jeff Hodges speaks in a natural, authentic voice. His tone is warm, measured, and full of feeling.

The song is about peace, gratitude, and finding meaning in the ordinary.

It’s a song that just asks us to slow down, breathe, and remember what’s important.

With “CLAIM IT ALL,” X-ANONYMOUS takes us on a dark journey through control, chaos, and rebirth

X-ANONYMOUS is back with a blistering new release, “CLAIM IT ALL,“ a hard rock and metalcore smackdown that takes intensity, emotion, and aggression and blasts them into a tightly controlled tempest of sound. It is a combination of guitar riffs, industrial textures, and unrelenting rhythmic drive.

It explodes, launching you into a fractured psychological space where the self is always challenged and reinvented. “CLAIM IT ALL” is about the struggle between self-control and external control. The song encapsulates the crushing burden of manipulation and coercion, creating a terrain in which the mind is a battleground. Every change appears to have a reason, mirroring a spiral into internal chaos and the attempt to slowly regain individual strength.

There’s an emotional undercurrent that suggests awakening, and it tempers the aggression of the instrumentation. It is as though a constant tug and pull exists between collapse and control, as if the track itself were trying to get away from its own limitations. X-ANONYMOUS’s powerful statement is bold, unfiltered, and unafraid to face the darkness to rise above it. “CLAIM IT ALL“ It’s a reminder of how identity always fights back when it’s repressed.
