He also suggests Drake should be on XXL’s Freshman list, details meeting ScHoolboy Q, and counters Waka Flocka’s claims that “clever rap is over.”
KXNG CROOKED gave HipHopDX the exclusive announcement for his upcoming album, Good vs. Evil. The project is a commentary of today’s politics, police relations and more. It is set to drop in August.
“I think we need to have some more conversations than Hip Hop,” the Slaughterhouse member says, “some more political conversations, some more conversations about police, the relationship between the community and the police, more conversations about politicians and their pandering and what they will really do and conversations about laws that are really just designed to attack the inner city and the minorities. I think it’s time to start having those conversations. So this album is for the grown up people and I think it’s going to shake a few things up because it’s raw and edgy. It’s unapologetic.”
