Slaughterhouse may be done but that’s not stopping KXNG Crooked and Joell Ortiz from collaborating. The former members of the defunct supergroup have teamed up for a new EP titled H.A.R.D.
“This H.A.R.D. project is an audio painting from me and my brother Crook,” Ortiz said in a press release. “We share similar stories in both life and the music business. The common denominator being the struggle … I suggest you put on your headphones and close your eyes for this one.”
The veteran duo’s eight-track project comes to fans courtesy of Mello Music Group. Production is handled by Erick Sermon, Apollo Brown, J.U.S.T.I.C.E. League, Illmind, Boogeyman and the Heatmakerz.

Nobody tryna hear these corny niggas Overrap corny bars about how hard being corny is lol. Loser rap
Yeah, sometimes not dumbing it down just seems a bit corny I guess . Have fun listening to whatever illiterate moron you mindlessly nod your head to!
Yea I enjoy music that makes me feel good not screw faced baggy jean I hate my life rap lol Foh. Shit is trash
You little depressing fucker. I bet you didn’t even listen to the whole thing. You like gay niggas that under rap horrible bars. Dumb it down ass nigga.
Damn… no Future , Drake , Nicki , Cardi , or Tekashi collabos on this ?!?!? This is gonna be super trash… not worthy of my super knowledgeable ears. Not gonna even bother listening to this.
Yeah you forgot ja rule!
Right I’m saying not even dj khaled or nothing, where the fuck is migos? Smh
Yes pls
Ok… so i Really cant stand that f…… uptempo snare in every god damn song Coming out. I love theese guys but they need to be spitting over beats like the wolves track and leave the other shit to mumble rappers. Get some Hard westcoast beats like 2001 and slow it down..
Couldn’t have said it better myself.
You sound salty as fuck fyi NOT all songs need to be hard there social justice warrior
Well im just from an era where rappers told stories, and i Know my man crook can Tell a story. So when i hear this i am absolutly impressed by their skills as rappers, i just wouldnt chill og party to this.. Crook is a westcoast legend but imo he flows Better on the bangers..
its about time listening to real mind of a black men knowledge after knowledge thank you Kxng and Otiz ??
Who asked for this lyrical miracle BS. The dude might as well swallow a dictionary. Making music, rap for that matter, is more than stringing together a bunch complex word together. You must have top not production, goog melody/harmony, some soul, and great subject matter. I rather listen to mumble rap than this hogwash. At least they make enjoyable music
You’re just an idiot.
I thought ja rule was gonna be on this? Wtf happened?
This whole thread is trolling…. I sincerely hope.
Any info on vinyl, cassette or floppy release? I don’t have an MP3 player!
Can’t wait to check out the project
Joell is really trash now
Sounds on point to me
