Slaughterhouse member KXNG Crooked has announced next month's release of a concept album called Good Vs. Evil. "Alternative Reality. Government Corruption. Citizens Revolt. Shit Happens," he explained on Twitter.
Yesterday he released, "Shoot Back (Dear Officer)," the first song from the album, in which he argues that an unwillingness to fight injustice is tantamount to successful completion of the "hoe test."
“I’m the type of person who feels other people’s pain more than average," he told XXL. "I’ve been that way my whole life. It’s a gift and a curse. With Good vs. Evil I decided to create a world where the victims of police brutality, government corruption and class discrimination fought back; but not through silent protest—but through violent protest. Sometimes you have to shake people up and shock them into paying attention. Imagine if Mike Brown, or Philando Castile survived the officers shooting them and went straight to the studio to record an album. What would they say? How wouldn’t they feel?”
Give "Shoot Back" a listen and pre-order the album on iTunes.
Quotable Lyrics
Them robocops just tear-gassed a protest
And you don't wanna fight back
Congratulations, my nigga, you passed the hoe test
Just another male in need of some Kotex
You'll be fitted for the rope next
They gon' hang you up just like coat checks
