God, I told myself these are the words I’d never say.
I’m my own worst opponent, and it hurts in every way.
You ever thought about smashing the mirrors in the house,
So you don’t have to see the same person that hurts you everyday?
I have.
– Kxng Crooked

Deep right from the start… Maaan, when we got wind of this a couple of months back we told you here the vid would be deep, too!

Kxng Crooked (of Slaughterhouse) opens up about alcoholism, depression and suicide in his brand new music video. The demo version of the audio to “Don’t Close Your Eyes (Ashamed)” dropped earlier commemorating the birthday of the late Keith Whitley. This is the official version produced by Jonathan Hay and Ajami (linked below). The single will appear on the forthcoming LP – “The Urban Hitchcock” LP – due out October 5, 2015.

“I’ve been in several dark places in my life, betrayed by those closest to me, or feelings of hopelessness in situations I can’t control, or even others trying to remove me from this earth. It takes its toll. I have to rise above and keep moving forward for myself and my loved ones. I like to meditate and read a lot so that helps. Music is my ultimate medicine, though.”

Much better therapy, Kxng. Respect.
