KXNG Crooked and Joell Ortiz reunite on their anticipated collaborative effort "H.A.R.D."

We may not see Slaughterhouse reunite anytime soon, but KXNG Crooked and Joell Ortiz are still out here spitting "H.A.R.D." bars. Earlier this month, the two-fourths of Slaughterhouse announced that they'd be releasing a collaborative project, and fans were more than excited at the very idea. On Friday (May 29) the pair of emcees delivered, and it was well worth the wait.

“'We met each other on a magazine cover.. It’s like God told us we had to be brothers..' - @kxngcrooked," Joell wrote the caption of the album's announcement. "Perfect way to set off our 'H.A.R.D' EP dropping 5/29 !!!! Pre-order link in bio. Yaowaaaa!!!" No pre-orders necessary now that you can stream the eight-track record in its entirety. Give "H.A.R.D." by KXNG Crooked and Joell Ortiz and few spins and share your thoughts.
