I think it’s safe to say, if you’re a juggalo or an underground music fan, that you read/saw/heard the news about Playboy The Beast yesterday. If you have no idea what I’m talking about, you can read our coverage right here.

Well, in the wake of all the controversy, Lex Lethal has presumably assumed management/control of Murder Musick. In a Facebook update posted on the Murder Musick page, Lex talks about the huge blow dealt to the label with it’s separation from the political as well as it’s reputation and following that was being built with the politics associated with Playboy The Beast

Lex also mentions the separation of the political from the label and it’s artists, noting that all of the artists fall on different parts of the political spectrum.

As the post continues, he notes that Murder Musick was never about the politics, and that it will be returning to it’s roots as an underground label.

Here’s the full post from the Murder Musick page:

So it’s on me.

For those of you who don’t know me, my name is Lex Lethal. I was recruited in october of 2020, and have dedicated myself to this movement since then.

Although the political opinions never sat well together, we never let it stand in our way.

My passion for this movement was noted by each member, and my drive only got stronger to push us forward.

We took a huge blow recently to our roster with our separation from the political, as well as the implications of the attachment that was inadvertently being built.

That is NOT what Murder Musick is about. That should have been evident in the presence of liberals, conservatives and my own anarchist viewpoint. We ARE NOT a political movement. We are a musical movement.

So it’s a new era. And it’s time to take this shit back to what it was. A movement OF the Underground, FOR the underground.

No, we are NOT horrorcore artists. We speak our own truths. We show respect, we support each other, and we support the aid and growth of the underground.

I have been trusted by those who departed to keep the movement alive. For all of you with MM4L inked on your skin. For those who are ride or die.

I hope to have your support in this new chapter in our story.

I will not let you down.

We’re not entirely sure what this all means, but it seems fair to assume that Lex Lethal has taken over all duties of running Murder Musick, and Playboy The Beast is completely out. Only time will tell if Murder Musick can make it passed the political drama that has loomed over the label for awhile now. Either way, we’re excited to see what they can do!
