“ASSHOLES LIVE FOREVER” was born out of years of collaboration, mutual respect, and a shared vision between two of Tennessee’s most respected underground heavyweights, Extraordinaire and Crisis Tha Rhyme Don. After both appearing on the cover of Tha Hole magazine, highlighting the best rising talent out of Tennessee, the chemistry between them was undeniable. While an original group project under the “Tennessee Bad Boys” banner never fully materialized, the bond between the two artists only deepened, eventually evolving into this full-length, joint statement.
This album is a stand against conformity. It’s bold, raw, unfiltered, and unafraid to challenge the norms of today’s music scene. The title speaks to the duo’s fearless approach, unapologetic and uncompromising in their creative vision. By embracing their artistic truths, even if it means being labeled “assholes”, they crafted a body of work that represents not just where they are musically, but who they are personally.
Every track on the album is produced by Extraordinaire, creating a seamless sonic experience with continuity and character. This one-producer approach adds a deeper level of cohesion that makes the album feel like a unified force, rather than a playlist of individual songs.
This project has been in motion since the pandemic, beginning with early sessions in 2021 and stretching through 2023. The duo spent time traveling between Chattanooga and Nashville, building chemistry and refining their vision. By 2024, they were locked in, fully focused on bringing the album to life. The result is a record built with patience, intention, and purpose.
Both artists come from strong solo backgrounds. This album, however, marks a distinct shift as they channel that energy into a collaborative space. They pushed each other creatively, stepping into unfamiliar territories that neither might have explored alone. The growth is evident, from the lyrical content to the overall sonic depth.
Both Extraordinaire and Crisis Tha Rhyme Don are award-winning artists with long-standing reputations in the game. They’ve consistently been trailblazers for their respective hometowns, performing across the country and sharing stages with major industry names. Their resumes speak for themselves—but with ASSHOLES LIVE FOREVER, they add a powerful chapter to their already storied careers.
