You might know Craig Xen from the late cult anti-hero XXXTENTACION’s Members Only crew—or from his arguably cooler rumoured claim to rap lore as DJ Screw’s nephew. Both affiliations come through on his short, sombre Broken Kids Club EP, on which the Houston rapper’s delivery ranges from mosh-pit-ready punk raps to slow, woozy melodies. Xen wears his voice ragged on the bruised, blown-out “Run It Back!”, but for most of the EP, he’s straight-up heartbroken. On “Cry Baby, Cell 17”, he’s trying and failing to cope with the loss of his friends, singing over grungy acoustic guitar, “Didn’t know that I’d have to die to see 'em again.”
