Listen [**HERE**](https://lnk.to/GhettoPsycho). On this 24-track epic, the Omaha spitter wages a lyrical war against a broken system, which has left behind millions of people around the world. He tackles the ripple effects of poverty, splintering into addiction, mental health, violence, and hopelessness. At the same time, he breaks down the walls and allows light to shine through in the form of clever humor and a constant reminder that life can and will get better. This is hip-hop at its most poignant, pure, and potent. This is the album **Iso** was always meant to make—so he not only rapped on every song, but he also produced the entirety of the project. This is **_Ghetto Psycho_**. About the record, he commented,_“There are things that happened to people growing up in my community and similar communities. A lot of individuals wind up getting involved in gangs, hustling, or abusing drugs. These things happen when you’re in the ghetto, but it’s not limited to our ghetto. It could be overseas in a third- world country or in a trailer park. _ _“We need to have conversations about these traumatic experiences, leading to healing rather than accepting them as the norm. What makes you go crazy? You may go through a mental health crisis, but you’re told it’s normal. It shouldn’t be normal to see fentanyl overdoses, so many shootings, and people dying on Instagram. This shit has created a whole bunch of_ **_Ghetto Psychos_** _who don’t know they’re hurting. I’m getting to the root of the problem_._”_ Among many highlights, the single **“Crash Out” **[feat. **E-40**] brings the Bay Area to the Midwest! A rumbling bassline thumps through 808s as an automobile alert chirps. **Iso** and **E-40** lock into a bold and highly quotable back-and-forth punctuated by the latter’s undeniably true observation, _“They don’t make ‘em like me no more!”_ It’s as hypnotic as it is hard-hitting. ![A person with tattoos and suspenders Description automatically generated](https:// mail.google.com/mail/u/1?ui=2&ik=c563ab4b31&attid=0.1&permmsgid=msg-f:1843068938709621305& th=1993e56f4c57da39&view=fimg&fur=ip&permmsgid=msg-f:1843068938709621305&sz=s0-l75- ft&attbid=ANGjdJ8_C7MzHj7EHukUCKRtL9WJ5_ilEbYpj4TKkBP130HnEdIiyqoFItL_NfquC1146qBQdpHzHV5w0wXvciF2r3Z7rWhqDxdrKsULsXpMekcC_7QOxQKqPGnx2Js& disp=emb&realattid=ii_mffybycr1&zw) Photo Credit: Darryl Woods A cinematic music video for “Crash Out” is in the works to accompany the track this fall. King Iso recently teased the album with **“Normal**.**” **The latter has impressively collected nearly 1 Milion YouTube views on its heart-wrenching music video in barely a month’s time. It also garnered looks from [_Hip Hop Over Everything_](https://www.hiphopovereverything.com/post/king-iso-opens-up-on-introspective-new-single-and-music-video-normal) and others. To cap off a busy year, **Iso** will support **Tech N9ne** on a string of tour dates in December. Check out the full confirmed itinerary below. He bulldozed the way for **_Ghetto Psycho_** with **“Concrete Box Spring” **[feat.** Don Trip**] and **“Beat Box**.**” **The [music video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aNY_Z-uQNJg&list=RDaNY_Z-uQNJg&start_radio=1) for the latter reeled in over 658K YouTube views, while the song eclipsed 227K Spotify streams. [_VIBE_](https://www.vibe.com/lists/lil-wayne-little-simz-sada-baby-and-other-new-hip-hop-releases-for-your-weekend-groove/) also plugged it on _“New Hip-Hop Releases For Your Weekend Groove_._” _Prior, he served up **“Hell’s Architect”** with **Matt Phoenix**. The latter is nearing 125K streams already in addition to receiving looks from [_I’M MUSIC MAGAZINE_](https://im-musicmagazine.com/f/king-iso-releases-insidious-introspective-new-single-hells-architect-w-matt-phoenix/) and more.

He isn’t afraid to speak his mind, tell his story, make people a little uncomfortable with his honesty, or body any beat in his path. By projecting such fearlessness, he challenges everyone to grow with him. He already knows where he’s been and who he is, but he’s really creating who he will be _(and how he’ll be remembered)_ via his music. With a rough childhood, stints in the hospital, seasons of homelessness, addiction, and suicide attempts in the rearview, he pushes forward out of the darkness and ignites his own light as a Gold- certified rapper, producer, and entrepreneur. That light only grows brighter on his seventh full-length LP, **_Ghetto Psycho_**[** Strange Music**]. Rising up out of Omaha, he has steeled his nerves and vision to make this kind of statement. You can follow his quiet rise across **_World War Me_** [2020], **_Get Well Soon_** [2022], and **_iLLdren_** [2023]—hailed by Kansas City’s _The Pitch_ as _“his most personal endeavor so far_._”_  He punctured the mainstream by appearing on one of the most successful independent rap songs in history, **“Face Off”** with **Tech N9ne**, **Joey Cool**, and **Dwayne Johnson**. The Gold-certified anthem has generated over 215 million Spotify streams. Additionally, he produced **Tech N9ne**’s **“Red Kingdom**,**”** which has surpassed 57 million Spotify streams and achieved Platinum status. He has additionally received acclaim from _VIBE_, _Rolling Out_, _V13_, _Music Existence_,_ AllHipHop_,_ HotNewHipHop_, _Rock The Bells_,and others. He cuts deeper than ever in 2025 though. Not unlike Patrick Bateman, he makes a deep incision in the guts of the culture, reaches in, and pulls out a raw truth that’s bloodied, brutal, and beautiful from** _Ghetto Psycho_**. **Social Media:** [**Instagram**](https://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001o72gLfXr7nhm4PwQtwGhk7ZPTnydFi5cbetQBRtTM6_k8pXoshbN4BBfQbxQQoB1_-97z-zr433GYy4__lTU1rVD8W4i6VcTJQRD1mKy7te7hyu6aaMNuMIJKZKNB_xykbxB6ppmwlD0LLbocg2E2Zxp3OGal6qe7ZeERzTlYw0=&c=XU6uPoabJGDRoiCSmCL4zCxEogVGThFUDTdh15YGPdtyCbsOnb5tDg==&ch=hH0Hs2pPwgzyd8y_0Tsv5PF-izx9Gs3-Dqy16fBkPiAtS1ePX65PHA==) | [**Facebook**](https://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001o72gLfXr7nhm4PwQtwGhk7ZPTnydFi5cbetQBRtTM6_k8pXoshbN4BBfQbxQQoB1uGZlDvfPrPRicnPZB1vzF5an8GQ6m1LJYWQoRdrB37ZXZoCH81tU5bcEeoi6VJIh-w4Arn9k5NBHl8vO-TST22hvYWQk6iG0xEGxrdDq05Q=&c=XU6uPoabJGDRoiCSmCL4zCxEogVGThFUDTdh15YGPdtyCbsOnb5tDg==&ch=hH0Hs2pPwgzyd8y_0Tsv5PF-izx9Gs3-Dqy16fBkPiAtS1ePX65PHA==) | [**TikTok**](https://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001zFlMZ8YS7kadjCI51tmeTwkwRjLs5TcnfTkvp80S7maQS9eO-V8I7fU94qIboq_m1U1yMO81UNAGdWRILrSK8AY4tIYQkJU4Tzjm1OBaYMQPv8X-DQeJwZvlJWuXqWtKYN5ZNv8AE7WGdr7NmzgAKjCHfDkDQ-K4a1clueIzEdg=&c=zXL-w7UcEGX3pnkeVMTrnhT6IJoSgicGK5Hs8mT38Jpt81AOc3ERGw==&ch=7PwIEUVvn4tj1o35jWLaQJKZK1fh5MWryOdjuxioB5pYO_MXj-2AMw==) | [**Twitter**](https://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001o72gLfXr7nhm4PwQtwGhk7ZPTnydFi5cbetQBRtTM6_k8pXoshbN4BBfQbxQQoB1ksvTndKbQ3owRjVfcMKtqdu_QEzyzAD8ku8MjwcC62B6pc_ap2glzbdP8dQ7YSLsUsrURbl9OS4feaBR4JGyp_sJzbl472vg&c=XU6uPoabJGDRoiCSmCL4zCxEogVGThFUDTdh15YGPdtyCbsOnb5tDg==&ch=hH0Hs2pPwgzyd8y_0Tsv5PF-izx9Gs3-Dqy16fBkPiAtS1ePX65PHA==) [⌊Strange Music⌉⌊Strange Music⌉[ [⌊Earshot Media⌉⌊Earshot Media⌉[ ### Share this: * [ Facebook ](https://www.nyrdcast.com/king-iso-holds-nothing-back-on-new-album-ghetto-psycho/?share=facebook) * [ X ](https://www.nyrdcast.com/king-iso-holds-nothing-back-on-new-album-ghetto-psycho/?share=x) * [ Email ](https://www.nyrdcast.com/king-iso-holds-nothing-back-on-new-album-ghetto-psycho/?subject=%5BShared%20Post%5D%20KING%20ISO%20Holds%20Nothing%20Back%20On%20New%20Album%20%27Ghetto%20Psycho%27&body=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.nyrdcast.com%2Fking-iso-holds-nothing-back-on-new-album-ghetto-psycho%2F&share=email) * [ LinkedIn ](https://www.nyrdcast.com/king-iso-holds-nothing-back-on-new-album-ghetto-psycho/?share=linkedin) * [ Mastodon ](https://www.nyrdcast.com/king-iso-holds-nothing-back-on-new-album-ghetto-psycho/?share=mastodon) * [ Nextdoor ](https://www.nyrdcast.com/king-iso-holds-nothing-back-on-new-album-ghetto-psycho/?share=nextdoor) * [ Pinterest ](https://www.nyrdcast.com/king-iso-holds-nothing-back-on-new-album-ghetto-psycho/?share=pinterest) * [ Reddit ](https://www.nyrdcast.com/king-iso-holds-nothing-back-on-new-album-ghetto-psycho/?share=reddit) * [ Tumblr ](https://www.nyrdcast.com/king-iso-holds-nothing-back-on-new-album-ghetto-psycho/?share=tumblr) ### Like this: Like Loading… ### _Related_
