John Keenan

John Keenan is an independent hip-hop artist and producer from Kansas who has built his career completely outside the industry system. His new album, Wreckage of the Past (2025), is an 18-track self-produced project that blends raw honesty, political critique, and unorthodox production — slap bass, classical motifs, disco grooves, and more. Songs like “Letter to the President” call out corruption, while “Refining My Pages” tells the story of growing up an outsider in Kansas before rap felt possible. Keenan’s catalog spans Where I Went Wrong, Late Bloomer, Illusion of Logic, and Mind of a Madman I & II, each marking a step in a two-decade journey. Along the way, he’s crossed paths with names like Layzie Bone, X-Raided, Krizz Kaliko, Whitney Peyton, and Twisted Insane, though independence remains the core of his identity. Beyond music, he authored Play God, End Up Jesus and produces films through Half Square Films. Subscribe for music, visuals, and unfiltered storytelling.
