I am now entering the chapter of love and light.” KILLSHOT 2 was written by Dax and produced by LexNour. The video was directed by Logan Meis, who’s directed videos for Trippie Red, Trevor Daniel, and Social House, and who has served as cinematographer on many more. Full KILLSHOT 2 lyrics HERE.

This cat is leaving no doubt he’s up next. He consistantly drops lyrical missiles that are deadbang on target leaving nothing standing in his way. ~ JD
