Today, Washington-born, L.A.-based singer, rapper and producer Reo Cragun debuts an angst-ridden anthem “My Life.” Produced by Jeremy Lloyd from electronic duo Marian Hill, the song is featured on Cragun’s upcoming album Diary Of A Loner releasing May 20.

Cragun explains, “‘My Life’ is a depiction of the thoughts I was having last year. A lot of times I’m my own worst critic, and this song was a way of putting those thoughts on record. I’ve received many blessings within my life, but often I feel burdened to chase the next. It’s a constant battle I face, and it’s tied to the instinct I have to grow as a human being. Unfortunately, I’m unfair towards myself and that’s why the song is summarized with the lyrics “my life’s all messed up.”

Diary Of A Loner is inspired by life experiences that transformed Cragun while touring and surviving as an independent artist in music. “My Life” follows lead single “Just My Luck” that landed on playlists on both Spotify and Amazon. Check out the self-directed music video released alongside the track below.
