About
The Bad Guy Chronicles is the third studio album from american independent rapper John Anthony, under his record label Villainous Records.
The album was released on June 27, 2020 through Villainous Records and Chaos Music Distribution. The album was released unexpectedly, with no marketing or promotion released beforehand. The album featured twenty tracks and a two-sided genre of hip-hop music with both styles of rap, ranging in boom bap/alternative and trap/alternative.
The album was heavily promoted and was gave a much more edgier and aggressive aspect from John, something that we really haven't heard. The album received tons of views by both fans, producers, journalists, A&R reps and even other rappers. Upon these views, it quickly became a battering piece as people would ridicule and downgrade the album due to it's lyrical content and sound. It was labeled at times by many as homophopbic, misogynistic and sexist in some cases.
It captured the attention of certain smaller records labels but ultimately would be turned down not more because it was too much compared to an earlier 2000's Eminem, which hurt the outcome or any chance of a label's interest. John Anthony paired up with Chaos Music Distribution in July 2020 to help distribute and promote his music. He paired with Level Music Distribution a few before which has helped to get his music on big music platforms. The album sold less in copies, of around 15-20 CD's in first month, but sold more in streams.
The Expanded Version was allegedly suppose to drop a year later for its 1-year anniversary on June 27, 2021 and feature 5 bonus tracks that were cut, but it never materialized.

About
Four Forty Four EP is the first project released by American independent rapper John Anthony under his record label Villainous Records.
The EP was released on March 4, 2018 through RYG Records, along hit single Hell on Earth (Freestyle), a remix track by hip hop duo Mobb Deep. The EP dropped on YouTube and SoundCloud but failed to gain any attention upon release and was eventually taken down a few months later. It re-released a year later on July 21st, 2019 as part of the first project under the newly created Villainous Records.
The label would be the promotional and distribution label for John's music. Over 60% of the lyrics to Hell on Earth (Freestyle) were changed. More lyrics were added to the new freestyle, which ended up gaining some attention that the previous 2018 release failed at. The track's re-release shown off the skills of John's writing and creativity. From his lyrical penmanship to subliminal disses and puns, this gained both positive and negative feedback.
A few artists and producers gave their takes on the track. People such as DJ and Producer Louis Flores, better know as Breakbeat Lou, Hip Hop artist and member of rap group D12; Bizarre and Tommy Coster who is a 2X Grammy winner and co-songwritter for The Slim Shady LP. Those are just a few names who gave their feedback on the track. John would then re-release an older three-track EP in 2019 on streaming services entitled Four Forty Four EP, which originally dropped on March 4th, 2018 and featured the newly published Hell on Earth (Freestyle) and two others. Upon release in 2019, many people compared John's flow and sound to a young Slim Shady.
