Released on June 19th, 2019, Broken Kids Club, is Craig Xen's first studio project.

In less than a month the project has generated more than 10 million plays across streaming platforms and earned support from prominent media including XXL, Complex, Notion Magazine, HotNewHipHop and many more. In a recent letter to his fans, Craig said, "the past 2 years of my life have been spent exploring in search of my serenity... I've been expressing and tapping into some of the most vulnerable and uncomfortable sides of myself that I was too afraid to express before. Broken Kids Club reminds us that we're understood and welcome somewhere free of judgement -and for most of us that's all we've been looking for." The EP features collaborations with xxTENTACION, Smokepurpp, Ski Mask the Slump God and Flyboy Tarrantino, as well as production from Stain, DJ Patt, King Yosef, GVLLOW, Shepard Sounds, Stevie Hardy, and Craig Xen himself.

Craig Xen, born Craig Gordwin, grew up in Houston Texas, where he created a unique underground sound, mixing rock & roll and hip hop through collaborations with the likes of xxTENTACION, Lil Peep, $UICIDEBOY$, Ski Mask the Slump God and many more. Growing up in a tumultuous household, Craig put his pain and personal life experiences into his music. After a stint in rehab, Craig began to take music seriously, creating Schemaposse with Lil Peep, and later joining the Florida supergroup Members Only. As Craig's music grew, so did his cult fanbase, which gained him the respect of many and lead to tours with xxTENTACION, Ski Mask the Slump God, $UICIDEBOY$ and more. Craig is part of Members Only, and following the release of Members Only, Vol.3 and his 2017 mixtape Hell Bent, Craig joined the rest of the group in working on Members Only, Vol.4, an ode to their fallen leader xxTENTACION. The project hit #18 on Billboard off of only 2 days of sales, selling to date over 250K copies. These milestones positioned Craig as one of the most exciting acts to watch. Now with the release of Broken Kids Club and a full length debut album on the way, Craig Xen is set make an influential mark on today's youth culture and music landscape.
