Along with this fresh leak off Swollen Members’ upcoming album, Armed to the Teeth (October 13th), comes a special message from Mad Child.
It’s been a crazy few years for not only me, but also Swollen. I was in a very bad state for the last three years; drugs and an abusive lifestyle had gotten the best of me. I was severely addicted to Oxycontin, doing just over twenty 80mg pills a day, which equals the strength of about 320 Percocet pills. I became public enemy #1 with the cops due to my association with Hell’s Angels and other clubs and was under constant surveillance with wire taps, etc. There was a time when I couldn’t leave my house without being confronted by the cops. At least 3 or 4 police vehicles would show up every time I left the house. And with a diet of two quarts of ice cream a night, I gained a lot of weight and slipped into a very dark place. I was basically living in my theater room for the last two years and spent over half a million dollars on pills. I wasn’t paying attention to my business affairs either so I lost two million dollars over the course of my addiction. I went from living the high life with girls, money and parties to watching movies in my theatre and being a zombie with only my dogs to keep me company. What I now realize is that I put the lives of many people on hold during my addiction. There are a lot of people that count on me and I know I let them down. Thank God I have a studio in my house and an amazing group who never abandoned me. The only good thing that came out of the last three years is the album we are about to drop.

is it just me or does this give anybody else an eminem vibe to it with the hook….maybe its just the drugs..haha…..
Is it just me or does that message sound like a lot of veiled bragging about his dough, girls, home theater and affiliation with Hell’s Angels?

Yeah, old boy sounds lame but either way hope he gets through his addiction. It all sounds like publicity for the new album but I’m all for humans self-improving.
Taking 20 80 mg pills of OxyContin in 1 day is the biggest lie I have ever heard.
The biggest junky in the world would die after 20 pills in 1 days. He’s full of shit.
how pathetic, who the fuck eats that many oxys and eats that much ice cream? a terminally ill obese cancer patient.. and the hell’s angels probably just served this fiend with a half million in pills… fool needs to go to NA and stop putting wack shit out his basement studio.
^^^^^^
Co sign
I took 2 of those once and i’m a big dude (6’4 350 and play Oline in college) and that shit put me under the table. I was incoherent for about 8 hrs. . my boy was on some “trust me, you need this many” shit and when I came too, I almost killed his ass.
Swollen Members = PAWSE!!!!
Wow, publicity stunts in written form. That’s new.
This is some straight up dope shit… real talk. Swollen Members is one of the best groups around! Can’t wait for the album to drop!!!
i take 1 20mg oxycontin and i feel like its too much, 20 80mg oxys is certain death
I can’t believe dude spent half a million for pills let alone lost 2 million on his addiction. I really didn’t know Swollen Members were rolling like that with the dough.
ok i was addicted to oxycontin for 8 years……and if i ever even did 10-15 i would have been dead that is a BOLD FACED LIE……wow such a fucking liar that is sad…..ive been to rehab atleast 20-25 times and met every kind of junkie and i know not one person in the world that could ever do 20 80mg oxys….hahahaha wow what a fucking lying jackass!!!!!!
SHIT CAN I I BE YOUR FRIENDLOOSE 2 MILL AND STILL BE ABLE TO CHILL YOU NOT DOIN TO BAD SON I HAVE TO HUSTLE TO STRUGGLE THATS HOW RUFF ITS IS WHERE IM AT
BUT HEY HAVE A GOOD LIFE

I agree with everyone on this board.
1600 MGs of OxyContin is impossible. NO ONE could take that much. Not Courtney Love, not ANYONE.
He maybe meant a week. That would make more sense. But he was either getting fake, weak ass Oxys for way more than they are worth, or he is LYING.
When I broke my hand, 2 oxys is what I popped for the worst pain, which was swelling against the cast with nowhere for the shit to go. 20 would be self-mercalation.
When Swollen Members (stupid name) come to town, nobody attends the show, and those who do, leave after a couple songs. All the heads hate these cats.
what a queer name…
Its too bad that they ruin the few good songs they have with fake ass lies. I guess they can still be good songs, but its hard to listen to music by rappers you don’t support. And I don’t support guys that lie about the shit they’ve done.
ANd I agree with the group name being shitty, Prevail has some pretty deadly verses on a few of Swollen’s songs but honestly I’ve never really liked Mad Child…
This track is STRAIGHT FIRE!!!! REAL TALK!!! Can’t wait for the record… ROCKTOBER 13TH YALL!!!
All You Fools are fuckin retarded, how is admitting to drugs and bad habits a publicity stunt? And those of you that say that he’s wack, say that to the 2 million that u threw away on just drugs. Despite his drug addiction, that fool is probably making more bank then all your rich ass parents, so save yourself alot and SHUT THE FUCK UP!!!
And second of all, you can take that many pills, its called HIGH TOLERANCE, and you cant just go from one extreme to another, he probably started from poppin 1-3 pills. and builded up each time, Which gave his body a higher tolerance for pills
the addicts that do oxys 80s only do about 3-5 a day thats all they can afford, i have a good friend i know does 7 80s a day so its possible…
