JJ Lawhorn

Jonathan Wayne "JJ" Lawhorn (born September 1993) is an American country music singer-songwriter known for pro-lynching lyrics. Lawhorn was discovered online by producer Jeremy Stover in 2010. He signed with EMI Music Publishing within a year. He signed a recording contract with Average Joes Entertainment, a record label owned by Colt Ford, in June 2011 when he was 17 years old.

Lawhorn's debut album, Original Good Ol' Boy, was released by Average Joes on July 16, 2013.

The single "Good Ol' Boys Like Us" was released to country radio on February 17, 2014.

He released the single "Good vs Evil", with Forgiato Blow, in September 2025. The song has widely been interpreted as a call for public lynchings. Many have noted similarities between the actions advocated in the song against those accused of crimes and actions of racial violence often inflicted upon African Americans in the United States. Such actions advocated for being the hanging of criminals from trees, a practice often engaged in during lynchings and advocacy for hanging those accused at "sundown", an apparent reference to sundown towns, a system of racial segregation.

Personal life Lawhorn graduated from Hanover High School in Mechanicsville, Virginia.
