By the Numbers
Cowboys Live Forever, Outlaws Never Die keeps Shaboozey at the center of the writing on every track, almost always beside the producer who built the song, with Essancy, Ben Mironer, and Sam Martinez recurring most often. He also takes a co-production credit on several songs himself. The guest writers on the featured tracks, Powers Pleasant, RMR, and Garzon, are the clearest additions to a record otherwise driven by his own pen.
Cowboys Live Forever, Outlaws Never Die is the second studio album by Shaboozey, released in October 2022 and a sharper take on his country-rap fusion than his debut. Built around a western-outlaw concept, it threads cowboy imagery through hip-hop production and country songwriting, with features from Powers Pleasant, RMR, and Garzon. Shaboozey co-wrote every track, sharing credits with producers like Essancy, Ben Mironer, and Sam Martinez and adding himself to the production on several songs. The album did not chart but built his reputation in the genre-blurring country space and set up the breakthrough that followed two years later.
