After being released from prison in 2016, Harness dropped Return of the Outlaw EP via Slumerican.[1] From 2017 to 2018, he collaborated with rapper JellyRoll on the trilogy of Waylon & Willie albums, the title of which pays homage to Waylon Jennings/Willie Nelson's Waylon & Willie and WWII. Struggle and Jenni Eddy Jennings released Spiritual Warfare EP to the end of 2018. In the beginning of 2019, Struggle with his daughter Brianna Harness released collaborative EP entitled Sunny Days, which peaked at #3 on the Billboard Blues Albums. One month later, Struggle released a solo studio album via Angels & Outlaws, called The Widow's Son, with guest appearances including Bubba Sparxxx, Jeremy Penick, Julie Roberts and Yelawolf.

gollark: > 8. C# for large scale projectsThey are saying C++ would be *easier* to scale. This does not seem to match with reality, where you'll probably debug some weird memory corruption issue in some random code somewhere in a big C++ app.
gollark: Oh, it's just a bit slow.
gollark: > 7. C# as a script... this doesn't actually seem to contain any criticism of it?
