Just looking into the first site, it was probably copied. bigleemusic.com originally was an alias domain for a musician named Chad Lee. Sometime in the last few years it was let to expire, and someone in March of this year acquired it.
I am seeing the same pattern of picking up expired domains being used by spammers. They pick up domains with no prior bad records and unleash a mass of spam. Eventually they either stop paying, or their payment turns up as bad and the domain gets expired again.
Edit - and trippinsolo.com was originally a travel blog for solo travelers. Most of the 2010s it was "under construction" after being active the decade before that.
