We choose life or death. No third option exists. $uicideboy$ rap like their lives depend on it, because they actually do. Hip-hop lifted the New Orleans duo of cousins—Scott Arcenaux, Jr. a.k.a. $lick Sloth and Aristos Petrou a.k.a. Ruby da Cherry—out of a violent drug-riddled hood nightmare and into an underground phenomenon. On the way up, they landed a Top 10 debut on the Billboard Top 200, tallied 2 billion-plus streams, averaged 4.2 million monthly listeners on Spotify, sold out arenas on three continents, and received acclaim from Pigeons and Planes, XXL, Billboard, and Revolver. Not to mention, they collaborated with everyone from Academy® Award winner Juicy J to members of Korn. These accolades cemented the pair as the culture’s most insurgent, inescapable, and influential cult by 2020. Detractors have claimed that artists like $uicideboy$, like so many rappers and rock stars before their time, as well as so many of their creative peers, glamorize mental illness and addiction In 2021, the duo released their third full-length project through The Orchard titled Long Term Effects of SUFFERING. The album charted as high as number 6 on the Billboard top-200 and boasts over half a billion cumulative streams across all platforms, with 350 million on Spotify alone. Every generation tends to believe that history will end, or at least peak, with its passing, but SoundCloud rap—or emo rap, or whatever you want to call it—and its audience belong to an era when our fate seems scientifically sealed. Faced with that grim prognosis, $uicideboy$ ask: What’s wrong with taking a little pleasure in your own demise when it’s all but set in stone? Consider this a warning.
