Description
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.
Locked and loaded, their second album, STOP STARING AT THE SHADOWS [G*59/Caroline], reasserted their power once again.
The boys first recognized this power in 2013. As legend has it, $lick and Ruby found themselves fed up with the world around them, yet curiously inspired by Slipknot, Minor Threat, Misfits, Andr? 3000, Three 6 Mafia, Lil Wayne, and Kanye West. Drawing on $lick' talents as a guitarist, drummer, violinist, multi-instrumentalist, and producer, the two-piece cut up genre lines and blew them into dust, delivering a dystopic diorama of rap through a prism of punk energy, heavy metal nihilism, and alternative vulnerability. In 2014, they uploaded Kill Your$elf Part I: The $uicide Saga to Soundcloud and ignited a prolific run of releases to rival those of hometown legends Lil Wayne and Curren$y.
Within three years, they released a staggering twenty installments of the Kill Your$elf EP series, going so far as to drop XI-XV over the course of just one day in May 2017. Maintaining this breakneck pace, another twenty-one projects followed highlighted by collaborations such as $outh $ide $uicide with Pouya and DIRTNASTY$UICIDE with Germ as well as the seminal My Liver Will Handle What My Heart Can't. The latter yielded "Kill Yourself (Part III)," which tallied 136 million streams on Spotify alone.
Released in partnership between their own G*59 Records and Caroline Distribution, the duo's proper full-length debut LP, I Want to Die in New Orleans, crashed the Billboard Top 200 at #9 in 2018. Standout single "Carollton" put up 57 million Spotify streams as Juicy J blessed the album by co-producing "Phantom Menace." In its wake, they packed houses around the world supported by diverse bills consisting of Shoreline Mafia, Denzel Curry, Turnstile, City Morgue, Trash Talk, and more. Not to mention, $lick and Ruby shut down the main stages of festivals such as Lollapalooza and Rolling Loud, to name a few. Additionally, they joined forces with legendary blink-182 drummer Travis Barker and Korn guitarist James "Munky" Shaffer on the 2019 six-track EP, Life Fast, Die Whenever.
