Scrim

Scrim and his cousin Ruby grew up together, white kids in black neighborhoods on the east and west banks of the New Orleans. The Crescent City rap duo went on to form $uicideboy$ when they combined their talents in 2014, but the pair were already well-acquainted after growing up in close proximity and having similar interests. However, they initially veered down different paths. Ruby (aka Suicide Leopard) dabbled in punk rock, influenced by the Misfits , Minor Threat , and Leftover Crack . Meanwhile, Scrim (aka Suicide Christ) was a DJ and songwriter with deep roots in trap and hip hop. Once they joined forces in 2014, the result was a dark blend of horrorcore glitch-trap bubbling with booming bass, ominous atmospherics, and occultish, drugged-out rhymes. Ten volumes were issued that year, closing with XX: The Infinity Saga . Early 2018 saw the release of single “FUCKALLOFYOU2K18.” Later that year, they issued “Carrollton” and “Meet Mr. NICEGUY,” a pair of singles that landed on their fall release, I Want to Die in New Orleans. Issued in September 2019, the album landed at number nine on the Billboard 200. Prior to headlining the inaugural Grey Day Tour, the duo released a 6-track EP in May with the legendary Travis Barker titled “Live Fast, Die Whenever.” $uicideboy$ released their newest 12-track project on February 14th titled "Stop Staring at the Shadows," garnering over 150 million streams in its first week.
