![]() ![]() That EP put Suicideboys on the map, paving the way for more. But their big underground breakthrough was with 2015’s $outh $ide $uicide,” a collaboration with rapper Pouya. This project blew up bigger than anybody could imagine, with at least nineteen sequel EP’s in the $uicide $aga series to date. Suicideboys started recording and self-releasing tracks back in 2014 with the EP Kill Yourself Part I: The $uicide $aga, debuting on SoundCloud and Bandcamp. Once the pair got going together, they went big. Punk rock played a huge role in Ruby da Cherry’s musical evolution, while Scrim got into some serious singer/songwriter work even as he continued to practice DJing. Having to work different jobs as they leveled up their DJing skills, both explored other genres on the way to their hip hop fame. Their mutual love for music helped carry them through the development of their careers. Starting out as family – Scrim (styled $crim) and Ruby da Cherry are cousins – the Suicideboys were always tight on a personal level. From heavy beats to ethereal atmospherics, these cousins weave soundscapes which captivate the imagination and inspire fans everywhere. Plus, there’s no denying that this pair are serious sonic explorers, and hip hop is far from the only influence on their relentlessly bass-heavy explorations of the depth of the soul. The make-it-happen roots of Suicideboys’ story makes their art feel authentic and uncut compared to flashier pop acts. The dark imagery and stark nature of their lyrics hits home with lots of people struggling with demons. When you ask fans what all the buzz is about, you’ll hear a lot of answers. Looking at Suicideboys’ full catalog of hundreds of releases over a seven-year period, not to mention their side projects, guest appearances, alter egos, more collaborations and singles, is all it takes to understand the band’s incredible output. Just check out their whole vibe, from horror movie imagery to deep occult symbolism, and you can easily imagine this act emerging from the dark corners of the Big Easy’s old school voodoo traditions.
