$uicideBoy$ is a popular American hip hop duo. At the origins of the group are native cousins named Aristos Petros and Scott Arsen. They gained popularity after the presentation of the full-length LP in 2018. The musicians are known under the creative names Ruby Da Cherry and $crim.
The history of the creation of the group $uicideBoy$
It all started in 2014. Natives of the New Orleans ghetto decided to try their luck as musicians, choosing the core genre of rap underground.
Scott and Aristos are cousins. In addition, the guys spent their childhood together. Until the creation of their own offspring, they managed to work in the music industry. Scott Arsen in the new project was responsible for vocals, Aristos Petros - for musical accompaniment.
According to critics, the duet was well received by music lovers due to the fact that the musicians used modern technologies and topical, slightly depressing lyrics. The musicians posted their first works on the SoundCloud platform.
The debut tracks of $uicideBoy$ were warmly received by music lovers. This pushed the duo to productive work. By 2014, the musicians had accumulated enough material to release 10 parts of the KILL YOURSELF mini-saga.
Even then, Arsen and Aristos managed to create their own style. The $uicideBoy$ bits were specific. In the texts of the compositions, the topics of drug addiction and mental disorders were touched upon.
In the wake of recognition, the guys created their own label. We are talking about G * 59 Records. The composition of the group has not changed since its inception. But the musicians gladly entered into interesting collaborations with other representatives of the foreign stage.

In 2015, the $uicideBoy$ group presented several worthy mixtapes to fans of their work. In addition, the duo worked with Pouya, releasing a collaborative track $outh $ide $uicide. This song interested music lovers.
A few years later, the remaining parts of the KILL YOURSELF saga were presented. And the musicians started producing songs from the new collection of the artist Juicy J. In collaboration with him and A$AP Rocky vocalist, the duet presented the composition Freaky.
On the wave of popularity, the musicians released a full-length LP. We are talking about the album I Don't Want To Die In New Orleans. The album appeared on music platforms in September 2018.
Immediately before the presentation, the musicians renamed the title to I Want to Die in New Orleans. At the same time, the presentation of the video for the song For the Last Time took place.
In 2019, the duo presented the LIVE FAST DIE WHENEVER EP. It was recorded with Blink-182 drummer Travis Barker. The record was warmly received by both fans and music critics.
$uicideBoy$ Style
Music critics cannot categorize $uicideBoy$'s music into any particular genre. In the compositions of the duet, you can hear the responses of the rap subgenre. In addition, the repertoire of musicians is characterized by lyrics.
The themes of depression, suicide, violence and drug addiction are often heard in the compositions of the duet. Most of $uicideBoy$'s tracks describe the real life of New Orleans, as well as the harsh reality.
Fans believe that the creation of the duo's style was influenced by the work of the Three 6 Mafia group. This is especially well heard in the early compositions of the band $uicideBoy$.
Another "trick" of musicians is that they do not use the services of producers. All the records and tracks that came out under the stage name $uicideBoy$ were released by the musicians on their own.
