Us Vs. Them
From the mixtapes to EPs to the proper albums, $uicideboy$ drops a lot of music, yet differentiates between them. We are just about to get one. This January, $crim released his solo LP Lonely Boy, and now $uicideboy$ are readying New World Depression, their follow-up to Sing Me A Lullaby, My Sweet Temptation from 2022, for release this summer. Today, the duo shares the first single.
'Us Vs. Them' is vintage $uicideboy$ fare: an eerie, flickering beat, evil singsong nursery rhyme hooks, and lyrics about fentanyl chewing and Percocet snorting on the lead single. It is directly inspired by the '90s underground rap of the backpack and southern mixtape variety. And, if you haven't guessed already—these cats can rap.
