Since their inception in 2013, the Suicideboys have weathered accusations of style-jocking, copyright infringement and even Satanist leanings, only to come out on top, bigger than ever. But the stakes have always been real for the duo. They got their start and their group’s name after making a pact to kill themselves if their music career didn’t work out. Luckily for them and their legion of loyal fans, it did. Suicideboys bring a distinctly dark yet harmonious flavor to the modern rap game, layering machine-gun lyrical delivery over hypnotic beats. It’s both abrasive and addictive. Familiar but alien, the duo keeps refining their style year after year without showing any sign of slowing down. Even with newfound bouts of sobriety and turns toward Jesus on the new album.
