I am the shipwreck with its scattered and soaked wood littering the ocean like a nest of roaches
The water smothers me patiently, and it waits to feel my body on the ocean floor
I am the captain
I stand alone with my ship, never leaving its side, for tonight I sleep in a shark's stomach
The tears and rain both hit my face, as I lay on the deck and wait to drown
I am the thunder, and I am the storm
Hear me roar as I deafen all
I conduct my orchestra as loud as possible and conclude with a violent smash
I am washing the splinters from within my heart, and I scream as it pumps
Let my lungs fill with water as the broken bathtub leaks

Hailing from New Orleans, $UICIDEBOY$ are a rap duo of two Scott Arceneaux Jr. and Aristos Petrou. However, many different names and personas are used in place of their real names—for example, “Ruby Da Cherry,” “$uicide Christ,” and many more—each having individual meanings. The full list and breakdown of these aliases can be found here. $B are currently signed underground rap-based record label, G*59 Records, who have also signed Ramirez and Germ.

The boys' discography ranges from horrorcore glitch-trap–working with heavy bass, to gloomy atmospherics and drugged-out rhymes. They began in 2014 by releasing the soon-to-be-infamous series, “Kill Yourself.” The cousins layered their twisted raps over short but snappy tracks, releasing albums and EP’s along the way; such as Black $uicide, Grey/Gray and YUNGDEATHLILLIFE in 2015.

Ruby has not always been a rapper. Before the era of $B—Ruby was a drummer in a punk-rock band who went by the name of Vapo-Rats. During an interview with No Jumper a few years after leaving the band Ruby explained his reasoning for his choice to depart from the group. During the interview, $crim said,
