About
With great fame comes at least a few nitpicky fans, and $uicideboy$ were keenly aware of this when they dropped their third studio album, <i>Sing Me a Lullaby, My Sweet Temptation</i>. Toward the end of the 2022 LP, $crim and Ruby da Cherry address their disgruntled listeners in typically sardonic fashion with "$uicideboy$ Were Better In 2015," the title nodding at social media complaints about how their music didn't stack up to their older stuff. The song sees them revisit themes of suicide and drug use, but now, having embraced sobriety, they aren't eager to stay in the past. And <i>Sing Me a Lullaby, My Sweet Temptation</i>—with its distortedly surrealistic soundscapes, playful introspection, and agile flows that never grow stale—offers plenty of reasons for folks to join them in the present. As with other releases, $crim and Ruby have no problem taking their demons for a dance, with the former giving them an inventive soundtrack. The opener, "Genesis," features a sample from a pinball videogame and a classic Ruby couplet that's as funny as it is profound: "I climbed to the top just to see how far down I would fall/Looked up at the heavens and thought it looked small." Elsewhere, on "Escape From BABYLON," the two imbue the kinetic energy of classic 808 cowbells with a fraught rumination on romance, connecting Memphis street rap aesthetics with an exceedingly relatable premise. The eclecticism doesn't stop there. With "Unlucky Me," they combine SWV vocals with more frenetic Memphis percussion for a playboy's joyride. Freewheeling but technically precise, imaginative but rooted in the duo's tradition, <i>Sing Me a Lullaby</i> features all the magnetism of their best releases. On "Resistance Is Useless," $uicideboy$ once again address the fans foolish enough to think they'd abandoned their essence: "Still in that 7th, ain't nothing has changed/Still wearing FTP fits to the grave/Still f*ck the fame, f*ck the pressure and pain/Only thing changed is I cut off my mane."
