THY KINGDOM COME
G59 Records
From New Orleans
For fans of Lil Peep, Bones, Scarlxrd
The New Orleans-born cousins (Ruby da Cherry and Scrim) have little in the way of crossover hits or mainstream press. But since emerging on SoundCloud in 2014 with their depressive, Memphis-inspired blend of horrorcore, witch house, and emo rap, the duo’s nihilism has proved surprisingly potent—their Grey Day Tour was the third-highest-grossing rap tour of 2024. On their fifth album, THY KINGDOM COME (a modest catalog, until you count the additional nine mixtapes and 30-plus EPs they’ve released in just over a decade), $uicideboy$ mostly stick to their bread and butter: themes of addiction and abjection, morose yet baroque titles, and the rap game’s bleakest flexes. But occasionally, a bit of levity creeps in, be it a jubilant sample of a NOLA bounce classic (Big Freedia’s “Gin in My System”) on “Napoleon” or the ’80s-R&B gloss on the otherwise grim “Full of Grace (I Refuse to Tend My Own Grave).”

“In this episode of the Reframed Podcast, Dylan Hahn sits down with director Charlie Sarsfield to unpack the wild and energetic production behind Yungblud’s music video, Love Sick. Charlie talks about working with Dominic Richard Harrison, the creative chaos of the Yungblud team, and the precise technical work behind some of the video’s most iconic scenes—including a beer sliding down a pub bar via a custom double-dolly rig. They end up diving into the often-blurred line between creative inspiration and outright imitation.” - Frame Set
