SCRIM // $uicideboy$ Rapper Releases Debut Solo Album ‘A Man Rose From The Dead’

Scrim, one half of underground rap duo $uicideboy$, has shared his debut solo project A Man Rose From The Dead, a 20-track album that ranges from melodically auto-tuned to the traditional darker bass-boosted tunes that $uicideboy$ fans are accustomed to.

The album was created when Scrim was self-isolating in a studio in Palm Desert on his path to sobriety, to deal with his ever-changing emotions while getting clean.

Some of the tracks were composed with the intention of being a $uicideboy$ song, while others were created simply as a pseudo audio-diary that chronicles Scrim’s journey from being completely reliant on drugs to, in his own words, “a man rising from the grave”.

Scrim grew up in New Orleans with his cousin Ruby—the other half of $uicideboy$—as white kids in black neighbourhoods. The pair grew up in close, and eventually found their musical passions taking different roads.

Ruby dabbled in punk rock–influenced by The Misfits, Minor Threat, and Leftover Crack–while Scrim was a DJ and songwriter with deep roots in trap and hip hop. Once they joined forces in 2014, the result was a dark blend of horrorcore glitch-trap, bubbling with booming bass, ominous atmospherics, and occultic, drugged-out rhymes.

Scrim’s debut solo project A Man Rose From The Dead is out now on all good digital streaming platforms.
