Before seeing them last year, I knew that the scabby New Orleans SoundCloud-rap pioneers $uicideboy$ were a big deal, but I did not realize how big they were until I saw thousands of people rapping along with their drugs-and-depression lyrics word-for-word. My experience at last year’s Grey Day tour was an eye-opening one. $uicideboy$ have truly built and audience for what they do, and their umbrella is big enough to include a few different forms of intense underground music. At the show I saw, the lineup was mostly acts from the group’s G59 label, but Turnstile and Chief Keef were also booked to open. (Turnstile were amazing. Keef no-showed.) This year, $uicideboy$ are heading out on an even bigger version of the Grey Day tour, and its lineup is truly insane.

This time around, $uicideboy$ are hitting even bigger venues, including actual arenas like the Forum in LA. The whole tour will feature opening acts who come from different corners of the SoundCloud-rap world: Florida star Ski Mask The Slump God, A$AP Rocky collaborator $not, truly great Texan firebrand Maxo Kream. Different dates on the tour will also include the Baltimore experimental rap titan JPEGMAFIA and the massive metalcore bands Knocked Loose and Code Orange. It’s crazy to think about Knocked Loose and Maxo Kream being on the same show, and it’s crazy to think about seeing JPEGMAFIA in a giant venue, but it’s all happening.

There’s also an album coming. Today, $uicideboy$ announced plans to release their forthcoming LP Sing Me A Lullaby My Sweet Temptation this summer. They’ve already shared the early single “THE_EVIL_THAT_MEN_DO,” and they’ve got another one called “Escape from BABYLON” coming out tomorrow. $uicideboy$ make a lot of music, and Sing Me A Lullaby My Sweet Temptation is coming less than a year after The Long Term Effects Of SUFFERING, their last one. Below, check out the Grey Day dates and the video for “THE_EVIL_THAT_MEN_DO.”
