Sing Me A Lullaby, My Sweet Temptation
$uicideboy$
Sing Me A Lullaby, My Sweet Temptation is the third studio album by New Orleans–born hip‑hop duo $uicideboy$, released on July 29, 2022 via their own G*59 Records imprint. Produced entirely by member Scrim under his alias Budd Dwyer (except for one co‑produced track), the 13‑song record runs a little over 36 minutes and solidifies their evolution from raw SoundCloud emo‑rap outliers into polished, high‑impact underground heavyweights. The album was preceded by the singles “THE_EVIL_THAT_MEN_DO” and “Escape from BABYLON,” and it debuted at No. 1 on Billboard’s Top Rap Albums chart, No. 2 on the Top R&B/Hip‑Hop Albums chart, and No. 7 on the Billboard 200, marking their strongest mainstream chart performance yet.
Musically, the album distills $uicideboy$’ signature mix of dirty South, crunk, horrorcore, trap, emo‑rap, and G‑funk into a more intricate, layered sound. Tracks such as “Genesis,” “Matte Black,” “Fucking Your Culture,” and “1000 Blunts” ride slowed, slurred, depressive atmospheres over blown‑out bass and eerie samples, while songs like “Escape from BABYLON,” “Ashes of Luxury,” and “Resistance Is Useless” bring in more vaporwave, ambient, and video‑game aesthetics, complete with horror‑movie sound effects and chopped vocal layers. Ruby da Cherry’s and $crim’s flows are tighter and more varied than on many earlier releases—rapid switches, clipped diction, and layered vocals replace the lo‑fi mumble of much SoundCloud rap—showing a duo that “know not only what they’re trying to say but how to say it.”
