$UICIDEBOY$ – Self-Inflicted (Lyric Video)

$uicideboy$, an underground hip-hop duo based in New Orleans, Louisiana, released a lead single in May 2025 ahead of their next album, “Thy Kingdom Come.” Blending dark trap with raw lyrics that lay bare feelings of depression and self-destruction, the track delivers a powerful impact despite its brief runtime of about one minute, featuring heavy basslines and rapid-fire rapping.

The song also serves as the kickoff track for the 44-city nationwide Grey Day Tour 2025 starting in August of the same year, and is recommended for those who want to immerse themselves in the duo’s candid portrayal of inner turmoil.
