Suicideboys – Sing Me a Lullaby, My Sweet Temptation

The Suicideboys Sing Me A Lullaby, My Sweet Temptation vinyl is a limited green colored LP pressing on G59 Records, catalog number G59LP 1003, and one of the more visually and sonically distinct releases to come out of the New Orleans duo’s catalog. $uicideboy$, the cousin duo of Scott Arcenaux Jr. (aka $lick Sloth) and Aristos Petrou (aka Ruby da Cherry), built their reputation from the ground up, turning the raw circumstances of their upbringing in New Orleans into an underground movement that eventually broke well past cult status. A Top 10 debut on the Billboard Top 200, over 2 billion streams, sold-out arenas across three continents, and coverage from XXL, Billboard, Pigeons and Planes, and Revolver tell part of the story. Collaborations with Juicy J and members of Korn tell another part.

Why $uicideboy$ Hit Different

By 2020, the pair had cemented themselves as one of hip-hop’s most insurgent and inescapable forces. Their appeal has never been purely commercial. They rap with a weight and directness that comes from having actually lived through the darkness they describe, and that authenticity is exactly what built the devoted following that has sustained them across years of relentless output. Hip-hop, for $lick Sloth and Ruby da Cherry, was not an aesthetic choice. It was the choice they made instead of the alternative.

About the Suicideboys Sing Me A Lullaby, My Sweet Temptation Vinyl

This pressing runs 13 tracks, opening with GENESIS and moving through cuts like MATTE BLACK, ESCAPE FROM BABYLON, ASHES OF LUXURY, and closing on THE_EVIL_THAT_MEN_DO. The sequencing carries a deliberate arc, and the tracklist titles alone communicate the headspace the record operates in. The limited green colored vinyl format adds a physical dimension to an album that thematically earns it. G59 Records, the duo’s own imprint, handled the release, keeping it fully on their own terms as they always have.

Who Should Own This

If you collect hip-hop on wax, limited color pressings on artist-run labels are increasingly hard to come by once the initial run moves. G59 does not flood the market, and colored variants of their releases tend to move. This one carries catalog number G59LP 1003, which places it firmly within the label’s core releases rather than a peripheral reissue or variant. For collectors interested in the intersection of underground hip-hop and physical media, and especially for anyone who has followed $uicideboy$ through their catalog, this is the format the record deserves to be heard on.
