City Morgue

New York duo City Morgue make aggressive, ultra-violent trap-metal heavily influenced by hardcore punk and nu-metal, filled with screamed vocals, unflinching lyrics, and booming 808s. They burst onto the scene with their 2018 debut, City Morgue, Vol 1: Hell or High Water, and reached the Top 20 of the Billboard 200 with its 2019 follow-up. They continued delivering intense releases such as 2023's My Bloody America. After making a splash in 2017 with the single "Shinners 13" and its shocking music video that featured rampant drug use and firearms aplenty, shadowy New York rappers ZillaKami and SosMula joined forces with producer Thraxx under the official moniker City Morgue. With their aggressive delivery, threatening image, and intensely hedonistic and violent tendencies, City Morgue captured the dark side of the 2010s alternative rap scene, adopting metal/punk influences like contemporaries $uicideboy$, XXXTentacion, and one-time affiliate 6ix9ine. In the spirit of horror-rap forebears Esham and Geto Boys, City Morgue amplified the sex, drugs, and violence rhymes to an extreme. They issued their first effort, City Morgue, Vol 1: Hell or High Water (Republic/Universal), in October of 2018. The set also featured the single "33rd Blakk Glass." A follow-up, City Morgue, Vol. 2: As Good as Dead, arrived in December the next year. Expanding from their trademark trap-metal sonics, the LP saw the trio dabble with the sonics of their contemporaries, venturing into emo rap and alternative trap along with their usual banger-centric approach to the genre. The release was a chart success, hitting number 16 on the Billboard 200. The next year, they issued another aggressive, violent collection, the brisk mixtape Toxic Boogaloo, which featured production by Thraxx and Powers Pleasant. It charted in the Top 100. City Morgue, Vol. 3: Bottom of the Barrel followed in 2021. ZillaKami and SosMula collaborated with Korea's Keith Ape for the 2022 EP $moke Under the Water. They returned in 2023 with the long-delayed My Bloody America, which they announced as their final studio album.
