$uicideboy$ (@SUICIDEBOYS) Unveil New Solo Projects Ahead of Grey Day Tour 2026

New Orleans duo $uicideboy$ are kicking off summer with a pair of solo releases from $crim and Ruby da Cherry, setting the stage for a packed summer of releases from G59 Records.

Today, Ruby da Cherry returns with the latest installment of his punk-driven side project DUCKBOY, unveiling daily reminders to repent from sin [vol. 3] [LISTEN]. The 10-track collection blends elements of punk, hardcore, alternative rock and indie music, reconnecting with the punk and hardcore influences that shaped his music before forming the $uicideboy$ with his cousin $crim, and helped build one of independent music’s biggest success stories.

The DUCKBOY album follows $crim’s Runaway [LISTEN], a sprawling 59-track project that explores his evolution as both a producer and artist. Runaway debuted at #2 on Spotify’s US Album Debut Chart and #6 on the Global Album Debut Chart with more than 12 million streams on the platform in its first week.

Both artists are supporting their releases with a series of music videos. $crim has already shared visuals for “cortisol,” “range (i don’t show it),” “claymore,” “fort wayne,” “country boy freestyle,” and “american spirits.” DUCKBOY is also rolling out five visuals to accompany the album starting with “when there’s no more room in hell, the dead will walk the earth” out now.

Fans can also expect new music from $uicideboy$ later this summer before the group embarks on its highly anticipated Grey Day Tour 2026. Over the past several years, Grey Day has grown into one of the most successful independent touring franchises in music, consistently landing on Billboard’s highest-grossing hip-hop tours and consistently drawing massive crowds across North America.

This year’s 33-date arena and amphitheater run launches August 29 in Shakopee, Minnesota at Mystic Lake Amphitheater and features support from Destroy Lonely, Shoreline Mafia, Shakewell, Drain, Black Kray, and $lim Gucci. Tickets and tour dates are available here.

Beyond these releases, G59 Records is preparing a steady stream of new music throughout the summer. Atlanta rapper Germ recently announced his forthcoming Stay Gold EP, arriving June 19, which blends his signature Southern rap style with punk-inspired energy following his Back To Hell Tour alongside Freddie Dredd and Cursed. 

Meanwhile, San Fernando Valley artist Shakewell has released “Smoke (I Want It All),” the lead single from his upcoming hardcore-influenced project SLUGEATER, due out June 26 ahead of his appearance on this year’s Grey Day Tour. 

Fans can also look forward to new music from Ottawa’s Night Lovell, whose dark atmospheric sound and unmistakable baritone have helped establish him as one of underground hip-hop’s most distinctive voices. Additional details on his next release will be announced soon.

G Herbo (@gherbo) - "Lil Herb: Lil Heroin Edition" (Album)

G Herbo is making sure to stay consistent. G Herbo is taking fans back to the beginning. The Chicago rapper is revisiting his early career with Lil Herb: Lil Heroin Edition. He already released the previous single, the Chase Davis-produced track “Thug,” which appears on the album. The name Lil Herb also holds weight and significance. In fact, it’s a nod to one of his most recognizable early nicknames. Longtime fans will remember when Herbo was still going by Lil Herb before evolving into one of Chicago's most successful rappers. This latest release suggests he's reconnecting with the gritty style that initially put him on the map alongside artists like Lil Bibby, Chief Keef, and King Louie. Following a recent string of releases, G Herbo has been making sure to stay consistent this summer. - via HotNewHipHop
