$lick $loth and Ruby da Cherry are $UICIDEBOY$, the New Orleans-based duo who’ve developed a cult following over the last few years with their dark take on rap music. “Paris” is one of their biggest underground hits—the track currently has 22 million views on YouTube and over 300,000 views on Genius.

“I always got a lot of dark shit on my mind,” $lick $loth (a.k.a. $crim) tells Genius. “A lot of problems. Anxiety. Panic disorders. Addiction. You name it. It draws me to this dark place. It’s more of a description of that side of me, also an ode to kind of being a product of my environment where I grew up. Seeing people with guns and shanking people. I got shanked myself, when I was 12. It was a regular thing.”

Watch the duo go line-for-line on “Paris” in the latest episode of Verified, and then check out past episodes below.
