I Want to Die in New Orleans is the debut studio album by New Orleans rap group Suicideboys, which was released on September 7, 2018 on Caroline Records[3] and Suicideboys imprint G*59 Records. Released to critical acclaim in the underground rap scene, the album debuted at number 9 on the US Billboard 200.[4]

Background

Originally titled I Don't Want to Die in New Orleans, the album was originally teased by Suicideboys in a February 2017 tweet from member $crim, announcing a December 2017 release date for what would become their debut studio album.[5] They later reaffirmed this in an interview with XXL in April 2017.[6]

The recording for I Want to Die in New Orleans began in 2016 whilst the duo were on tour.[7]

Music and lyrics

I Want To Die in New Orleans was released on September 7, 2018 and is 14 tracks long with its last song, I No Longer Fear the Razor Guarding My Heel (IV), acting as the fourth iteration of the duo's popular EP series of the same name.[8][9] The project chronicles semi-autobiographical stories of the duo's encounters with depression, drug addiction and suicidal ideation.[10] The instrumentals used are often ominous,[11] dark but clean[12] and feature samples from news adverts, local PSAs and documentaries taken in the New Orleans area in the late 90s as a way to attempt to create an atmospheric feel.[13]

The project only has one feature on "FUCK the Industry", which is uncredited, but involves rapper Bones speaking a mock eulogy. All tracks are produced by Suicideboys member $crim, under his producer alias Budd Dwyer, with Phantom Menace being co-produced by Memphis rapper and mentor Juicy J.
