- (sic)boy, known for his unique presence and musical style of incorporating elements from Alternative, Emo, Loud Rock, as well as the melodious flow of J-Rock into the Hip-Hop genre. In 2019, his song caught lots of attention on SoundCloud, praised for his production quality and uniqueness. His 1st album CHAOS TAPE, released in October 2020, surpassed 80 million streams. The concept of the album was based on a unique perspective of Tokyo, with a genre-less sound named "Genre Tokyo".
The great success led to features on Spotify's "RADAR: Early Noise 2021", Apple Music's "UP NEXT", and YouTube Music's "YouTube Music Sessions 2021", making (sic)boy the first to be featured in all programs, which proves his growing presence in the Japanese music scene. On top, (sic)boy was picked up by the renowned US-based Hip-Hop media, Lyrical Lemonade, making him the first Japanese ever to be specially featured and attracted attention globally.- IMDb Mini Biography By: Universal Music - (sic)boy is an emo rapper from Tokyo who's been gaining traction on the Internet after releasing two EPs, NEVERENDING? (under the Sid The Lynch moniker) and more recently, (sic)'s sense. Fusing together alternative rock and rap, (sic)boy is clearly influenced by the guitar-heavy, emo trap sounds of artists like Lil Peep and nothing,nowhere. Akuma Emoji features a distorted guitar riff looping over heavy 808s. (sic)boy deftly weaves together English and Japanese and alludes to the demons in his head as the 9-tailed fox from Naruto. It's a pretty standard emo-rap formula but the chorus is so catchy that you will soon find yourself singing along to the English parts. (sic)boy also brings a little flair by adding a small breakdown in the latter half of the song. As the vocals get pitched up with turntable scratches, it slowly morphs into (sic)boy screaming into the mic before jumping back to the chorus. It's a clear nod to his emo rock influences and acts as a nice crescendo before the final, multi-tracked chorus.- IMDb Mini Biography By: Medium
