$uicideBoy$ is a rap duo formed in 2014 by two cousins Ruby da Cherry and $lick $loth in New Orleans, US. Before forming the group they have always been interested in rap music and they were already playing some instruments. Especially, Ruby has a talent for playing an instrument as he plays guitar, bass, and drums. Slick was a DJ and a songwriter before the formation of the group.

They were only determined to be successful as they promised themselves to put an end to their lives if they failed to reach their ultimate aim which is to be successful. The band name $uicideBoy$ may be coming from that pledge.

The members of the duo are related to each other by blood. Cherry was born on April 22, 1990 as Aristos Petrou in Louisiana. Ruby is coming from a Greek background as his father is Greek. $lick $loth was born on April 11, 1989 in Louisiana as well, as Scott Arceneaux Jr. Even though they grew up together they had different interests as Ruby was interested in playing an instrument and Slick happened to be a DJ.
