In the latest episode of "Open Space," we hook up with Ruby Da Cherry and $uicide Christ, a pair of cousins from the 7th Ward of New Orleans, collectively known as the punk rap duo $uicideBoy$.
“A lot of people take it as emo, or depressed music, or negative music,” says $uicide Christ from behind white-framed shades. Their moniker alone is likely enough to evoke negative thoughts, but the candid rapper tells MASS APPEAL during the $uicideBoy$’s new episode of “Open Space” that there’s a reason for the dark undertones. “It’s really just connecting. It’s therapy, through music.”
Ruby Da Cherry adds, “That actual substance of the lyrics, yeah, it’s depressing as shit. But if you’re depressed as fuck and you listen to that song, you’ll definitely feel a lot better knowing that somebody is going through the same shit, if not worse.”
In that sentiment lies the modus operandi of the $uicideBoy$. During the interview, Ruby and $uicide discuss their early inspirations—Cash Money for Ruby, Three 6 Mafia for $uicide—including an interesting anecdote from Ruby, who ditched rap at an early age and didn’t return to it until he’d discovered Wu-Tang and N.W.A, who weren’t as into “material bullshit” as the artists that nudged him away from hip hop and into punk rock. In hindsight, Ruby tells MASS APPEAL, that was a pivotal time in the birth of $uicideBoy$.
So was an ultimatum that $uicide Christ once gave himself: “This doesn’t happen by the time I’m 30, I’m blowing my head off.” By “this,” $uicide meant success with his music endeavors. The duo’s latest release, “Pictures” featuring Atlanta rapper Maxo Kream, is nearing the 1.5 million mark on Soundcloud. It’s safe to say they’re well on their way.

"I pray God don't never take this shit from me," says Blac Youngsta, the Memphis rapper whose infectious personality threatened to upstage Lil Yachty in their recent music video "Hip Hopper." Signed to Yo Gotti's CMG imprint, Youngsta recently founded his own Heavy Camp label. "I'm blessed! I'm happy, bro! It scare me at times. Sometimes I just get scared. Like, I know I ain't got Jay Z money and Gotti money. But Bruh—I'm good. I'm satisfied. I'm happy with where my life taking me."
During a recent visit to MASS APPEAL HQ, Youngsta took time out for an Open Space interview—and soon turned the video chat into a prayer meeting. "God thank you for everything you done for me," Blac Youngsta said, he head bowed down low. "Thank you for watching over me when I go in these clubs, watching over my fans. Thank you for believing in me, cause I know you been doin' it from the get go. Thank you for placing me right here, to do this interview with one of the most major-est peoples in the game right now, MASS APPEAL... Thank you Jesus. Amen."
Elsewhere in the interview, Youngsta opened up about overcoming hard times as a youth growing up in Memphis. "I never cared about doing homework," he admits. "I never cared about going to school. I never cared about that. I had other shit on my mind. To feed my little brothers. To make sure grandma can pay this rent next month. Things that a child should not have to be worried about. So a lot of people misunderstood me. They under-estimate me real hard."
He describes his song "One Bedroom House" as a realistic account of his struggle, what he calls Memphis real. "I come from the hood," he explains. "A lot of people don't know, I was po. Like, I literally had nothing. I come from nothing. I'm like the underdog. So I had to work at the store for food, bro. People worked for money. I never worked for money. I worked for food." He says he's still trying to move his grandmother out the one-bedroom house where he grew up. "The same little raggedy house in the hood," he says. "And I'm a millionaire now."
In recent weeks, Youngsta has been in the news for turning himself in to police investigating a shooting that targeted Memphis rapper Young Dolph. Youngsta steadfastly maintains his innocence —humorously pointing out that there's an expensive watch on his wrist, not handcuffs. He also says that "Birthday," the first song he released after being released from custody, is "true facts." The chorus of the song was just something catchy," he says, but the verses are "how I can explain what's really goin' on."
As Blac Youngsta puts it, "I went through some shit, bruh, to get to where I'm at." With that said, he's seen enough to be able to tell what's really important. "I don't give a fuck what nobody think about me," he says. "When I first came in the care I used to care when they speak on me. What niggas say about me and shit. Now I just don't care. God blessed me, bro. What more do I have to ask for?" Peep the full video up top.

In the latest Open Space, Mass Appeal linked with UnoTheActivist and Thouxanbanfauni.
"Me and him and very few other people started a whole generation of Soundcloud rappers," UnoTheActivist tells Mass Appeal at the beginning of his new Open Space interview alongside the homie Thouxanbanfauni. "At first, dropping a song on Soundcloud didn't mean shit."
The 20-year-old rapper from Atlanta sits down for the camera to relate his quick come up, the divide between younger and older heads, the crib he had at 18 and is now banned from, and what to expect from his upcoming project, Live.Shyne.Die. "This is serious music, not no bubblegum rap," he says. (Also worth noting: Fauni came through with a pair of ultra-rare Vlone AF1s.)

Xavier Wulf was ahead of his time. As a former member of Raider Klan squad, him and his people laid the groundwork for a lot of artists. "Any new artist that came out since 2013, they followed our blueprint," Wulf says. "That's if they stayed independent."
And being independent is key. The Memphis rapper had people checking for him before anyone knew what was going on. Soundcloud even called him to try and figure out how he grew such a large fan base. But it paid off, literally: They started giving him money. "I was the first nigga getting Soundcloud checks," he says.
Now every kid is using Soundcloud. He's not even mad at the term Soundcloud rapper. How could he be? "I'm an OG in the shit," is how he sees it. If he was just entering the scene, then it might be a different story, though. He's not sure how he'd feel about the underground from that perspective. But it's progressing, and he says labels are starting to catch onto the whole wave.
While he's still fam with the Klan, he's moved on and started his own team, the HollowSquad. He also left behind the alias Ethelwulf, which he saw as a different character, a more wild one. "Xavier is more grown," he explains. "Still crazy, but more collected crazy."
The Xavier sound is punk rap, or heavy metal rap; full of references to anime and cars. He even created a mixtape, Project X, around a car he built for drifting. But mainly it's about the energy. It's high energy, head banging, crowd surfing music. "It's what any kids going through anything need to hear in order to help them out of that." And he says fans thank him for helping them through difficult periods frequently: "That makes me feel good."

"There's a certain thing in your brain, that once you unlock your confidence, and you know you're good, itts over." Ao says Smokepurpp, the Florida rapper who started recording tracks on his Apple headphone mic two years ago.
So how, exactly, did he unlock his confidence? The secret is revealed in MASS APPEAL's latest Open Space interview, which you can watch above.
"It was weird," Purpp recalls. "I watched the Lil Wayne documentary on shrooms, and it was the craziest experience. I watched how he was acting, and he looked so confident... that sparked my brain. I realized, like, 'Yo, all you gotta do is be confident. If you're confident, people are gonna be confident for you.' " Since then the so-called "Soundcloud Rapper" has inked a record deal with Interscope's Alamo Records imprint, and is now preparing to release his highly anticipated Deadstar project.
"I started as a producer," he says. "I started rapping cause nobody used my beats. I was just rapping for fun, but people were fuckin' with it." He began skipping school to make music and eventually got kicked out. Purpp says he has enough credits to graduate but at this point he's not bothered. After all, as he points out, "I'd probably make more money than a doctor."
There is no doubt that Florida's rap scene is popping in a major way at the moment. "We all knew each other—every single one of us," says SmokePurpp. "They actually started the scene—XXX, Lil Pump, Wifi, Skimask, Slumpgod. And there's a lot more people coming up that people don't even know about. They literally built a scene until it was overflowing. It got to a point where it was everywhere—like, everybody's from Florida. That's just how it happened. It was an eruption."
Purpp says the new wave of Florida rappers all share a certain rawness. "Sometimes we might make a song where we're screaming," he explains. "It's not mixed or nothing. You don't care if the beat is distorted. You just let it hit—just punch. That whole distortion sound... people really feel it."
Purpp shares the story of how another Florida upstart, his best friend Lil Pump, reluctantly got started in the rap game. "Nowadays rap is not just about rap," Purpp explains. "It's also being able to entertain. If you wanna make money you gotta be able to put on a good show." He believed Pump had the right stuff, but Pump wasn't interested. "He was like 'I don't care about that. I don't wanna do that'," Purpp recalls. "But he was already on Twitter being a character. I said 'You should rap bro. You got a persona.' I told him 'Bro, you're Lil Pump Jetskiii!'" His friend was immediately sparked. 'Yo—that shit sounds raw as fuck!' " he said, and the rest is history. The new moniker unlocked his confidence, if you will.
These days Purpp doesn't have a care in the world. Just don't mix him up with Spaceghostpurpp, with whom has had a certain amount of Twitter beef. "All those 'Fuck Purpps'' are not about me," he clarifies. "They're about fuckin' him. Let that be known, and stop askin'. Let that shit be straight. Replay that shit and put it in slow fuckin' motion."

"I was like, 'Damn, no more football. So what you gon' do now Maxo?'" the Houston native tells MASS APPEAL about his career-ending hip injury, which forced him to look at different paths in life. His initial move into music was encouraged by early connections with Travis Scott. "Bro, you need to fuckin' make beats!" Maxo quotes Travis telling him, while giving some background on his early beginnings and even making fun of his own old rhymes.
"I feel like when Houston come out, everybody comes out in a wave, and when everybody do come out, everybody fuckin' with each other," he says of the local scene there.
As an explanation for his latest project, The Persona Tape, he offers this gem: "Some people work at MASS APPEAL. Some rock jewelry, fuck on hoes, pipe the fuck up. That's my persona. It's just about who you is bro." Some of his biggest inspirations were Slick Rick, Tupac, and The Notorious B.I.G; but he also includes getting into trouble, being kicked out of his house, and experiencing Hurricane Katrina. These were all important factors that molded him into the artist he is today.
"I feel like I'm one of the best story tellers of the new generation," he says, going on to elaborate about his future plans of starting a label and having kids (even though he don't trust these hoes). "I wanna be rich and free. Out of jail and alive."

Mass Appeal
Mass Appeal is a two-character play by Bill C. Davis. The comedy-drama focuses on the conflict between a complacent Roman Catholic pastor and the idealistic young deacon who is assigned to his affluent, suburban parish.
Plot
Father Tim Farley is highly popular with his parishioners due to his charm, wit, easy-going manner, and entertaining (but unchallenging) sermons. One Sunday, seminarian Mark Dolson interrupts Farley's sermon to challenge his stance on the ordination of women. The pastor is outraged yet intrigued by the young man, and asks to have him assigned to work with him.
Dolson is a firebrand eager to change the Church. He enjoys attacking Farley's "song and dance theology" and questioning why he drinks so much. Dolson feels it's his job to shake parishioners out of their complacency. Farley likes Dolson, but sees that he'll never succeed as a priest if all he does is irritate people and make enemies. Each man has something to teach the other about how to perform his priestly duties.

Space
Space is the boundless three-dimensional extent in which objects and events have relative position and direction. Physical space is often conceived in three linear dimensions, although modern physicists usually consider it, with time, to be part of a boundless four-dimensional continuum known as spacetime. The concept of space is considered to be of fundamental importance to an understanding of the physical universe. However, disagreement continues between philosophers over whether it is itself an entity, a relationship between entities, or part of a conceptual framework.

"There's a certain thing in your brain, that once you unlock your confidence, and you know you're good, itts over." Ao says Smokepurpp, the Florida rapper who started recording tracks on his Apple headphone mic two years ago. So how, exactly, did he unlock his confidence? The secret is revealed in MASS APPEAL's latest Open Space interview, which you can watch above. "It was weird," Purpp recalls. "I watched the Lil Wayne documentary on shrooms, and it was the craziest experience. I watched how he was acting, and he looked so confident... that sparked my brain. I realized, like, 'Yo, all you gotta do is be confident. If you're confident, people are gonna be confident for you.' " Since then the so-called "Soundcloud Rapper" has inked a record deal with Interscope's Alamo Records imprint, and is now preparing to release his highly anticipated Deadstar project. "I started as a producer," he says. "I started rapping cause nobody used my beats. I was just rapping for fun, but people were fuckin' with it." He began skipping school to make music and eventually got kicked out. Purpp says he has enough credits to graduate but at this point he's not bothered. After all, as he points out, "I'd probably make more money than a doctor." There is no doubt that Florida's rap scene is popping in a major way at the moment. "We all knew each other—every single one of us," says SmokePurpp. "They actually started the scene—XXX, Lil Pump, Wifi, Skimask, Slumpgod. And there's a lot more people coming up that people don't even know about. They literally built a scene until it was overflowing. It got to a point where it was everywhere—like, everybody's from Florida. That's just how it happened. It was an eruption." Purpp says the new wave of Florida rappers all share a certain rawness. "Sometimes we might make a song where we're screaming," he explains. "It's not mixed or nothing. You don't care if the beat is distorted. You just let it hit—just punch. That whole distortion sound... people really feel it." Purpp shares the story of how another Florida upstart, his best friend Lil Pump, reluctantly got started in the rap game. "Nowadays rap is not just about rap," Purpp explains. "It's also being able to entertain. If you wanna make money you gotta be able to put on a good show." He believed Pump had the right stuff, but Pump wasn't interested. "He was like 'I don't care about that. I don't wanna do that'," Purpp recalls. "But he was already on Twitter being a character. I said 'You should rap bro. You got a persona.' I told him 'Bro, you're Lil Pump Jetskiii!'" His friend was immediately sparked. 'Yo—that shit sounds raw as fuck!' " he said, and the rest is history. The new moniker unlocked his confidence, if you will. These days Purpp doesn't have a care in the world. Just don't mix him up with Spaceghostpurpp, with whom has had a certain amount of Twitter beef. "All those 'Fuck Purpps'' are not about me," he clarifies. "They're about fuckin' him. Let that be known, and stop askin'. Let that shit be straight. Replay that shit and put it in slow fuckin' motion."

"I was like, 'Damn, no more football. So what you gon' do now Maxo?'" the Houston native tells MASS APPEAL about his career-ending hip injury, which forced him to look at different paths in life. His initial move into music was encouraged by early connections with Travis Scott. "Bro, you need to fuckin' make beats!" Maxo quotes Travis telling him, while giving some background on his early beginnings and even making fun of his own old rhymes. "I feel like when Houston come out, everybody comes out in a wave, and when everybody do come out, everybody fuckin' with each other," he says of the local scene there. As an explanation for his latest project, The Persona Tape, he offers this gem: "Some people work at MASS APPEAL. Some rock jewelry, fuck on hoes, pipe the fuck up. That's my persona. It's just about who you is bro." Some of his biggest inspirations were Slick Rick, Tupac, and The Notorious B.I.G; but he also includes getting into trouble, being kicked out of his house, and experiencing Hurricane Katrina. These were all important factors that molded him into the artist he is today. "I feel like I'm one of the best story tellers of the new generation," he says, going on to elaborate about his future plans of starting a label and having kids (even though he don't trust these hoes). "I wanna be rich and free. Out of jail and alive."

Open Space: $uicideboy$
In the latest episode of "Open Space," we hook up with Ruby Da Cherry and $uicide Christ, a pair of cousins from the 7th Ward of New Orleans, collectively known as the punk rap duo $uicideBoy$. “A lot of people take it as emo, or depressed music, or negative music,” says $uicide Christ from behind white-framed shades. Their moniker alone is likely enough to evoke negative thoughts, but the candid rapper tells MASS APPEAL during the $uicideBoy$’s new episode of “Open Space” that there’s a reason for the dark undertones. “It’s really just connecting. It’s therapy, through music.” Ruby Da Cherry adds, “That actual substance of the lyrics, yeah, it’s depressing as shit. But if you’re depressed as fuck and you listen to that song, you’ll definitely feel a lot better knowing that somebody is ...

Signed to Yo Gotti's CMG imprint, Youngsta recently founded his own Heavy Camp label. "I'm blessed! I'm happy, bro! It scare me at times. Sometimes I just get scared. Like, I know I ain't got Jay Z money and Gotti money. But Bruh—I'm good. I'm satisfied. I'm happy with where my life taking me."

Open Space: Xavier Wulf
Xavier Wulf was ahead of his time. As a former member of Raider Klan squad, him and his people laid the groundwork for a lot of artists. "Any new artist that came out since 2013, they followed our blueprint," Wulf says. "That's if they stayed independent." And being independent is key. The Memphis rapper had people checking for him before anyone knew what was going on. Soundcloud even called him to try and figure out how he grew such a large fan base. But it paid off, literally: They started giving him money. "I was the first nigga getting Soundcloud checks," he says. Now every kid is using Soundcloud. He's not even mad at the term Soundcloud rapper. How could he be? "I'm an OG in the shit," is how he sees it. If he was just entering the scene, then it might be a different story, though....

In the latest episode of "Open Space," we hook up with Ruby Da Cherry and $uicide Christ, a pair of cousins from the 7th Ward of New Orleans, collectively known as the punk rap duo $uicideBoy$.
“A lot of people take it as emo, or depressed music, or negative music,” says $uicide Christ from behind white-framed shades. Their moniker alone is likely enough to evoke negative thoughts, but the candid rapper tells MASS APPEAL during the $uicideBoy$’s new episode of “Open Space” that there’s a reason for the dark undertones. “It’s really just connecting. It’s therapy, through music.”
Ruby Da Cherry adds, “That actual substance of the lyrics, yeah, it’s depressing as shit. But if you’re depressed as fuck and you listen to that song, you’ll definitely feel a lot better knowing that somebody is going through the same shit, if not worse.”
In that sentiment lies the modus operandi of the $uicideBoy$. During the interview, Ruby and $uicide discuss their early inspirations—Cash Money for Ruby, Three 6 Mafia for $uicide—including an interesting anecdote from Ruby, who ditched rap at an early age and didn’t return to it until he’d discovered Wu-Tang and N.W.A, who weren’t as into “material bullshit” as the artists that nudged him away from hip hop and into punk rock. In hindsight, Ruby tells MASS APPEAL, that was a pivotal time in the birth of $uicideBoy$.
So was an ultimatum that $uicide Christ once gave himself: “This doesn’t happen by the time I’m 30, I’m blowing my head off.” By “this,” $uicide meant success with his music endeavors. The duo’s latest release, “Pictures” featuring Atlanta rapper Maxo Kream, is nearing the 1.5 million mark on Soundcloud. It’s safe to say they’re well on their way.

"I pray God don't never take this shit from me," says Blac Youngsta, the Memphis rapper whose infectious personality threatened to upstage Lil Yachty in their recent music video "Hip Hopper." Signed to Yo Gotti's CMG imprint, Youngsta recently founded his own Heavy Camp label. "I'm blessed! I'm happy, bro! It scare me at times. Sometimes I just get scared. Like, I know I ain't got Jay Z money and Gotti money. But Bruh—I'm good. I'm satisfied. I'm happy with where my life taking me."
During a recent visit to MASS APPEAL HQ, Youngsta took time out for an Open Space interview—and soon turned the video chat into a prayer meeting. "God thank you for everything you done for me," Blac Youngsta said, he head bowed down low. "Thank you for watching over me when I go in these clubs, watching over my fans. Thank you for believing in me, cause I know you been doin' it from the get go. Thank you for placing me right here, to do this interview with one of the most major-est peoples in the game right now, MASS APPEAL... Thank you Jesus. Amen."
Elsewhere in the interview, Youngsta opened up about overcoming hard times as a youth growing up in Memphis. "I never cared about doing homework," he admits. "I never cared about going to school. I never cared about that. I had other shit on my mind. To feed my little brothers. To make sure grandma can pay this rent next month. Things that a child should not have to be worried about. So a lot of people misunderstood me. They under-estimate me real hard."
He describes his song "One Bedroom House" as a realistic account of his struggle, what he calls Memphis real. "I come from the hood," he explains. "A lot of people don't know, I was po. Like, I literally had nothing. I come from nothing. I'm like the underdog. So I had to work at the store for food, bro. People worked for money. I never worked for money. I worked for food." He says he's still trying to move his grandmother out the one-bedroom house where he grew up. "The same little raggedy house in the hood," he says. "And I'm a millionaire now."
In recent weeks, Youngsta has been in the news for turning himself in to police investigating a shooting that targeted Memphis rapper Young Dolph. Youngsta steadfastly maintains his innocence —humorously pointing out that there's an expensive watch on his wrist, not handcuffs. He also says that "Birthday," the first song he released after being released from custody, is "true facts." The chorus of the song was just something catchy," he says, but the verses are "how I can explain what's really goin' on."
As Blac Youngsta puts it, "I went through some shit, bruh, to get to where I'm at." With that said, he's seen enough to be able to tell what's really important. "I don't give a fuck what nobody think about me," he says. "When I first came in the care I used to care when they speak on me. What niggas say about me and shit. Now I just don't care. God blessed me, bro. What more do I have to ask for?" Peep the full video up top.

"Me and him and very few other people started a whole generation of Soundcloud rappers," UnoTheActivist tells Mass Appeal at the beginning of his new Open Space interview alongside the homie Thouxanbanfauni. "At first, dropping a song on Soundcloud didn't mean shit."
The 20-year-old rapper from Atlanta sits down for the camera to relate his quick come up, the divide between younger and older heads, the crib he had at 18 and is now banned from, and what to expect from his upcoming project, Live.Shyne.Die. "This is serious music, not no bubblegum rap," he says. (Also worth noting: Fauni came through with a pair of ultra-rare Vlone AF1s.)

And being independent is key. The Memphis rapper had people checking for him before anyone knew what was going on. Soundcloud even called him to try and figure out how he grew such a large fan base. But it paid off, literally: They started giving him money. "I was the first nigga getting Soundcloud checks," he says.
Now every kid is using Soundcloud. He's not even mad at the term Soundcloud rapper. How could he be? "I'm an OG in the shit," is how he sees it. If he was just entering the scene, then it might be a different story, though. He's not sure how he'd feel about the underground from that perspective. But it's progressing, and he says labels are starting to catch onto the whole wave.
While he's still fam with the Klan, he's moved on and started his own team, the HollowSquad. He also left behind the alias Ethelwulf, which he saw as a different character, a more wild one. "Xavier is more grown," he explains. "Still crazy, but more collected crazy."
The Xavier sound is punk rap, or heavy metal rap; full of references to anime and cars. He even created a mixtape, Project X, around a car he built for drifting. But mainly it's about the energy. It's high energy, head banging, crowd surfing music. "It's what any kids going through anything need to hear in order to help them out of that." And he says fans thank him for helping them through difficult periods frequently: "That makes me feel good."

"There's a certain thing in your brain, that once you unlock your confidence, and you know you're good, itts over." Ao says Smokepurpp, the Florida rapper who started recording tracks on his Apple headphone mic two years ago.
So how, exactly, did he unlock his confidence? The secret is revealed in MASS APPEAL's latest Open Space interview, which you can watch above.
"It was weird," Purpp recalls. "I watched the Lil Wayne documentary on shrooms, and it was the craziest experience. I watched how he was acting, and he looked so confident... that sparked my brain. I realized, like, 'Yo, all you gotta do is be confident. If you're confident, people are gonna be confident for you.' " Since then the so-called "Soundcloud Rapper" has inked a record deal with Interscope's Alamo Records imprint, and is now preparing to release his highly anticipated Deadstar project.
"I started as a producer," he says. "I started rapping cause nobody used my beats. I was just rapping for fun, but people were fuckin' with it." He began skipping school to make music and eventually got kicked out. Purpp says he has enough credits to graduate but at this point he's not bothered. After all, as he points out, "I'd probably make more money than a doctor."
There is no doubt that Florida's rap scene is popping in a major way at the moment. "We all knew each other—every single one of us," says SmokePurpp. "They actually started the scene—XXX, Lil Pump, Wifi, Skimask, Slumpgod. And there's a lot more people coming up that people don't even know about. They literally built a scene until it was overflowing. It got to a point where it was everywhere—like, everybody's from Florida. That's just how it happened. It was an eruption."
Purpp says the new wave of Florida rappers all share a certain rawness. "Sometimes we might make a song where we're screaming," he explains. "It's not mixed or nothing. You don't care if the beat is distorted. You just let it hit—just punch. That whole distortion sound... people really feel it."
Purpp shares the story of how another Florida upstart, his best friend Lil Pump, reluctantly got started in the rap game. "Nowadays rap is not just about rap," Purpp explains. "It's also being able to entertain. If you wanna make money you gotta be able to put on a good show." He believed Pump had the right stuff, but Pump wasn't interested. "He was like 'I don't care about that. I don't wanna do that'," Purpp recalls. "But he was already on Twitter being a character. I said 'You should rap bro. You got a persona.' I told him 'Bro, you're Lil Pump Jetskiii!'" His friend was immediately sparked. 'Yo—that shit sounds raw as fuck!' " he said, and the rest is history. The new moniker unlocked his confidence, if you will.
These days Purpp doesn't have a care in the world. Just don't mix him up with Spaceghostpurpp, with whom has had a certain amount of Twitter beef. "All those 'Fuck Purpps'' are not about me," he clarifies. "They're about fuckin' him. Let that be known, and stop askin'. Let that shit be straight. Replay that shit and put it in slow fuckin' motion."

"I was like, 'Damn, no more football. So what you gon' do now Maxo?'" the Houston native tells MASS APPEAL about his career-ending hip injury, which forced him to look at different paths in life. His initial move into music was encouraged by early connections with Travis Scott. "Bro, you need to fuckin' make beats!" Maxo quotes Travis telling him, while giving some background on his early beginnings and even making fun of his own old rhymes.
"I feel like when Houston come out, everybody comes out in a wave, and when everybody do come out, everybody fuckin' with each other," he says of the local scene there.
As an explanation for his latest project, The Persona Tape, he offers this gem: "Some people work at MASS APPEAL. Some rock jewelry, fuck on hoes, pipe the fuck up. That's my persona. It's just about who you is bro." Some of his biggest inspirations were Slick Rick, Tupac, and The Notorious B.I.G; but he also includes getting into trouble, being kicked out of his house, and experiencing Hurricane Katrina. These were all important factors that molded him into the artist he is today.
"I feel like I'm one of the best story tellers of the new generation," he says, going on to elaborate about his future plans of starting a label and having kids (even though he don't trust these hoes). "I wanna be rich and free. Out of jail and alive."

Open Space: $uicideboy$
In the latest episode of "Open Space," we hook up with Ruby Da Cherry and $uicide Christ, a pair of cousins from the 7th Ward of New Orleans, collectively known as the punk rap duo $uicideBoy$. “A lot of people take it as emo, or depressed music, or negative music,” says $uicide Christ from behind white-framed shades. Their moniker alone is likely enough to evoke negative thoughts, but the candid rapper tells MASS APPEAL during the $uicideBoy$’s new episode of “Open Space” that there’s a reason for the dark undertones. “It’s really just connecting. It’s therapy, through music.” Ruby Da Cherry adds, “That actual substance of the lyrics, yeah, it’s depressing as shit. But if you’re depressed as fuck and you listen to that song, you’ll definitely feel a lot better knowing that somebody is ...

Open Space: Blac Youngsta
"I pray God don't never take this shit from me," says Blac Youngsta, the Memphis rapper whose infectious personality threatened to upstage Lil Yachty in their recent music video "Hip Hopper." Signed to Yo Gotti's CMG imprint, Youngsta recently founded his own Heavy Camp label. "I'm blessed! I'm happy, bro! It scare me at times. Sometimes I just get scared. Like, I know I ain't got Jay Z money and Gotti money. But Bruh—I'm good. I'm satisfied. I'm happy with where my life taking me." During a recent visit to MASS APPEAL HQ, Youngsta took time out for an Open Space interview—and soon turned the video chat into a prayer meeting. "God thank you for everything you done for me," Blac Youngsta said, he head bowed down low. "Thank you for watching over me when I go in these clubs, watching over m...

In the latest Open Space, Mass Appeal linked with UnoTheActivist and Thouxanbanfauni. "Me and him and very few other people started a whole generation of Soundcloud rappers," UnoTheActivist tells Mass Appeal at the beginning of his new Open Space interview alongside the homie Thouxanbanfauni. "At first, dropping a song on Soundcloud didn't mean shit." The 20-year-old rapper from Atlanta sits down for the camera to relate his quick come up, the divide between younger and older heads, the crib he had at 18 and is now banned from, and what to expect from his upcoming project, Live.Shyne.Die. "This is serious music, not no bubblegum rap," he says. (Also worth noting: Fauni came through with a pair of ultra-rare Vlone AF1s.)

In the latest episode of "Open Space," we hook up with Ruby Da Cherry and $uicide Christ, a pair of cousins from the 7th Ward of New Orleans, collectively known as the punk rap duo $uicideBoy$.
“A lot of people take it as emo, or depressed music, or negative music,” says $uicide Christ from behind white-framed shades. Their moniker alone is likely enough to evoke negative thoughts, but the candid rapper tells MASS APPEAL during the $uicideBoy$’s new episode of “Open Space” that there’s a reason for the dark undertones. “It’s really just connecting. It’s therapy, through music.”
Ruby Da Cherry adds, “That actual substance of the lyrics, yeah, it’s depressing as shit. But if you’re depressed as fuck and you listen to that song, you’ll definitely feel a lot better knowing that somebody is going through the same shit, if not worse.”
In that sentiment lies the modus operandi of the $uicideBoy$. During the interview, Ruby and $uicide discuss their early inspirations—Cash Money for Ruby, Three 6 Mafia for $uicide—including an interesting anecdote from Ruby, who ditched rap at an early age and didn’t return to it until he’d discovered Wu-Tang and N.W.A, who weren’t as into “material bullshit” as the artists that nudged him away from hip hop and into punk rock. In hindsight, Ruby tells MASS APPEAL, that was a pivotal time in the birth of $uicideBoy$.
So was an ultimatum that $uicide Christ once gave himself: “This doesn’t happen by the time I’m 30, I’m blowing my head off.” By “this,” $uicide meant success with his music endeavors. The duo’s latest release, “Pictures” featuring Atlanta rapper Maxo Kream, is nearing the 1.5 million mark on Soundcloud. It’s safe to say they’re well on their way.

Ruby Da Cherry adds, “That actual substance of the lyrics, yeah, it’s depressing as shit. But if you’re depressed as fuck and you listen to that song, you’ll definitely feel a lot better knowing that somebody is going through the same shit, if not worse.”
In that sentiment lies the modus operandi of the $uicideBoy$. During the interview, Ruby and $uicide discuss their early inspirations—Cash Money for Ruby, Three 6 Mafia for $uicide—including an interesting anecdote from Ruby, who ditched rap at an early age and didn’t return to it until he’d discovered Wu-Tang and N.W.A, who weren’t as into “material bullshit” as the artists that nudged him away from hip hop and into punk rock. In hindsight, Ruby tells MASS APPEAL, that was a pivotal time in the birth of $uicideBoy$.
So was an ultimatum that $uicide Christ once gave himself: “This doesn’t happen by the time I’m 30, I’m blowing my head off.” By “this,” $uicide meant success with his music endeavors. The duo’s latest release, “Pictures” featuring Atlanta rapper Maxo Kream, is nearing the 1.5 million mark on Soundcloud. It’s safe to say they’re well on their way.

"I pray God don't never take this shit from me," says Blac Youngsta, the Memphis rapper whose infectious personality threatened to upstage Lil Yachty in their recent music video "Hip Hopper." Signed to Yo Gotti's CMG imprint, Youngsta recently founded his own Heavy Camp label. "I'm blessed! I'm happy, bro! It scare me at times. Sometimes I just get scared. Like, I know I ain't got Jay Z money and Gotti money. But Bruh—I'm good. I'm satisfied. I'm happy with where my life taking me."
During a recent visit to MASS APPEAL HQ, Youngsta took time out for an Open Space interview—and soon turned the video chat into a prayer meeting. "God thank you for everything you done for me," Blac Youngsta said, he head bowed down low. "Thank you for watching over me when I go in these clubs, watching over my fans. Thank you for believing in me, cause I know you been doin' it from the get go. Thank you for placing me right here, to do this interview with one of the most major-est peoples in the game right now, MASS APPEAL... Thank you Jesus. Amen."
Elsewhere in the interview, Youngsta opened up about overcoming hard times as a youth growing up in Memphis. "I never cared about doing homework," he admits. "I never cared about going to school. I never cared about that. I had other shit on my mind. To feed my little brothers. To make sure grandma can pay this rent next month. Things that a child should not have to be worried about. So a lot of people misunderstood me. They under-estimate me real hard."
He describes his song "One Bedroom House" as a realistic account of his struggle, what he calls Memphis real. "I come from the hood," he explains. "A lot of people don't know, I was po. Like, I literally had nothing. I come from nothing. I'm like the underdog. So I had to work at the store for food, bro. People worked for money. I never worked for money. I worked for food." He says he's still trying to move his grandmother out the one-bedroom house where he grew up. "The same little raggedy house in the hood," he says. "And I'm a millionaire now."
In recent weeks, Youngsta has been in the news for turning himself in to police investigating a shooting that targeted Memphis rapper Young Dolph. Youngsta steadfastly maintains his innocence —humorously pointing out that there's an expensive watch on his wrist, not handcuffs. He also says that "Birthday," the first song he released after being released from custody, is "true facts." The chorus of the song was just something catchy," he says, but the verses are "how I can explain what's really goin' on."
As Blac Youngsta puts it, "I went through some shit, bruh, to get to where I'm at." With that said, he's seen enough to be able to tell what's really important. "I don't give a fuck what nobody think about me," he says. "When I first came in the care I used to care when they speak on me. What niggas say about me and shit. Now I just don't care. God blessed me, bro. What more do I have to ask for?" Peep the full video up top.

In the latest Open Space, Mass Appeal linked with UnoTheActivist and Thouxanbanfauni.
"Me and him and very few other people started a whole generation of Soundcloud rappers," UnoTheActivist tells Mass Appeal at the beginning of his new Open Space interview alongside the homie Thouxanbanfauni. "At first, dropping a song on Soundcloud didn't mean shit."
The 20-year-old rapper from Atlanta sits down for the camera to relate his quick come up, the divide between younger and older heads, the crib he had at 18 and is now banned from, and what to expect from his upcoming project, Live.Shyne.Die. "This is serious music, not no bubblegum rap," he says. (Also worth noting: Fauni came through with a pair of ultra-rare Vlone AF1s.)

Xavier Wulf was ahead of his time. As a former member of Raider Klan squad, him and his people laid the groundwork for a lot of artists. "Any new artist that came out since 2013, they followed our blueprint," Wulf says. "That's if they stayed independent."
And being independent is key. The Memphis rapper had people checking for him before anyone knew what was going on. Soundcloud even called him to try and figure out how he grew such a large fan base. But it paid off, literally: They started giving him money. "I was the first nigga getting Soundcloud checks," he says.
Now every kid is using Soundcloud. He's not even mad at the term Soundcloud rapper. How could he be? "I'm an OG in the shit," is how he sees it. If he was just entering the scene, then it might be a different story, though. He's not sure how he'd feel about the underground from that perspective. But it's progressing, and he says labels are starting to catch onto the whole wave.
While he's still fam with the Klan, he's moved on and started his own team, the HollowSquad. He also left behind the alias Ethelwulf, which he saw as a different character, a more wild one. "Xavier is more grown," he explains. "Still crazy, but more collected crazy."
The Xavier sound is punk rap, or heavy metal rap; full of references to anime and cars. He even created a mixtape, Project X, around a car he built for drifting. But mainly it's about the energy. It's high energy, head banging, crowd surfing music. "It's what any kids going through anything need to hear in order to help them out of that." And he says fans thank him for helping them through difficult periods frequently: "That makes me feel good."

"There's a certain thing in your brain, that once you unlock your confidence, and you know you're good, itts over." Ao says Smokepurpp, the Florida rapper who started recording tracks on his Apple headphone mic two years ago.
So how, exactly, did he unlock his confidence? The secret is revealed in MASS APPEAL's latest Open Space interview, which you can watch above.
"It was weird," Purpp recalls. "I watched the Lil Wayne documentary on shrooms, and it was the craziest experience. I watched how he was acting, and he looked so confident... that sparked my brain. I realized, like, 'Yo, all you gotta do is be confident. If you're confident, people are gonna be confident for you.' " Since then the so-called "Soundcloud Rapper" has inked a record deal with Interscope's Alamo Records imprint, and is now preparing to release his highly anticipated Deadstar project.
"I started as a producer," he says. "I started rapping cause nobody used my beats. I was just rapping for fun, but people were fuckin' with it." He began skipping school to make music and eventually got kicked out. Purpp says he has enough credits to graduate but at this point he's not bothered. After all, as he points out, "I'd probably make more money than a doctor."
There is no doubt that Florida's rap scene is popping in a major way at the moment. "We all knew each other—every single one of us," says SmokePurpp. "They actually started the scene—XXX, Lil Pump, Wifi, Skimask, Slumpgod. And there's a lot more people coming up that people don't even know about. They literally built a scene until it was overflowing. It got to a point where it was everywhere—like, everybody's from Florida. That's just how it happened. It was an eruption."
Purpp says the new wave of Florida rappers all share a certain rawness. "Sometimes we might make a song where we're screaming," he explains. "It's not mixed or nothing. You don't care if the beat is distorted. You just let it hit—just punch. That whole distortion sound... people really feel it."
Purpp shares the story of how another Florida upstart, his best friend Lil Pump, reluctantly got started in the rap game. "Nowadays rap is not just about rap," Purpp explains. "It's also being able to entertain. If you wanna make money you gotta be able to put on a good show." He believed Pump had the right stuff, but Pump wasn't interested. "He was like 'I don't care about that. I don't wanna do that'," Purpp recalls. "But he was already on Twitter being a character. I said 'You should rap bro. You got a persona.' I told him 'Bro, you're Lil Pump Jetskiii!'" His friend was immediately sparked. 'Yo—that shit sounds raw as fuck!' " he said, and the rest is history. The new moniker unlocked his confidence, if you will.
These days Purpp doesn't have a care in the world. Just don't mix him up with Spaceghostpurpp, with whom has had a certain amount of Twitter beef. "All those 'Fuck Purpps'' are not about me," he clarifies. "They're about fuckin' him. Let that be known, and stop askin'. Let that shit be straight. Replay that shit and put it in slow fuckin' motion."

"I was like, 'Damn, no more football. So what you gon' do now Maxo?'" the Houston native tells MASS APPEAL about his career-ending hip injury, which forced him to look at different paths in life. His initial move into music was encouraged by early connections with Travis Scott. "Bro, you need to fuckin' make beats!" Maxo quotes Travis telling him, while giving some background on his early beginnings and even making fun of his own old rhymes.
"I feel like when Houston come out, everybody comes out in a wave, and when everybody do come out, everybody fuckin' with each other," he says of the local scene there.
As an explanation for his latest project, The Persona Tape, he offers this gem: "Some people work at MASS APPEAL. Some rock jewelry, fuck on hoes, pipe the fuck up. That's my persona. It's just about who you is bro." Some of his biggest inspirations were Slick Rick, Tupac, and The Notorious B.I.G; but he also includes getting into trouble, being kicked out of his house, and experiencing Hurricane Katrina. These were all important factors that molded him into the artist he is today.
"I feel like I'm one of the best story tellers of the new generation," he says, going on to elaborate about his future plans of starting a label and having kids (even though he don't trust these hoes). "I wanna be rich and free. Out of jail and alive."

Open Space, Freak Of Nature
Open Space
Feel like an animal caged in a zoo
There's always someone watching what it is I do
Can't find a place to hide escape from it all
Ain't got no wings to fly, can only crawl
I'm gonna leave get up and go
Just put it all behind don't wanna know
Give me an open space where I may roam
A sacred place to build my home
Run me a river wild of melting snow
And wings to fly from high to low
Don't feel safe at home chain and bolt the door
Under my pillow ies a loaded.44
Can smell the dirty streets rotting away
Can hear my neighbour beat his wife everyday
Don't wanna stay, I gotta get away
Can't stand this living hell another day
Give me an open space where I may roam
A sacred place to build my home
Run me a river wild of melting snow
And wings to fly from high to low
Give me an open space where I may roam
A sacred place to build my home
Run me a river wild of melting snow
And wings to fly from high to low
There is no escape from mass population
People living more like ants everyday
You cannot prevent world devastation
As cities crumbles to the ground
Give me an open space where I may roam
A sacred place to build my home
Run me a river wild of melting snow
And wings to fly from high to low
Give me an open space where I may roam
A sacred place to build my home
Run me a river wild of melting snow
