Band
Holds writing credit on 73 of 73 tracks
Yes. Every track on their studio albums is credited to the two members, Aristos Petrou and Scott Arceneaux Jr., and Arceneaux produces nearly all of it himself under the alias Budd Dwyer, so the writing and the beats both come from inside the duo. Outside names appear only where a specific track calls for one, and each is credited by name: Elmo Kennedy O'Connor co-wrote 'Fuck the Industry' on I Want to Die in New Orleans, Devin Phillion co-wrote 'Life Is But a Stream~' and 'The Number You Have Dialed Is Not In Service' on Long Term Effects of Suffering and 'Ashes of Luxury' on Sing Me a Lullaby, My Sweet Temptation, Eliot Dubock co-wrote 'Transgressions' and 'Us vs. Them' on New World Depression, and Karma-Ann Swanepoel is credited on 'The Light at the End of the Tunnel for $9.99 a Month' because it samples her song 'Once'.

Where $uicideboy$ sits on the scale from a pure performer (0%, sings songs written by others) to a complete author (100%, writes everything). The bright marker is their catalogue authorship score, plotted against other artists on the site.
Reference artists spread across the scale, closest by genre and era.
None of the signature songs above fall in this category.
The duo released EPs and mixtapes for five years before their first studio album, and there are dozens of them. Those, and the solo records each member has put out, sit outside the studio catalogue and are not listed here.

Data Insight
Ruby da Cherry and Scrim are both credited on all 73 tracks, with no gaps and no undocumented writers in the catalogue. On 56 of those tracks the pair are the only names on the song, which is rare for rap at this volume. Outside help is thin and concentrated: Sam Bo Bachrack appears on 9 tracks and nobody else clears 3. Thy Kingdom Come (2025) breaks the pattern hard, 9 of its 10 songs co-written, while the companion release Thy Will Be Done keeps 9 of 10 in-house.
Quick Facts
Creative Fingerprint
Petrou and Arceneaux take the writing credit together on every track of their studio albums while Arceneaux builds nearly all of the beats himself as Budd Dwyer, so outside names turn up only on the few songs carrying a co-writer, a guest producer or a cleared sample.
The Story
$uicideboy$ is an American hip-hop duo from New Orleans, formed in 2013 by cousins Aristos Petrou and Scott Arceneaux Jr. They built an audience on SoundCloud with beats they produced themselves, and they still run their own label, G*59 Records. Six studio albums in, they have put four records inside the Billboard 200 top ten without leaving the underground rap scene they came from.
