Trassh Vampire’s ‘Suicide!’ [REVIEW]

By Curtis Ashley / December 19, 2019

The Miami-based rapper is another addition to the “I Don’t Give A Fuck” Club. There is a line that is unquestionable proof of the absence of any fuck: “We out here, don’t ever give a fuck.” Case in point. The music as a whole, paired with the visuals that dropped the same day, tell you that Trassh is not an authorized retailer for fucks. It’s an eerie, yet visually appealing experience that fans are sure to enjoy.

And for an artist in a city as poppin’ as Atlanta to claim that they’re going to avoid the bullshit and stick to themselves, the words hold a lot more weight.
