All You Need To Know About $crim: Name, Age, Marriage Everything

Who Is $crim?

$crim is Scott Anthony Arceneaux Jr. rapper, producer, DJ, and one half of $uicideboy$. Born April 11, 1989 in Marrero, Louisiana and raised in New Orleans, he is the co-founder of G59 Records alongside his cousin Ruby da Cherry. Behind his mic name and multiple alter egos, $crim is also the primary producer of the entire $uicideboy$ catalog working under his production alias Budd Dwyer.

Early Life – Marrero, Louisiana

Scott Arceneaux Jr. grew up between Marrero, Louisiana where he was born and the streets of New Orleans, where the music that would eventually become $uicideboy$ began to take shape. He grew up alongside his cousin Aristos Petrou, who the world would come to know as Ruby da Cherry. Two cousins, one city, and very different paths toward the same destination.

How $crim Started Making Music

$crim started DJing at 13. He taught himself by ear inspired early by T-Pain and Kanye West and got his first laptop using money from selling drugs on the street. That laptop became the starting point for everything. He started attending Delgado Community College, where he picked up work DJing parties. Music was already the plan, he just had not found the format yet.

Between music sessions, he worked as a furniture salesman for three years, until his growing collection of hand tattoos got him fired. He also secured an in-house producer deal with Universal Republic, which gave him a foundation while he kept building his craft independently. None of these chapters were wasted. Everything fed into what $uicideboy$ would eventually become.

$uicideboy$ — Building G59 Records With Ruby da Cherry

In 2013, $crim and Ruby da Cherry were both at a crossroads broke, struggling, and searching for direction. They made a pact: pursue music seriously, or give up. That decision produced one of the most impactful independent careers in underground hip-hop history. They launched $uicideboy$ in 2014 and started releasing music on SoundCloud with no label backing, no radio support, and no industry plan.

In 2017 they formally launched G59 Records Grey 59, named after Highway 59 in New Orleans, as their permanent home. The label gave $crim, Ruby, and their wider roster complete creative freedom. Through G59, they signed and developed artists including Germ, Chetta, Shakewell, and Night Lovell building the underground label community that the Grey Family recognizes today.

$crim’s Alter Egos – One Person, Many Names

$crim raps under more names than almost any other artist in the underground scene. Each alter ego carries a different flow, a different lyrical angle, and a different energy, all coming from the same person.

ALTER EGO LIST:

• $crim: Primary stage name. The most recognized identity across all $uicideboy$ projects.
• $lick $loth: One of the earliest and most well-known alter egos. Aggressive, street-level energy.
• Suicide Christ: Early identity tied to the darker, more confrontational $uicideboy$ aesthetic.
• Budd Dwyer: Production alias. Named as a dark cultural reference. Responsible for producing the majority of the $uicideboy$ catalog.
• Yung $carecrow: One of several additional personas used across the Kill Yourself tape series and early releases.
• Charles Lee Ray · Tony with the Tommy · Northside Shawty: Further aliases used across tape series entries and collaborative projects.

The Budd Dwyer Side — $crim as a Producer

Almost the entire $uicideboy$ discography was produced by $crim under the alias Budd Dwyer. This is not a side credit, it is the foundation. Every beat, every atmospheric texture, every switch that makes $uicideboy$ sound like nothing else in underground hip-hop was built by the same person rapping over it. $crim does not separate the production from the performance. They are the same creative act.

Beyond $uicideboy$, $crim has produced for other artists, including Denzel Curry, Dash, and Juicy J. His production sensibility booming bass, dark atmosphere, and Memphis rap influence has become one of the defining sounds of the underground. The Budd Dwyer sound did not follow trends. It created them.

$crim Today — Sobriety, Faith and What Comes Next

$crim has been sober since February 2019, a journey he has spoken about openly in interviews and on his own music. At the peak of his addiction, he was using heavily and, by his own account, doing things he is not proud of to fund it. Getting sober was not a side note in his story. It was the turning point that made everything sense possible.

In April 2025, $crim publicly stated that his journey through recovery led him to believe in God, eventually converting to Christianity after years of weighing the evidence on his own terms. He mentioned having spent years studying, listening to debates, and reaching a conclusion that felt genuine rather than convenient. This chapter of his life is reflected in $uicideboy$’s recent work, particularly Thy Kingdom Come.

In February 2025, $crim married Sage. The Grey Day Tour 2026 was announced March 31, 2026, confirming that $uicideboy$ shows no sign of slowing down. $crim continues to produce, perform, and release music. The person who bought a laptop with drug money and licked envelopes at a New Orleans post office to ship early merch orders is still here and still building.
