"Carrollton" is a song by American hip hop duo Suicideboys, released on August 1, 2018, as the lead single from their debut studio album I Want to Die in New Orleans (2018).
Composition
[edit]The song has been described as a "dirty-south banger with hyper-distorted, deadpanned vocals reminiscent of Marilyn Manson."[1] It opens with an intro from rapper Juicy J and contains distorted bass and "ominous" bells within the beat, with depression and horror-themed lyrics that additionally detail the duo's indulgences in wealth.[2]
Critical reception
[edit]Devin Ch of HotNewHipHop wrote "The message on 'Carrollton' is a part of a well-aimed contingency to connect with Society's outliers. I should preface that 'connect' is a term imbued with irony. The only thing idiomatic about lyrics like 'slap my face against a pill to crush it up' is the non-compliance act you the listener wrote into the script."[3]
