The duo of Ruby da Cherry and $crim (or whichever fanciful aliases they’ve happened upon lately) have gotten lots of mileage out of nihilism over the years, reconfiguring ’90s gothic trap for a new generation of hip-hop heads who favor the morose. Their sixth EP of 2023 doesn’t reinvent the wheel—the gorgeously melancholy beats, lyrical preoccupations with addiction, and songs titled like bleak haikus (“A Little Trauma Can Be Illuminating, and I’m Shining Like the Sun”) are all familiar. Still, here and there, something like acceptance creeps in through the cracks. “Not Even Ghosts Are This Empty” begins with sampled dialogue from the movie Troy: “The gods envy us because we’re mortal, because any moment might be our last. Everything is more beautiful because we’re doomed.”
