The criminally rough “HEPATITIS G” tracks the three ending DIRTYNASTY$UICIDE with a song recollecting on the poorest and hazardous positions that the three endured growing up in an impoverished area. This song touches on self-harm, dirty and cheap drugs, and even references the book of Genesis in the Bible.

When I first heard “Hepatitis G” by $UICIDEBOY$ and Germ, I was immediately drawn to its raw energy and dark lyrics. The song starts off with a menacing intro by Lil Gin and Lil Keke, setting the tone for the rest of the track. YUNG CHRIST kicks off the first verse with his aggressive flow, proclaiming himself as the “Lord of doom” and the “king of gloom.” These lyrics paint a picture of someone who has experienced pain and darkness, and is now ready to inflict it on others.

The hook, delivered by Lil Gin and Lil Keke, adds to the overall atmosphere of the song. The repetition of the phrase “Niggas on banana peels, always gettin’ that bullet drill” emphasizes the violent nature of the world that $UICIDEBOY$ and Germ are describing.

Germ takes over the second verse and his lyrics further explore the darkness and violence portrayed in the song. He embraces the smell of rubbish and discusses his drug use, even mentioning tripping on acid. The line “Just let me run in gunnin’, front him, go lucky, faggot” showcases Germ’s unpredictable and dangerous behavior.

YUNG MUTT takes the third verse and continues the theme of violence and self-destruction. He raps about smoking blunts and cutting up guts, painting a picture of someone immersed in a world of drugs and violence.

The song ends with a sample from an episode of “Ross Kemp: Extreme World,” where two individuals discuss the violence in New Orleans. This sample adds a layer of reality to the song and reinforces the hardships faced by those living in impoverished areas.

For me, “Hepatitis G” resonates on a personal level because it reflects the harsh realities of growing up in a dangerous environment. The lyrics depict a world filled with violence, drugs, and despair. While I may not have experienced these exact circumstances, the song’s energy and intensity make me reflect on the challenges I have faced in my own life.

Overall, “Hepatitis G” by $UICIDEBOY$ and Germ is a powerful and haunting song that delves into the dark underbelly of society. Its aggressive lyrics and raw emotion make it a standout track on the DIRTYNASTY$UICIDE EP. Through its portrayal of violence and despair, the song serves as a reminder of the struggles faced by many and the need for compassion and understanding.
