City Morgue on Tour
You're going to want to store up your energy before seeing City Morgue live so it can all be released when New York City's ZillaKami and SosMula take the stage. A City Morgue show can be a full contact experience. The group fuse nu-metal and trap to form their own horrorcore hip-hop, a style that's taken shape in tours where they've been featured and recently on the creation of the wild As Good as Dead tour. The duo supported Denzel Curry on the Florida rapper's Ta13oo tour in 2018 before jumping on $uicideboy$'s extensive 2019 Grey Day tour, where they shared the stage with other similarly off-kilter hip-hop acts like Shoreline Mafia, Curry, Trash Talk, Night Lovell, Germ and Pouya. Fiercely loyal fans follow City Morgue everywhere — to festival appearances and to stops on the As Good as Dead tour. A mosh pit with a nonstop engine is as common as rapping along to every lyric. Every time City Morgue plays, it's complex hip-hop with a hard metal edge.
City Morgue in Concert
The MC duo of ZillaKami and SosMula (né Junius Rogers and Vinicus Sosa) along with producer Bouabdallah Sami Nehari, aka Thraxx, make up City Morgue. Rogers grew up in Long Island, listening to metal acts like Korn and Slipknot, while Sosa came up in Harlem. Rogers became ZillaKami and started ghostwriting tracks for the embattled Tekashi 69 before breaking off into his own rap persona. He linked by chance with SosMula on the latter's first day home from jail and they started collaborating on music that they dropped on SoundCloud. At one point, City Morgue released a track every Sunday on the platform for nearly six months, building a devoted fan base in the process, sparking a hardcore rap movement and establishing what Noisey referred to as "New York's Most Shocking Rap Duo." They signed to UMG imprint Republic Records for the release of their 2018 debut, Hell or High Water, as well as the sophomore drop of late 2019's As Good as Dead, featuring the track "Draino" with Denzel Curry.
