Expect to hear the villainous giggle of a young child that’s been possessed—perhaps even akin to that of horror icon Chucky—on the latest mixtape from Chuckyy, the 19-year-old rapper from Chicago who loves nothing more than an eerie instrumental. I Live, I Die, I Live Again summons that laughter like a producer would his shameless tag, but, here, it acts as further scene setting for Chuckyy’s dark, haunting songs. Led by the viral hit “My World,” the 11-track mixtape has a surprisingly light touch on drill given the heavy aesthetics it channels.

Youth Code: Yours, With Malice EP [Sumerian]
Youth Code—the whiplash industrial EBM duo of multi-instrumentalists Sara Taylor and Ryan George—return with their first record in four years. Yours, With Malice thrashes wildly across its brief runtime. A combination of intricate, warped beats and unfiltered vocal impulses, Yours, With Malice harkens back to the brooding electronica of early 1990s industrial records by the likes of Nine Inch Nails and Ministry, and is a welcome return by Youth Code following A Skeleton Key in the Doors of Depression, their 2021 collaboration with King Yosef.
