The iconic I Want To Die In New Orleans is $UICIDEBOY$‘ debut album and 43rd project. This record particularly makes more use of choruses and ad-libs than their usual work. It follows the boys making references to their hometown of New Orleans; multiple songs on the album feature an outro related to the city at the end of the track, segueing into the next.
The album was originally going to be named “I Don’t Want To Die In New Orleans”, the name change came as a shock when the boys posted this to their respective social media:
"We started recording this album in the beginning of 2017. Initially we wanted to write about our experiences on the road and express how our lives had become slightly more extravagant. When the original release date for the album approached, we realized that the album didn't capture that chapter of our lives correctly.
After traveling the globe on two back to back sold out world tours, amassing a fortune, spending an insane amount of money on drugs, losing friends, making enemies and witnessing this scene that we helped create turn into what it is now, we have decided that none of this fame or money will ever make us happy.
For a second there we thought it would.
Therefore, we are changing the album title to…"
Along with the switch of the name, they also announced around the same time that there would be no features on the album, tweeting: "0 features, 0 collabs, no one on this mortal plane is worthy".
Along with the album came a vinyl press, a CD copy and casette of every track, fit with the album artwork. However, the album was still uploaded to the boys respective streaming platform discographies and uploaded for free-listening on their Soundcloud.
The album also met with a tour, along with pop-up shops selling merchandise of which was also sold separately online.
