Suicideyear

Suicideyear, the moniker of producer James Prudhomme, is known for his innovative trap-influenced production style that blends elements of shoegaze and pop. After gaining recognition for his remix work, he signed with Software and released the Remembrance EP in 2014, followed by the ambitious album Color the Weather on LuckyMe Records in 2018. Prudhomme's music, though reflective and melancholic, carries a sense of hope and positivity.

Based in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, Suicideyear rose to prominence in the early 2010s with unofficial remixes for artists like A$AP Rocky and Drake. His self-titled debut mixtape in 2012 featured a remix of Three 6 Mafia's "Late Night Tip," setting the stage for the melancholic instrumental hip-hop productions showcased on his 2013 mixtape Japan. Collaborations with artists like Yung Lean and Main Attrakionz further solidified his reputation, leading to releases on labels like Software and LuckyMe Records.
