Long Beach, Calif. native NameBrand has been grinding for a while. It's all definitely not for nothing if "Suicide City" is any indicator.

The dark single cover is a hint of the overall bleakness that undertones the track, but it doesn't quite foretell how compelling "Suicide City" is. NameBrand's high-pitch voice manages to encompass desperation and venom as Seige Monstracity's keys and persistent percussion soundtrack a high-tension atmosphere. From the remorse over his slain cousin ("Maybe he could change the outcome/ I'm sick of saying, 'How come?'") to hook's ode to the goons and the goblins, "Suicide City" is a lucid and memorable four minutes.
