Emo rapper sadeyes releases his new single “toothfairy” from his upcoming EP patient death. It drops on May, 12. patient death is the latest addition to a growing, scene playlist of emo rap, blending two genres that may have always meant to be together.
The 23-year-old Portland native’s new song leans into maximalist production with the track building on a foundation of glistening synths and effervescent textures interrupted by syncopated bass drops. The vocals are painfully honest. The emotional lyricism from sadeyes is completely on display.

“Progress isn’t linear. This EP is a reflection of me taking a new path to progression,” Lewis explains.
