![]() “I woke up this morning and I asked myself: Is life worth living, should I blast myself? / And when I’m gone, would they remember? Only son of Deborah, born in late December,” Meechy raps on Trapped. Both he and Erick Arc Elliott write candidly about their experiences with suicidal thoughts, confronting the darkness that comes with being young, black and depressed. In 2013, local MC Capital Steez killed himself, a death that left Brooklyn’s rap community devastated. “When Steez passed, I realised that there’s a darkness that can follow any of us, and I’m never going to be the only one going through shit,” Erick says.
