Cold Hart

Cold Hart, born Jerick Quilisadio, is an American rapper, singer, and producer from Long Beach, California, now based in New York. He is a key member of GOTHBOICLIQUE, the loose collective of emo-rap and cloud-rap artists that helped define the melancholic, lo-fi internet rap sound of the mid-2010s alongside acts like Lil Peep and Fish Narc. Before settling into that scene, he produced under the name TrillKvlt and was briefly involved with TeamSESH before co-founding THRAXXHOUSE, another influential collective from that same underground rap ecosystem.

His music blends hazy, guitar-inflected beats with emotionally raw, often melancholic vocals, sitting at the intersection of rap, emo, and lo-fi pop — a sound that helped shape what would later be labeled emo rap or SoundCloud rap. As a producer, he also works under the alias Jayyeah, contributing beats both for his own tracks and for collaborators within his scene.

Songs such as «Dying», «Down for You», and «2AM» showcase his signature blend of downcast melody and confessional lyricism, themes that run throughout his catalog. Cold Hart's role within GOTHBOICLIQUE and the broader Long Beach and internet-rap underground has made him a recognizable figure in the emo-rap movement, valued both for his own releases and his behind-the-scenes production work.
