Comethazine

Comethazine, born Frankie Jahmier Childress in 1998, is a rapper from East St. Louis, Illinois, whose name blends his high-school nickname Cocaine with the drug Promethazine. He began rapping and recording in his own basement as a teenager, quitting his job as a mechanic to pursue music full time, and released his debut EP Aloe Vera in 2016.

Early tracks like «Run It», «Hella Choppers» and «Piped Up» built his SoundCloud following, but it was «Bands» that became his breakout hit, gaining a viral boost after being swapped in for another rapper's song through a SoundCloud audio-replacement exploit, which inflated its chart momentum. His aggressive, high-energy delivery over dark, minimal trap production became a signature within the rage/SoundCloud rap scene.

His debut mixtape Bawskee, released in 2018, cemented his reputation as one of the harder-edged voices to emerge from the late-2010s SoundCloud rap wave, known for blunt, adlib-heavy bars and an unapologetically raw aesthetic that influenced a generation of underground rap.
