Germ

Germ, born Jerry Antoine on 19 June 1991, is an American rapper based in Atlanta, Georgia, and signed to G*59 Records, the label run by $uicideboy$. Emerging from the underground horrorcore and trap scene, he first gained visibility through the Buffet Boys collective before establishing himself as a frequent collaborator and touring associate of $uicideboy$, whose dark, distortion-heavy aesthetic shaped much of his own output.

Tracks like «Han Solo», «DEATHWISH» and «Hellcat» reflect a raw, aggressive style built on grimy trap production, nihilistic and often confrontational lyrics, and a delivery that favors intensity over polish, aligning him with the SoundCloud-rap and underground rap ecosystem that grew alongside G*59's roster. His music draws on rap, pop-adjacent hooks and R&B-inflected melodic touches, giving tracks like «Bag Of Dope» a rougher, more chaotic edge than mainstream rap radio fare. Germ's profile has grown largely through this G*59 affiliation and his consistent presence in the label's collaborative releases and mixtapes, positioning him within a specific niche of underground hip-hop defined by its DIY ethos, dark themes and cult fan base rather than mainstream chart success.
