The underground rapper Sematary stands at the crossroads of numerous different scenes, sounds and subcultures. From the first listen to one of his projects, you can hear influences of Chicago Drill of the 2010s in the explosive, bass-heavy 808s, shoegaze and black metal in the washed-out guitars and horrorcore in his dark, eerie bars and menacing album cover. Similar to artists like Yung Lean, it's hard to categorize him into a specific genre or subculture - but the hundreds of of millions of streams he's received on Spotify and Apple Music show that his volatile status in the current music scene is a strength, not a weakness.
