10 New Rappers With The Most Ridiculous Names

The names are getting more and more absurd, but don't let that stop you from listening to the music.

Ridiculous rap names aren't new: Ol' Dirty Bastard, Swollen Members, Lil Bow Wow, Ski Mask The Slump God—the list goes on. But in recent years, absurd rap names have ventured into new territory of ridiculousness. Don't let that deter you from checking out the music, because some of it is actually good. Here are some of the most ridiculous new rapper names that we're aware of right now. Let us know who we missed.

lilwaterbed

Houston's lilwaterbed calls himself the "#1 disco artist of eternity." He's still got under 5,000 followers on SoundCloud, but several of his tracks have tens of thousands of plays, and songs like "fly away" have a dreamy, euphoric quality to them that sets him apart from so many of the ridiculously named rappers who lean toward shock and a more in-your-face approach.

leavemealone

leavemealone

leavemealone sounds like the name of an emo band, but the music on his SoundCloud ranges from traditional hip-hop to the loud, overblown bass stuff that's becoming so common these days. There's some more low-key, acoustic, and melodic music mixed in too. Many of his most popular songs are the noisy ones with names like "COCAINE&COBAIN" or "PU$$Y," but some of his less abrasive stuff shows his potential as a versatile artist in the vein of XXXTentacion, with a knack for raw but compelling production and introspective lyrics.

ITSOKTOCRY

ITSOKTOCRY

Five years ago, it would be hard to imagine a green-haired, face-tatted, white rapper named ITSOKTOCRY, but in 2018 it makes perfect sense. ITSOKTOCRY has worked with Nick Prosper, Lil Peep, and Zillakami, and he's racked up big plays on both SoundCloud and Spotify. He just released a project called PASTELGORE.

lilbootycall

lbc

Texas rapper lilbootycall may have one of the most outlandish names in the game, but its origins come from a real and possibly relatable place. The young artist felt like both his friends and women alike only reached out to him when their original plans fell through, like a last minute booty call. LBC wasn't alone in his feelings, as he's gained quite the following on SoundCloud and has racked up millions of plays on songs like "sailor moon."

BOOTYCHAAAIN

BOOTYCHAAAIN

If you don't know about tread music, check this article out. BOOTYCHAAAIN's name is attention-grabbing, and all the extra letters just add to it, but it's a sick name, and the music is cool too. Plus it's fun to say. BOOTYCHAAAIN.

Lil Toenail

Lil Toenail

Lil Toenail is from West Palm Beach and he's been steadily growing a buzz over the past year. All of his songs on SoundCloud have hundreds of thousands of plays, and his social media antics help grab him attention, whether positive or negative. He wears a mask and a foot costume and his music is loud and vulgar, but he's trying to spread some positivity, too. In an interview with RESPECT, he explained, "I want to motivate people to stay away from drugs. I understand there is people who are truly addicted to drugs, but I want to help fix that issue too."

Leeky Bandz

Leeky Bandz

Leeky Bandz is a rapper from the Lower East Side in New York, and he's included here because 1) we had to many "lils" in here, and 2) he's got some good music. There's some classic New York grit here, but one look through his SoundCloud yields some interesting flows. "Pocket Rocket" is a new favorite, but I have no idea what a Leeky Band is.

Lil House Phone

Lil House Phone

Starting your name with "Lil" and then adding a mundane word is a common formula, but "House Phone" is a fucking solid word choice. Lil House Phone is from Los Angeles and has been a co-host on No Jumper, and he's put up some big numbers on SoundCloud, including over a million plays on the booming "Tokyo Goons."

Lil Soda Boi

When Lil Yachty first stepped on the scene and told us that he has eaten pizza every day since he was in the second grade, I was officially convinced that he was the most outlandish rapper I would ever see in my entire life. Now, almost two years later I can tell you with confidence that I was dead wrong. Seattle rapper Lil Soda Boi has a heavy autotune rasp and has used it to rack up about 11 thousand followers on SoundCloud.

Baby Tear$

Baby Tears

Baby Tear$ is a great name, but it's definitely a weird one. The Baltimore artist hasn't dropped any music on her SoundCloud since 8 months ago, and her Twitter account looks to be suspended. Hope she's good, because "Succubus Slides" is still bizarre and amazing.
