rubyred is a producer and rapper from New Jersey. At only 15 years old they have already started innovating their sound and style. After already releasing 2 projects this year I sat down with her during the creation of the third which is slated to (hopefully) release next month. Getting a start in production in 2019 after hearing a project released from a youtuber he liked he started messing around with free DAWs. After producing for awhile rubyred got the itch to start messing around with writing and recording vocals in 2022. Since then they have become one of the most exciting upcoming artists. Taking inspiration from all corners of the underground, they’ve experimented with just about every genre there is and are now forming their own lane with every release. Be sure to keep an eye of for rubyred in the upcoming years.
If you got to collaborate with one company which company would you want to and what would it be?
This might be weird but I want to do soundtracking for an A24 movie. I’ve always had an urge to make an ambient or glitch album or just generally experimental atmospheric music. I watched ‘I saw the TV Glow’ with some friends a while ago and there's some scenes that have just stuck in my head. I get to thinking like “what would it sound like if I soundtracked this?” If I was to create my own movie I’d want it to combine some of the more dark and disturbing parts of ‘I saw the TV Glow’ with some occasional comedy. I think making a soundtrack to a movie like that would be super cool.
What would you do if you were able to haunt people after you died?
Honestly, I think that if I was a ghost, I wouldn’t want to be some scary ominous apparition. I would just want to find some type of way to interact with the average human. Like imagine going to some place thinking its gonna be haunted as fuck with a bunch of ghosts there but it’s me just chilling. Maybe on like a random day I’d pop out to the white house and start fucking with shit, chilling with other ghosts. But really if I was a ghost there's nothing I’d want to haunt.
Which historical figure would have the best twitter account?
I think something that would be really funny, not necessarily the account, but the way people interact with it, would be twitter during the great depression. Like I know that Herbert Hoover would’ve been getting cooked if they had had twitter. Just constant “How could you lead us into this. How could you fuck up this bad.”
If you could bring one medieval practice or part of everyday life what would it be?
I already say this a lot just as an expression, but we need to bring back tar and feathering. I’m so serious. You don’t understand the amount of people I encounter where I’m just like we need to fucking deal with you. Outside of people I just have personal beef with I think we should tar and feather every single pedophile. Like that's just what you get if you're a pedophile.
Which ‘Battle for Dream Island’ characters are you getting to help you rob a bank?
First I’m bringing Rocky as a distraction. He’s just gonna barf all over the place. We need to divert their attention. Then I’ll bring Blocky, cause he was pulling pranks on people every couple of episodes. So he’d be doing some dumb shit. Not only to make the experience more enjoyable, but it’ll also help. I’ll be the one grabbing shit. Then I’ll bring Pencil cause she got the free smart van and she can be our getaway driver. That’s the team. The money team.
Who's your favorite niche celebrity?
If I’m gonna be honest it’d have to be like an artist, and for me that would be xaviersobased. I could go on and on about xavier and why I fuck with him. He’s just a generally kind soul and has done a lot for music. I just fuck with him a lot so that’s probably my favorite niche celebrity.
What's a weird skill you’d like to have?
I’m not even sure this is a skill but this is just one thing I regularly do that most people don’t know about. Sometimes I be making this weird ass noise *makes a sound that's like a scream mixed with a vocal fry.* Like I said, I don't know if it’s a skill but its a fun thing I do. But then a skill that I’d like is whistling. I can’t whistle for shit. I feel like I could incorporate it into a song or something.
Which movie would you want to live in?
I want to go to ‘Wall-e’ and just witness it all. You know the scene where its Wall-e and Eve are just like floating through space and Wall-e has the fire extinguisher. I want to be able to witness that first hand. That’s some unironically beautiful shit. I’d want to be a robot with them just cause all the humans are bums. And if I got to be in that scene where all the robots are battling and shit that'd be sick.
If you could talk to anyone in the world alive right now who would you want to talk to?
This is more of an in the moment thing. Cause if we were like doing the interview a week ago I wouldn’t say the same shit, but the Trump shooter. I’m just trying to cook the shit out of him. I just want to berate the fuck out of him for missing. Cause how do you miss that? His head is built like a cinder block.
What animal do you think we should introduce into sports and what sport?
I want to take NASCAR and turn it into the most Mario Kart esque shit ever.I’m trying to think of what animal would be the best for that. Bring in like tigers or something. Just have tigers running around the track. I’m not gonna elaborate any more on why, other than I think it would be funny. I think we also need to find a way to incorporate water into it. That way we can have dolphins jumping around the cars.
What artists do you think people reading this should check out?
Obviously everyone in FISHGANG. bappy and aizeks from kawaii goon$. killstreak certified and lorelei.wav. Outside of my friends, in terms of artists that I fuck with a lot. Corey Lingo who is like a pluggnb Chris Brown. Then Lucy Bedroque is one of my favorite artists ever. His music tickles every facet of my brain.
