Career
Relli began creating music in 2021 after gaining support from his cousin and producer Twovrt.[3] His debut track, "Don't Want Smoke," a collaboration with OsamaSon, was released in 2023.[3]
In 2024, his debut album, titled Tony, and his collaborative albums with OsamaSon, titled 2 Slime and Still Slime,[4] were unexpectedly removed on Spotify.[3]
Following the initial takedowns, he continued uploading music under the moniker "snakechildpain".[5]
Relli drew widespread attention and controversy for his unique production and provocative lyrics.[5] In June 2025, he dropped his solo project Outstanding. Tracks like "Megalodon" and "Kookoo" instantly became viral audios across social media platforms, featuring lyrics such as, "I drop bomb like Vietnam" and, "Jews run the news, boy, I thought you knew."[5] Leading to massive public outcry upon reaching mainstream audiences.
Fans note that the scrutiny Relli faced in this period of his career largely mirrors the timeline of Ye (FKA Kanye West)'s 2025 public fallout and controversy[6] due to massive rants on social media in which he made many extreme anti-semetic remarks. "Megalodon" went viral just months after Kanye’s aggressive February 2025 tirades, in which the internet climate became entirely desensitized to shocking antisemitic rhetoric. Underground rap fans actively weaponized Boolymon's lyrics on platforms like Instagram and TikTok, explicitly connecting his music to the broader conspiratorial discourse surrounding media control and the ongoing Israel-Palestine conflict.
On August 8, 2025, Relli shared on his Instagram story that he had to cancel his Florida show after Transportation Security Administration (TSA) didn't allow him to fly. On August 10, 2025 music distributor DistroKid formally notified Relli that his account was terminated under "editorial discretion" following policy violations.[5] DistroKid subsequently removed his catalog across major streaming services, prompting Relli to claim on social media that he would pursue legal action.[5] This timeline led fans to believe Relli was being targeted for his controversial online presence, resulting in fans pushing the hashtag #freeboolymon. Following these events, boolymon would partner with EMPIRE Distribution to release his music, back under the name and artist page “boolymon.” Fans quickly pointed out that the CEO and founder of EMPIRE is Ghazi Shami, a prominent Palestinian-American music executive, sparking intense speculation that Boolymon's signing was a deliberate statement regarding his political lyrics and the Israel-Palestine conflict. However, the partnership remained entirely ambiguous. On August 14, 2025, Boolymon publicly denied that he had signed a contract with them, leaving his actual distribution pathways cloudy.[7]
Despite these setbacks, Relli has continued to release music under unknown circumstances, with EMPIRE seemingly playing some role in his distribution.[5]
Following his collaborative project Party City with Perubaby, released on February 28, 2026, Boolymon continued his momentum with the release of his EP Glove World on June 2, 2026.[8] With fans waiting as he continues to tease the release of his debut studio album Rock Bottom.
Musical style and influence
Relli is considered to be a pioneer of the dark plugg genre along with producers Squillo, TDF, and Smokingskul.[1][9][10] Writing for Pitchfork, music journalist Kieran Press-Reynolds stated that the platform TikTok hosted "Boolymon shitposts".[11] Writing for The Face, Press-Reynolds stated that Relli along with producers TDF, Perc40, and Twovrt had "been cooking up bass blitzes since at least early 2022. The most experimental beats sound almost hazardous, like prolonged exposure will permanently harm your ears".[1]
