Early life

In 2017, Tubbs had been broken up with by a girl he was dating at the time. In retaliation, he decided to make a song about it and showed a snippet on Instagram. After doing this, most of the school would see the snippet and start turning on the girl that had broken up with him. After finishing his junior year of high school, he released his first project, "Daydreams". The next year he released his first mixtape, "Balance", which was his first lo-fi related project. "Balance" featured his single "Thrive", which is still one of his most popular songs.

In 2021, Tubbs would release the song "somewhere else", with fellow rapper "ozee". Ozee (presumed name Austin) was a close friend of Tubbs, and had died shortly after the songs completion. Rxse released the song out of respect for Austin, stating this in the song's description: "rest easy king. austin was one of the best friends i've ever had. he had such a bright future in music and i'm extremely happy that we got this song done before he passed. love you bro."

Career

Tubbs first began releasing music on SoundCloud under his birth name, Anthony Tubbs, but decided to change it as it was "pretty lame" and that he wanted to change it to something with the word rose in it as he likes flowers. [5]

He initially went with 'Rosegold' but decided instead on 'Roseboy' and swapped out the first 'o' with an 'x', thus creating 'Rxseboy'. [5]

He released his debut single, "Greatest", in December 2017.

Through 2018, he would continue to release several EPs such as "Autumn" and "Atmosphere".

In 2019, he would release several mixtapes. The first of these would be "My Mind", having 8 tracks and releasing on March 25. The second of these would be "Enjoy The Moment", also with 8 tracks releasing on May 31. The last of these mixtapes was "A Catalog of Cool Songs", having 7 tracks and releasing on August 31. These releases made 2019 one of Rxse's most prolific years.

On November 20, 2020, Tubbs was featured in a single by Powfu, "When the Hospital was my Home". [6]

On June 16, 2021, an Instagram stories game was made on a single, "Spilled My Coffee", that Snøw made in which Rxseboy and Jack Cullen were featured in. [7]

On December 21, 2021, he released a new single, "Leaving". [8] [9]

On December 3, 2022, he was featured on Powfu's single, "Shade of Blue" (feat. Rxseboy, Tia Tia, Shalfi). [10]

After half a year of almost no singles a s Rxseboy (during this time, he was releasing several singles and mixtapes under the sorrow alias), Tubbs would release the seventh installment of his "End Of The Year" series, "End Of The Year V7" on December 23, 2022.

In 2023, Tubbs transitioned from mainly Lo-Fi music to pop music, most notably seen in his 3rd single of 2023, "Weird!". 2023 would prove to be a very prolific year for Tubbs, releasing several singles as well as featuring on several singles such as "Harvey Dent" by PmBata.

After a year of no new mixtapes or EPs as Rxseboy, on June 30 Tubbs would release "Bloom". This was his first mixtape as Rxseboy in over a year. As well as Bloom, he would release a collaborative mixtape with Drex Carter, "The Greatest Story Never Told". The mixtape was released September 29, 2023.

In January of 2024, Tubbs released the single "Talking To Myself". The song was released as a single from his 6th mixtape, "LOVE IS A DRUG". The song had a more R&B/Soft grunge sound, indicating that we may have been seeing a new era of sound from him. The single "DRAMATIC" was also released as a single from LOVE IS A DRUG. The mixtape itself would release on May 24th, 2024.

Other Aliases

Tubbs, despite Rxseboy being his main recording alias, has two other known aliases he records music under.

sorrow

The most prolific of these other two aliases is "sorrow". This persona has been used as far back as 2020 by Rxse. This persona is used for his more sad, soft songs. Under this alias, Tubbs has released 2 EP's and 3 mixtapes, the most notable of which being "Sad Songs I Wrote At 3AM", for featuring the single "Not Alright". As with original stuff, sorrow as an alias is also used for Tubbs to release songs that go unreleased as Rxseboy.

akumah

The other of the two aliases is "akumuh". This persona is not used nearly as much as sorrow, though. As akumuh, Tubbs often has more alternative sounding rap songs under this alias. This alias had not been used much, but on May 10th, 2024, Tubbs would release an eponymous mixtape under the alias, boasting seven tracks. This mixtape was released as a precursor to his sixth mixtape as Rxseboy, "LOVE IS A DRUG".

Personal life

Tubbs was temporarily in a relationship and he addresses it in a single with Aiko, "go to h<3ll". [3] [11]
