Lucy Bedroque is part of a broader wave of rappers and producers whose work straddles the line between hip-hop and electronic music. Alongside friends and collabers Slayr, prettifun, and ezcodylee, the 20-year-old Bronx-to-LA artist has emerged as one of the most exciting voices in the current underground-to-mainstream pipeline.
Born Jeremiah Mark on May 7, 2006, Lucy Bedroque (formerly known as Lostrushi, stylized in lowercase) blends rage, digicore, hyperpop, experimental hip-hop, and sigilkore into a chaotic yet emotionally resonant sound. His music feels like a late-night SoundCloud fever dream—glitchy 808s, shimmering synths, distorted vocals, and lyrics that swing between bravado, vulnerability, and internet-age surrealism.
At just 20 years old, Bedroque already boasts hundreds of thousands of monthly listeners on Spotify, co-signs across the underground, and a spot on major festival lineups like Rolling Loud 2026. His evolution from bedroom producer to multifaceted artist-producer-rapper reflects the fluidity of today’s digital music ecosystem, where genre boundaries dissolve in favor of vibe, texture, and personal expression.
a surge
Bedroque sits at the center of a tight-knit crew often dubbed the “Underground Avengers” by fans: Slayr, prettifun, ezcodylee, and frequent collaborators like egobreak. Together, they’re pushing a sound that marries the high-energy aggression of rage rap with the emotive, glitchy sensibilities of digicore and hyperpop.
- Slayr brings sharp, atmospheric production and fierce delivery.
- Prettifun adds melodic, playful, and often chaotic energy (seen in tracks like their joint “Ultraviolet”).
- Ezcodylee contributes stunt-heavy, anthemic bangers, including the collaboration “DEADMAN!” featuring Bedroque.
This collective energy has fueled joint performances, release parties (like ezcodylee’s Stunt 4 Life event), and a shared aesthetic that feels both nostalgic for early-2010s internet rap and forward-looking.
While Bedroque has pushed back on strict genre labels in the past, the emotional core—personal lyrics delivered with raw, auto-tuned vulnerability over massive, abrasive beats—ties the crew together. It’s music designed for both headphone introspection and chaotic mosh pits.
evolve
Bedroque first gained traction under the name Lostrushi, releasing projects like the 2023 debut album Sisterhood, which became a digicore cult favorite with its plunderphonics-inspired sampling and whimsical, Nintendo DS-tinged aesthetics. In 2024, he rebranded to Lucy Bedroque, sparking mixed fan reactions but marking a bolder, more confident era.
His 2025 mixtape Unmusique (released via DeadAir Records) marked a significant step up. Featuring guests like prettifun and Jack Zebra, and production from a wide network including egobreak, the project leaned harder into rage territory while retaining his signature skittish experimentation. Tracks like “2010 Justin Bieber,” “How to Pretend,” and “Yes, You May” showcase his range: viral-ready hooks, technical flows, and production that can shift from glossy hyperpop to distorted, industrial grit.
As a producer, Bedroque is hands-on. He crafts many of his own beats but also has flow extensively, giving his work a communal yet distinctive fingerprint. Influences range from Playboi Carti and Lil Uzi Vert’s rage energy to broader electronic and pop experimentation.
impression
Bedroque’s music is visually and sonically maximalist. Anime-inspired aesthetics, bold fashion (Chrome Hearts, Tripp, and custom pieces), and a spirited-tense online presence complement the sonic chaos. Songs often sample or reference pop culture, Japanese influences, and early internet sounds while tackling themes of identity, excess, success, and melancholy.
He stands out in a crowded underground scene because of his versatility. He raps, sings, produces, and writes with equal commitment. This multi-hyphenate approach mirrors artists like Bladee or underscores—figures who treat music as a holistic creative outlet rather than a single-lane pursuit.
His upcoming projects, festival appearances, and rumored collaborations (including potential Deadmau5 sampling) position him for even wider breakout potential in 2026 and beyond. Tours with artists like Kuru further expand his reach.
fin
In an era where algorithms reward constant output and genre hybridization, Bedroque exemplifies the modern underground success story. He’s not chasing trends—he’s helping define them alongside his circle. The emotional weight behind the abrasive production creates music that resonates deeply with Gen Z listeners navigating the same digital overload and identity questions.
From where if he’s dropping a glitchy banger or a more introspective cut, Lucy Bedroque delivers with unfiltered charisma. Keep an eye (and ear) on him, Slayr, prettifun, ezcodylee, and the rest of the crew—they’re not just riding the wave of hip-hop/electronic move; they’re shaping its next chapter.
Stream Unmusique, catch him at a festival near you, and watch the ascent. The underground is loud, and Lucy Bedroque is one of its clearest voices.
