Sullii is the solo moniker of Josh Rogers, formerly the frontman of the UK post-hardcore band Crooks. Launched in 2018, the project represents a significant stylistic pivot from the high-energy, emotive rock of his previous work toward a minimalist, lo-fi hip-hop and emo-rap hybrid.
Rogers utilizes his background in melodic hardcore to inform his vocal phrasing, which remains highly expressive even when delivered in a hushed, breathy register. The project gained traction through SoundCloud and independent releases, eventually solidifying a cult following within the 'sad boy' and cloud rap subcultures. His production is characterized by heavy use of bit-crushing, reverb, and submerged textures that align him with artists like never,forever. and the broader 'deadbeat' aesthetic. Critics note his ability to maintain a consistent atmosphere of suburban isolation and mental health struggle without falling into the genre's more abrasive tropes. His work is a cornerstone of the UK's underground emotive electronic scene, bridging the gap between DIY emo and contemporary downtempo hip-hop.
