WRTHL$$

WRTHL$$ is a Mission Viejo artist making emo rap with a rock edge, releasing since at least 2021, when he put out "Perfect" featuring Cold Hart. He has two albums, "Falsified Perception of Love" (2024) and "INFINITE" (2025), and broke out in 2026 with "TOXIC WASTE" and an acoustic version. He also teamed with Fat Nick on "Pink Lemonade."

"TOXIC WASTE" is the song that carried him furthest. Its official video, posted by World Politan Records, had about 400,000 YouTube views by November 2026, and he also cut a single-take performance of it for the ONETAKE channel. "Porcelain Heart," which Juice Unlocked featured, sits among his other 2026 singles, "Where The Time Go," "Run From Me" and "Sunrise."

He's a regular guest on other artists' records too, with verses on LoneStar Legend's "Offering" and "South Beach," Rich Ryno's "Replay It," lovebeam's "Stress" and Nucky Jmc's "Attitude" with Maxavelli. The Rare Candyz channel, which filmed a sit-down with him, introduced him as an underground alt rock artist from California. His own YouTube channel held 155 videos and about 1,700 subscribers by November 2026, led by the "Nightmares" video at about 12,000 views.
