Background
"Suicide Music" is a song produced by Mike Shinoda and recorded by the hip-hop group Get Busy Committee for The Raid: Redemption soundtrack. The group consists of Apathy, Ryu and Scoop DeVille, all of whom had collaborated with Mike on various Fort Minor songs. Besides this, Get Busy Committee had previously worked with Mike on a remix of "Wretches And Kings".
Mike announced his work on the soundtrack on September 9, 2011 through his personal blog. "For a long time, I have been wanting to score a film. In order for it to work, it would have to have a great story, stunning visuals, and the timing would have to work out in a way that didn’t distract from all the things I want to do with Linkin Park. I’m really excited to have finally found the right project. The movie is called The Raid. Its intense martial arts choreography, amazing cinematography, and great story have been inspiring all kinds of new music. I’m excited for all of you to see—and hear—this film."[1]
After the Get Busy Committee album Uzi Does It was released in October 2009, the group recorded a follow-up album titled Opening Ceremony. It ended up never being released, however, two tracks from the album and "Suicide Music" were released on an Uzi Does It deluxe version on Apathy's website. The other two tracks were "Opening Ceremony" and "Laura Ling."[2] Since Get Busy Committee released an Opening Ceremony mixtape on October 9, 2011, the Uzi Does It deluxe version had to be from some time after that.
"Suicide Music" was also released in 2015 as part of the fourth installment on Apathy's "It's The Bootleg, Muthafuckas!" compilation series, entitled The Black Lodge.
