RL Grime’s cryptic Instagram posts start with a countdown from 1 to 8. With an eerie Halloween-esque track playing in the background, the countdown turns into a mysterious picture of a tombstone. What does this mean for RL Grime?

Moreover, in a large font, the tombstone displays the number eight with “The End” displayed under the tombstone’s header. Displayed on the lower proportions of the tombstone is “2012-2024”. Thus signifying “the end of a life”.

Fans comment below RL Grime’s Instagram post displaying disbelief and confusion while also attempting to push their grief with humor. Fans even joke around with the artist with the hope this means a Christmas mix is on the way. Conversely, some fans even nudge if the renowned bass and trap artist is simply trolling fans, similar to Odesza when they released ‘The Last Goodbye.’

In addition, fellow artists of the bass community Crankdat and Wooli, commented expressing their shock. The two artists ask for clarification and if this is a harmless joke. Likewise, Ravenscoon humorously comments below the Instagram post saying “Halloween is CANCELLED after this year.’

A tale as old as time, RL Grime came out with his first Halloween mix in 2012. Throughout the last twelve years, this has been a tradition to look forward to amongst the bass and trap music community. The eighth and final Halloween mix, The End, will be released on Friday, October 25th via RL Grime’s SoundCloud.
