Critical Praise for Iamsu!:

Best New Artist – SPIN

“[Iamsu!] is making some of the catchiest and most pleasant music in all of rap right now.” – Stereogum

“[Iamsu!] is very easy to like, and…he flashes an intensity to match.” – Pitchfork

“Iamsu!’s growing buzz is warranted and this is shaping up to be a big year for him.” – Complex

Gen F featured artist – “Iamsu! asserts himself as a hip-hop tour de force with fluid, confident rhymes.” – The FADER

“It truly seems that Iamsu! is incapable of making a bad song.” – VICE

The Song:

Iamsu! invites the listener to rock with him on “The Realest,” a new track off the deluxe edition of his most recent project KILT 2. The emcee holds it down in tandem with Compton rapper Problem, exclaiming boisterously over a booming track. The two have collaborated frequently–releasing joint mixtape Million Dollar Afro and co-headlining their own Million Dollar Afro Tour–and their voices complement each other well as they create a braggadocious vibe. Su! also handled the track’s production, creating the synth-driven playful banger.

The track, which was premiered by The FADER, is one of the five brand-new songs on the remastered deluxe edition of KILT 2. The deluxe edition will be available via iTunes tomorrow, July 9th.

Iamsu! Background:

2012 was nothing short of a breakout year for Iamsu!. The 22-year-old popped up with a triple-threat performance on LoveRance’s ”UP!,” which Su! produced, penned the hook for, and guested on with a scene-stealing verse. The song peaked at number one on Billboard’s Hot R&B/Hip-Hop chart, and in the midst of that success, Su! again delivered a fan-favorite verse on a big-time radio single, this time with E-40′s”Function.”

Su! followed that success with a solo mixtape, KILT, and the critical acclaim came in droves, as the project was hailed by SPIN as their Rap Release Of The Week, with the outlet also naming Su! as one of their 5 Best New Artists for June ’12. Su!’s been plenty busy since – a west coast tour; a collaborative mixtape with Jay Ant; a standout collaboration with Wiz Khalifa, “Bout Me,” that appeared on Khalifa’s Cabin Fever 2 and will also show up on his sophomore album, O.N.I.F.C. Iamsu! released mixtape $uzy 6 $peed, which was released exclusively through LiveMixtapes on November 10th. The tape was presented by Bay Area streetwear company Pink Dolphin, which released an exclusive t-shirt and hoody for the tape. Iamsu! is back to work already in 2013, with the recent release of Million Dollar Afro, a collaborative mixtape with Compton rapper Problem. The two West Coast rappers co-headlined their own Million Dollar Afro Tour to support the mixtape, and most recently Iamsu! has released his new solo mixtape, KILT 2, in conjunction with LiveMixtapes, which is available now.
