Critical Praise:
“$tupid Young, a Cambodian-American rapper from Long Beach, has a street-rap perspective that I’ve never heard anyone else bring.” – Stereogum
“With every passing YouTube hit, Cambodian rapper $tupid Young expands his reach beyond Long Beach and grows as a voice for his unsung background…$tupid Young has channeled his upbringing through his music to great success. His biggest hit “Mando” with Mozzy was one of the most magnetic songs out of Long Beach last year, and “Murder Scene” with Lil Durk is still electric.” – Passion of the Weiss
The Video:
Overcoming a rough upbringing to become the pride of Long Beach, CA, $tupid Young was born to shine. Bringing out his Bentley and showing the world how he lives, $tupid Young shares the video for “Suppose To.” Produced by Kenny Produced It and Callan, the man behind Lil Mosey’s “Blueberry Faygo,” “Suppose To” is a shimmering West Coast banger, providing the perfect backdrop for Young to trade rich life witticisms with Blueface and Mike Sherm. In the video, directed by Voice2Hard, Young, Blueface, and Sherm show us how they live, whipping a Bentley around L.A. County, before stopping at a house party with scantily-clad models. “Suppose To” is the latest single from From Here On Out, Young’s upcoming album.
His first official album after a long list of quality mixtapes, From Here On Out tells the Cambodian-American rapper’s life story. The album follows a loose narrative, tracing Young’s rise from the cutthroat streets of Long Beach to his current success as a rapper and entrepreneur. The earlier songs reflect Young’s anger and reckless behavior, while the album’s later tracks reflect on his maturation into a community figure and loving father.
