Audio: Suigeneris – “Down” ft. yvngxchris

The Two Teen Titans Trade Rapidfire Flexes Over a Revamped Version of a Familiar Sample

Critical Praise:

“Suigeneris is a living testament of the old adage, ‘Age ain’t nothing but a number.'” – XXL

The Song:

He’s known for his winning ways with melody, but 18-year-old Suigeneris can flat out spit. Showing off his lockstep flows atop a souped-up version of a familiar sample, Suigeneris shares “Down,” a fiery new single that Suie dropped by surprise, only on SoundCloud.

Connecting with another teen prodigy, 16-year-old Virginia riser yvngxchris, Suigeneris sics himself on the beat, adopting a rapidfire triplet flow and effortlessly unfurling tongue-twisting boasts: “If we made a band, we not The Beatles we The Misfits/64 grams, tell the whoppers come and get this.” yvngxchris matches Sui’s energy as the two teen titans trade bars, praising each other’s rhyme skills and looking down piteously at those who can’t reach their level. Suie and chris previously shared a snippet of the song on TikTok, generating over 1 million views and over 800 video creations on the excerpted audio. The song is a testament to SoundCloud’s resurgence as a hotbed of rising trends in hip-hop.

Suigeneris broke into the rap game at the tender age of 14, earning co-signs from the likes of Lil Skies and YG, and racking up tens of millions of streams. He showed that age was nothing but a number with his 2019 project Suinami, featured appearances from NLE Choppa, TJ Porter, and Daddex, and gave rise to hits like “Lucifer” (2 million YouTube views). Sui returned in 2020 with Demons N Angels, a double EP split in two halves–the Demons half of the project showcases Suie’s rapping skills and impish charm, while the Angels half expands his sound into the worlds of pop and R&B. During the pandemic, Suie took a brief hiatus from music to start his own clothing brand, Demons N Angels a.k.a. DNA, a streetwear company with eye-popping design and skyrocketing sales. Suie recently resurfaced on SoundCloud, showing off his new rapping style with songs like “Tiger Woods.”

Already a popping rapper and successful CEO, there’s nothing that Suigeneris can’t accomplish. He may have reached a laundry list of lifelong goals by the time he could legally vote, but he’s still hungry, and not done growing. Stay tuned for much more from the young OG in the near future.

The Background:

Introduced to hip-hop by his brothers, Suigeneris experienced his first taste of success at the young age of 13, when his video “Pull Up” caught fire in the Bay Area to the tune of 1.6 million YouTube views. Since then, Suie’s career trended ever upward. “Pull Up” caught the ear of Landon Cube, who brought Suie on as an opening act for his tour. Through Cube, Suie met Lil Skies, who appreciated Suie’s melodic mastery enough to collaborate with him on “Now” (6.2 million Spotify streams, 3.6 million YT views). His 2019 mixtape Suinami earned more than 15 million streams on Spotify alone, and 20 million across all platforms. Now 16, and with over 415k monthly listeners on Spotify, Suie is preparing to release Demons N Angels, a double EP that comments on his dual nature–Romeo and Damien, singer and rapper.
