Video: Suigeneris – “Song” (Prod. by Cxdy)”

The Bay Area-Born SoundCloud Sensation Pares a Banger Down to Its Bare Essentials

Critical Praise:

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

The Song:

Setting trends on SoundCloud with his demonic and angelic energy, 18-year-old rapper Suigeneris makes being a rap prodigy look easy. Revealing that he can make a banger using only the most basic ingredients, Suie shares “Song,” his latest release. Rampaging atop a manic instrumental, produced by Cxdy of Internet Money, Suie gives a masterclass in song structure, reeling off reckless bars and only pausing for the most rudimentary hook: “Now here’s the f*cking hook,” he growls at the appropriate time. Though he came up off the strength of his melodies, Suie has been on a mission to prove that he can spit better than anyone his age or older. The video finds the Mexican-American Suie expressing his distaste for Chipotle before delivering his lyrics directly into the camera, which shakes and vibrates in response to his energy. “Song” follows in the wake of “Down,” a soul-sampling SoundCloud single released in collaboration with fellow teen titan yvngxchris, which peaked at #12 on SoundCloud’s New & Hot chart.

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,” and he plans on dropping fire on a regular basis as the summer heats up.

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.
