Bringing us back to the real hip hop, with its gritty, unapologetic hardcore sound, Strong O is unafraid to share his raw feelings about the world today in his unflinchingly honest track and music video, ‘Crowd Sucka’.
Strong O has been an outspoken messenger of the truth ever since he first set foot in the studio as a teen, a move which has seen him recording in top hip hop production studios and performing across the country. Strong O is known as a “one take wonder”, and finally his music is getting the recognition they deserve, ensuring that this “Strong Opponent” finds his position alongside the greats of the genre.
New release, ‘Crowd Sucka’ is a fine example of just what Strong O is capable of. With rage and frustration oozing out of every pore, he firmly points a middle finger at all those around him who sell out to the masses. Spitting bars of pure wisdom over a beat that’s stepped straight out of the glory days of the 90s scene, Strong O swaggers and stomps and shatters any illusions the trend chasers may have. He doubles down on this in the second verse, unwilling or able to be put in a box or bent to the expectations of others. Strong O is waving goodbye to those “suckas” who compromise their integrity for a taste of fame.
The music video for ‘Crowd Sucka’ sees Strong O take command in both the studio and the streets, dominating the neighbourhoods of Queens, with dynamic shots and quick cuts paying respects to his ferocious spirit, while giving a knowing nod to the doyens of hip hop. With strength and urgency he speaks his truth, the message being directed straight to the “suckas”, the source of his fury.
