Strong O is known as a \u201cone take wonder\u201d, and finally his music is getting the recognition they deserve, ensuring that this &#8220;Strong Opponent&#8221; finds his position alongside the greats of the genre.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">New release, &#8216;Crowd Sucka&#8217; 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&#8217;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 &#8220;suckas&#8221; who compromise their integrity for a taste of fame.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The music video for &#8216;Crowd Sucka&#8217; 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 &#8220;suckas&#8221;, the source of his fury.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You can watch the clip for &#8216;Crowd Sucka&#8217; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=9u_7f5AsVHU\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=9u_7f5AsVHU\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">here<\/a>, and find out more about Strong O and his music online on <a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/@strongopponent3993\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">YouTube<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/strong_o_\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Instagram<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>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, &#8216;Crowd Sucka&#8217;.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":92233,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"advanced_seo_description":"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'.","jetpack_seo_html_title":"Strong O Is Brash, Bold, And Unmatched With Hip Hop Release, 'Crowd Sucka'","jetpack_seo_noindex":false,"jetpack_seo_schema_type":"","_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"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'.","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"enabled":false},"version":2},"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":true},"categories":[7,9,21453,21445,21446,21449,640],"tags":[33102,1870,11720,77,370,1945,116,79,10677,33101,81,22992],"class_list":["post-92228","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-music","category-new-releases","category-new-singles","category-reviews","category-single-reviews","category-video-reviews","category-videos","tag-crowd-sucka","tag-hip-hop","tag-lisa-hafey","tag-new-release","tag-new-single","tag-new-video","tag-review","tag-single","tag-single-review","tag-strong-o","tag-video","tag-video-review"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p5yMhl-nZy","jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":92202,"url":"https:\/\/essentiallypop.com\/epop\/2025\/08\/strong-o-talks-to-us-about-crowd-sucka\/","url_meta":{"origin":92228,"position":0},"title":"Strong O Talks To Us About &#8216;Crowd Sucka&#8217;","author":"Essentially Pop","date":"28\/08\/2025","format":false,"excerpt":"Following on from our review of Strong O's new single, 'Crowd Sucka', we speak to the artist himself, and find out what makes him tick.","rel":"","context":"In &quot;Interviews&quot;","block_context":{"text":"Interviews","link":"https:\/\/essentiallypop.com\/epop\/category\/music\/interviews\/"},"img":{"alt_text":"","src":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/essentiallypop.com\/epop\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Strong-O.png?fit=1200%2C1184&ssl=1&resize=350%2C200","width":350,"height":200,"srcset":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/essentiallypop.com\/epop\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Strong-O.png?fit=1200%2C1184&ssl=1&resize=350%2C200 1x, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/essentiallypop.com\/epop\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Strong-O.png?fit=1200%2C1184&ssl=1&resize=525%2C300 1.5x, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/essentiallypop.com\/epop\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Strong-O.png?fit=1200%2C1184&ssl=1&resize=700%2C400 2x, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/essentiallypop.com\/epop\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Strong-O.png?fit=1200%2C1184&ssl=1&resize=1050%2C600 3x"},"classes":[]},{"id":70965,"url":"https:\/\/essentiallypop.com\/epop\/2021\/08\/millz-corleone-gone-krazy\/","url_meta":{"origin":92228,"position":1},"title":"Millz Corleone &#8211; &#8216;Gone Krazy&#8217;","author":"Lisa Hafey","date":"27\/08\/2021","format":false,"excerpt":"Millz Corleone uses his platform to share the struggle of the streets, all while hustling to master his craft.
