Strong O “Crowd Sucka”

While echoes of old-school hip hop greatness can be heard in his songcraft, “Crowd Sucka” is a prime example of Strong O’s uniquely potent lyricism. Seething with rage and frustration, he gladly points a finger (guess which one) at those around him willing to sell out to please the masses. Over a swaggering beat straight out of the ’90s, he spits pure wisdom, stomping on a refrain designed to rattle in the brain and shatter the illusions of trend chasers. As he doubles down in the second verse, it becomes increasingly clear that the phrase “sugarcoat” isn’t in his vocabulary. Unwilling to be boxed in or bend to others’ expectations, he’s creatively bulletproof—and he has no patience for those who compromise their identity for a leg up. Instead, he’s keeping his mind sharp and taking a stand, waving goodbye to the “suckas” who would do anything for a taste of fame and glory.

When it comes down to it, two places foster a special hip hop sound brimming with grit and gusto—the studio and the streets. In the “Crowd Sucka” music video, viewers find Strong O commanding both, letting his dominant presence speak for itself. As he lets loose on the streets of Queens, the dynamic shots and quick cuts amplify his ferocious spirit while nodding to the hip-hop quo. It’s here that Strong O finds the perfect platform to speak his truth with strength and urgency—standing firmly behind every word, directing his message straight at the “suckas” who fueled his fury in the first place. Back in the studio, fellow collaborators—more like competitors—take a turn with the hook, reinforcing his biting critique. Strong O is the antithesis of a “Crowd Sucka”—he’s a beacon of originality and dogged determination, and he’s here to rise above and claim his spot at the top.
