@Iamsu @JaekiCho @XXLMag:
Iamsu!’s not in a rush to push out a certified studio album. He’s simply looking for a situation where he can express himself creatively without being stifled. While the Richmond, Calif.-raised rapper is most famous for producing and co-writing Loverance’s hit Bay Area anthem “Up,” which captured the clubs and radios across the country, Su’s not in a position to push out a pile of booty knockers. “Show the range outside of party music,” is what the 23-year-old rapper says he has in mind. Even with a bubbling movement that’s drawing the attention of A-listers such as Wiz Khalifa, Su of HBK Gang is overtly down to earth, easygoing, and still pursuing a degree in communication at California State University of East Bay. With a full-throttle music career built around a chain of quality mixtapes, including his latest acclaimed effort $Uzy 6 $Peed, the producer/rapper sat down with XXL to discuss his musical upbringing, the Bay, and a string of quirky life moments. —Jaeki Cho (@JaekiCho)
