About

SUGA FREE IN CONCERT:

With his debonair style, smooth flow, and steamy lyrics, rapper Suga Free treats fans to a sweet, groove-heavy sound -- without any of the cavities. Slick tracks like "On My Way" and "Fly Fo Life" combine the best of R&B, hip hop, and even funk, providing the perfect backdrop to Suga's clever, conversational delivery. Raunchy and romantic in turns, Suga Free is a consummate entertainer who always brings plenty of personality, swagger, and booty-shaking beats to the stage on his can't-miss tours.

BACKGROUND SNAPSHOT:

Oakland-born, Compton-raised Suga Free, aka Dejuan Rice, got his start as a rapper working with legendary producer DJ Quik. Quik produced Suga's 1997 debut album Street Gospel, an impressive first outing that landed on the Billboard's Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart and established him as a potent new voice in rap music. Suga followed up the release with guest appearances on tracks by Xzibit and Snoop Dogg, and in 2004 he climbed the charts once again with his sophomore album The New Testament (The Truth). He continued to release provocative albums throughout the decade including 2008's Smell My Finger and 2009's Hi Power Pimpin', earning a reputation as a witty, pull-no-punches lyricist. Following a five-year hiatus Suga released his hotly anticipated seventh album The Resurrection in 2014, exciting fans for his tour upcoming tour dates.

    Suga Free is a must see

    by Wolfberg on 11/17/14Joseph's Nightclub - Los Angeles

    Would like to see him perform more. I've seen him 3 times over the past 2 years, once as a surprised appearance with Snoop Dogg at the Fillmore in San Francisco. Fillmore Slim was in the house to watch the show, Snoop didn't perform any Snoop Lion songs but they were giving out Snoop Lion 4/20 posters. The highlight of that show for me, was the surprise appearance of Suga Free. Just hearing his songs brings a great energy out of the crowds, even when a portion of the audience doesn't know his work. For some reason I didn't feel he was as comfortable performing that night, he was focused but never got into it. It was like he was keeping up with it, he didn't seem as composed as Snoop Dogg (who is vocally one of the greatest performers hip-hop has to offer). However, my opinion of his performances changed when I saw him perform later with DJ Quik over live instruments at the House of Blues on Sunset it was clear that he performs best when with DJ Quik. When performing with DJ Quik he's happy, he's getting into the music and looks like he's having a fun time up there. He also interacts with the crowd in a very immersive way, at one point putting the mic on the mic-stand and putting it in the crowd. I'm talking about the microphone being right in your face. Great showmanship, truly a next level entertainer. I saw him perform more recently at a smaller venue in Hollywood. If you ever have an opportunity to see a star perform in a small venue make sure you make it a priority because the energy of hip-hop does much better in a small venue then it does in an arena where you're almost disconnected from the artist performing. During this performance I wasn't sure if he was rapping over backing vocals . .
