"...a standout in the Bay's young, emerging pool of talent." - HipHopDX

The News:

On November 10th, breakout Bay rapper IamSu! will release his new mixtape, $uzy 6 $peed. The tape, being released exclusively through LiveMixtapes, is also being released in conjunction with streetwear clothing brand Pink Dolphin, and to celebrate the release, Pink Dolphin and IamSu! have collaborated on an exclusive, limited edition run of t-shirts and hoodies, both of which will be released in limited quantities (72 items each) at two in-store events.

The events will take place at the Pink Dolphin store in Los Angeles and at the TRUE store in San Francisco. The LA event will take place on November 17th, while the SF event will take place on November 18th. Both events will launch at 3:00pm, and IamSu! and the HBK Gang will be at both events signing copies of the new mixtape.

"Su! and I have been good friends for a while, and Su and the rest of the HBK have been huge supporters of the brand from day one. We have always talked about doing some sort of collaboration and we decided the time was perfect with the release of this mixtape," says Cena, Pink Dolphin's Creative Director. "We wanted to keep the collaboration limited to our California fanbase so we decided to release it in both our LA Flagship store and one of our premier boutiques TRUE in SF."

The Background:

2012 has been nothing short of a breakout year for IamSu!. The 22-year-old popped up with a triple-threat performance on LoveRance's "UP!," which Su! produced, penned the hook for, and guested on with a scene-stealing verse. The song peaked at number one on Billboard's Hot R&B/Hip-Hop chart, and in the midst of that success, Su! again delivered a fan-favorite verse on a big-time radio single, this time with E-40's "Function." Su! followed that success with a solo mixtape, KILT, and the critical acclaim came in droves, as the project was hailed by SPIN as their Rap Release Of The Week, with the outlet also naming Su! as one of their 5 Best New Artists for June '12. Su!'s been plenty busy since – a west coast tour; a collaborative mixtape with Jay Ant; a standout collaboration with Wiz Khalifa, "Bout Me," that appeared on Khalifa's Cabin Fever 2 and will also show up on his sophomore album, O.N.I.F.C. Now, IamSu! is prepping a new mixtape, $uzy 6 $peed, which will be released exclusively through LiveMixtapes on November 10th. The tape will be presented by Bay Area streetwear company Pink Dolphin, which will release an exclusive t-shirt and hoody for the tape.
