On his new release, Suzy 6 Speed, Bay area rapper and producer Iamsu! trades the bass-heavy beats and dreamy stoner synths of the critically acclaimed spring release Kilt for high BPMs and an endless supply of carefully programmed snare claps. Su’s smooth, sing-song flow contrasts with the mixtape’s high-energy production, resulting in a fantastical animation typically absent in this style of rapping.

Unfortunately, more often than not, this briskness hides Su’s lyrical ingenuity and results in a tiring repetitiveness. Layers of samples and an unrelenting high-hat rattle drone out Su’s unique style and hinder his ability to form effective verses.

Despite this, Iamsu! shines on tracks like “Welcome Back” and “Mobbin,” where his ganja-influenced drawl juxtaposes beautifully with hard-hitting snare claps to create easily digestible rap bangers. Even so, Iamsu! sees the most success when the tempo turns down, emphasizing his impressive lyricism. On the tape’s best track, “Losin,” Su takes a simpler approach, rapping over a soft-spoken sample, reflecting on his rise to regional fame with an underground edge.

Although it’s fun to flop around to in the moment, Su’s new release fails to create the same meaningful experience as did Kilt. All in all, Suzy 6 Speed presents itself as a high paced, in-your-face party rager that has its moments of greatness—but for the most part, is left forgotten in the haze of the morning after.
