ShowYouSuck's "Crocs or Nah" Is Living Its Best Life

If you take the draw of novelty rap and the vocal presence of an entire era of rap, artist ShowYouSuck is somewhere in between but way more fresher.

Show's latest to make it to all streaming services, Crocs or Nah, instantly draws me to the filthy bounce and boisterous flow from Mannie Fresh's Real Big. Crocs or Nah evokes a similar comfortability to rock how you wanna rock, only Show's rap quirks traded in cars for crocs.

Crocs or Nah stomps down boiling bass, buzzy keys, ticky 808 percussion and an open-palmed kick that hits like a personal celebration of you and others who are living like you in order to be their most authentic selves. The type of hype coming off the production boosts ShowYouSuck's entire mood allowing him to rip his verse(s) in a way that only he can.

The AIR CREDITS member carries a rhythm-induced flow and elated, but slightly ticked, cadence to put movement into the music and peek into his perspective. His hook: "My world ain't based on Black or White, it's based on if you wear Crocs or nah" is a catchy quotable that sets the record of the song straight. But that second verse goes hard. His vocoder adlibs behind the specific, ping-ponging flow he adopts, sounding punk and southern simultaneously. The lyrics are reference-filled, giving us a slice of who the Chicago artist is and what stays on his mind.

Crocs or Nah is a sonic extension of an olive branch for the general public to be comfortable with their lives. And when it knocks in the process, what more could you ask for?
