"Suge" (also known as "Suge (Yea Yea)"[1]) is the breakthrough hit by American rapper DaBaby, released as the lead single from his debut studio album Baby on Baby on April 23, 2019.[2] It reached number seven on the US Billboard Hot 100.[3] The song's title is a reference to former music executive Suge Knight.[4] It was produced by JetsonMade and Pooh Beatz. The song was later nominated for Best Rap Performance and Best Rap Song at the 62nd Annual Grammy Awards.[5] "Suge" was ranked as the 2nd best song of 2019 by Complex,[6] and the 12th best by Billboard.[7]

Composition and lyrics[edit]

"Suge" contains "throbbing production",[6] a beat that sounds like "ticking drums and a croaking synth-bass".[7] The chorus contains a "yeah, yeah" interjection,[7] hence the subtitle of the song. The song's lyrics have been described as "brazenly confident", with DaBaby rapping about keeping $32,000 in one of his pockets (and a Glock in the other), paired with "powerful vocal delivery, clever bars, and an oversize personality".[6]

Critical reception[edit]

The Washington Post said the song "showcases DaBaby's versatility" in sounding "suave" and then being able to "flip the switch".[4] Noisey called the track "one of the album's best singles and a restless mess of lines", adding that DaBaby "free associates in a way that feels like Young Thug".[8]

Commercial performance[edit]

"Suge" debuted on the US Billboard Hot 100 at number 87 during the week of April 13, 2019, becoming DaBaby's first Hot 100 entry.[9] Suge continued to climb the Hot 100 over the next several weeks, and has since peaked at number seven on the chart and at number three on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart.[3] On June 23, 2019, the single was certified platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) for sales of over a million digital copies in the United States.[10]

Music video[edit]

The music video for "Suge" was released on March 4, 2019. It features DaBaby in a variety of roles, including a mailman, Suge Knight, and dancing in an office.[1] The video also features an excerpt from the intro song to his previous album, "Taking It Out".

Remix[edit]

On August 8, American rapper Joyner Lucas and Canadian rapper Tory Lanez ended their feud that started in 2018 by releasing a remix of the song together.[11]

Nicki Minaj also made a non-official remix of the song premiering on her show, Queen Radio and also a snippet of her verse in an Instagram page.[12]

In popular culture[edit]

In 2021, memes related to the song blew up on social media such as Twitter.[13][14][15] They included surrealist descriptions/depictions of DaBaby as a convertible, inspired by his lyrics in the song, where he stated: "I will turn a nigga into a convertible; Push me a lil' nigga top back (Vroom)." DaBaby was then noted for his apparent resemblance to a convertible.[16] The sound effects and producer tags used in the song, such as ‘No Cap’ and ‘Oh Lord, JetsonMade Another One’ also became very popular.
