First Time First Fight - ShowYouSuck
Contains explicit language
Noted by Red Bull as a “renaissance rapper”, ShowYouSuck has raised the bar for live hip-hop performances and is considered a trailblazer for a new era: alternative hip-hop. Born on the west side of Chicago, his early encounters with the Smashing Pumpkins, Anthrax and Slayer left him a devoted rock fan for life. Without access to instruments or others interested in starting a band, Show turned to rap.
ShowYouSuck has toured with Yelawolf, Asher Roth and recently performed at Riot Fest here in Chicago. He has worked with Flosstradamus, Mr. Muthafuckin' eXquire and Doomtree, and is currently gearing up to release his next project, RAD- for updates follow @ShowYouSuck on Twitter!
