He delivered knock-out performances on Sage The Gemini's platinum single "Gas Pedal" and E-40's smash single "Function." He also produced and appeared on LoveRance's "UP!" single (whose remix featured 50 Cent). Additionally, he has released a string of acclaimed mixtapes that have showcased his musical diversity while helping shape the direction of the modern California music scene.
Now, with his Sincerely Yours, his debut studio album, IamSu! establishes himself as one the best, most innovative rapper-singers making music. "I wanted to call the album that because it's 100 percent me," the Richmond, California artist says. "It's my story. It's like different entries in a letter throughout the album. I decided to do that in order to give people a real perspective on me and my personality."
True to his objective, IamSu! packs a wide range of sounds and styles into Sincerely Yours. The laid-back "Girls," for instance, details his encounters with successful, confident women, while
the album's dramatic title cut tracks his emergence as an artist and the personal strife he endured in his house growing up. Both songs mark IamSu!'s artistic evolution. "For me, it's about content, diversifying my sound and pushing the limits of the ears of people that listen to me," he says. "They might not be accustomed to hearing me on something like 'Sincerely Yours.' I wanted to instantly put that in the atmosphere to set the tone for the album and the level of seriousness of the album."
