R&B newcomer August Alsina teams with Lloyd and re-issues his recently released music video for his latest offering “Sucka.” In the visuals, which is dubbed “the anti-love song,” Alsina showcases a thirsty dude, who can’t seem to understand that it’s a wrap for him and a female lover, which the R&B crooner is now courting.
“Sucka” is taken from August Alsina’s recently released mixtape, The Product, hosted by DJ Scream (Listen & Download Here).
“Sucka” by August Alsina featuring Lloyd is a smooth R&B track that delves into the complexities of love and vulnerability. The song starts with a gentle guitar riff and a mellow drumbeat, creating a relaxed and sultry atmosphere. This laid-back instrumental foundation sets the stage for Alsina’s and Lloyd’s soulful vocals, which bring a combination of smoothness and raw emotion.
The lyrics explore the dynamics of being deeply infatuated with someone, often feeling like a “sucka” because of the intensity of the emotions involved. August Alsina’s voice carries a sense of longing and sincerity, capturing the vulnerability that can come with opening up to love. His vocal delivery is smooth, flowing effortlessly over the track’s gentle rhythm.
Lloyd’s feature adds an extra layer of depth and harmony to the song. His vocals blend seamlessly with Alsina’s, providing a rich contrast and harmony that enhances the track’s emotional resonance. Together, they create a compelling narrative of falling for someone despite the risks and uncertainties that come with it.
The chorus is catchy and memorable, with a melodic hook that captures the essence of being “sucka” in love. The production maintains a mellow vibe throughout, with subtle harmonies and laid-back instrumentation allowing the vocals to remain at the forefront.
Overall, “Sucka” by August Alsina featuring Lloyd is a heartfelt R&B track that explores the vulnerability and passion of love. Its soulful melodies, smooth vocals, and introspective lyrics make it a captivating listen, resonating with anyone who has felt the intensity of being swept up in romance.
Making his debut this year, the 19-year-old from New Orleans may seem like another male R&B act at first glance, until you hear his songs and the lyrics he sings about. His style embodies the amazing vocals of an R&B singer but tells the tales of hardships, drugs and street life — something you would expect from a rapper.
Backed by Lloyd’s management, August Alsina has been making noise online through his R&B focused covers of hit rap songs from Waka Flocka, Lil Wayne, Drake and more.
