• Are you ever gonna come to St. Louis?

3 A lot of rare moments, a lot of stories people haven't heard before and a lot of fun.

4 I do have a PS4, my favorite game is NBA 2K

When u & Lil B doin a track. Long overdue.

Coming soon.

Iamsu, bruh please fuck with Sacramento on your tour. Thank you

Definitely, Sacramento is a must!

Do you see the bay taking over the radio in 2014? Between Gas Pedal and Red Nose, it seems like all these white girls are fiending for some slaps.

I def see the bay taking over the radio!

Did you cop the Yeezy's?

I have two pairs but not the red octobers.

Favorite Mac Dre song?

Dredio

Any chance we'll get a track with you and Andre Nickatina?

Yeah we already did one, Its coming out soon.

How was working with 2 Chainz? Is he as cool as he seems? Thanks for the AMA, consider checking out /r/hhh!

2 Chainz was cool as hell! That's like my big brother.

Hey Suzy, Santa Rosan here. When is the album coming out? Everyone I know is listening to you and the rest of HBK, you guys are crackin at every party I go to. Even my mom gets down to No Love and that new gas pedal remix. Just wanted to let you know you guys are the next big thing in the bay, keep up the good work man.

Sincerly Yours is coming out early April! Tell your Mom hello. Thanks for listening, we appreciate all your support.

who is up next in hbk?

HBK is up next.

Whatsgood Suzie, I met you at Sage the Gemini's video shoot for "College Drop". You were a chill ass dude and even took my mixtape, thanks for that. My question to you is, do you feel like you've made it or you're still on the come up? You always seem conflicted about your feelings regarding getting signed or keeping it independent with HBK and you still have this underdog image despite some mainstream success. Thanks for doing this AMA and I hope to see you at the Pink Dolphin meet and greet!

I still feel like I'm on the come up, I still got a lot to do. See you on Saturday!

what happened to rance?

Rance is doing his own thing. He's pushing his music, salute to him.

[deleted]

A lot of cool stuff on the way. i don't want to give away any surprises but a lot of big stuff on the way.

Hey man, I love your music, you and your whole crew is killin it.

Who would you say is your biggest influence in music?

also, do you know what sample was used on "Hipster Girls", if there was one used at all?

Kanye and Pharrel are my biggest inspirations. I don't know what the sample was off the top of my head but shout out to Trackademicks.

Bumping College Dropout today?

Yeah for sure!

Yo Su Would u ever make a mixtape with Young L

Definitely!

Waspoppin! I just wanted to let you know my mom was teaching at de anza when you performed there with kool john, loverance, an I don't know who else. she's got nothing but love for you guys. Says you are "very nice boys"

Tell your Mom thank you!

Actually I got one thing... You seen/got any opinion on the shit Trae just dropped with DJ Fresh. Pretty damn cool seein one my favourite rappers from Houston droppin a tape with a great bay area producer. some good features on there too from j stalin, philthy rich.

Trae The Truth is a legend.

When did you guys know Dave Steezy was so fire?

Do you have high hope for the youngblood?

He just gave off a good vibe, I would always see him on bart when I was younger and he was always cool. We began to get to know each other and it was all love. I think he's the future.

Are you gonna make another project with problem?

Yeah hopefully we can make an album soon.

How did you meet Problem? Ive always wondered. Also try checking out R/trees

We have the same managers.

Suzy, Your an icon in the Bay. Recently moved to the LA and put everyone I knew on that HBK Gang. Kilt was my anthem and got me through some good times. I admire your hustle, flow and mob mentality. Shoutout to y'all putting some new hype and soul in the Bay. One question what was your inspiration for Jennifer Aniston? P.S. Show some love in Oakland hit us with a show please!

Jennifer Aniston was more like a freestyle, and I referenced her in a verse so I decided to name it that.

Will 'Sincerely Yours' be one of your "banger" albums, or will it be more laid back like KILT 2?

Also, whats your favorite verse of yours?

It's a blend of both. My favorite verse is a on a song off of Sincerely Yours and it's called "Lifetime"

How would you feel about a collab with Tech N9ne?

I think Tech N9ne is hella tight, I met him at Rock The Bells. I would love to work with him. Hopefully we can put that together.

I heard you recorded a verse for Yeezus. What happened/will it ever be released?

I was playing a prank on twitter and people took it hella serious.

When are you having the whole HBK concert, like the halloween concert?

Come to the In-Store at Pink Dolphin this Saturday in SF to find out.

How are you doing today? watching the olympics?

I'm feeling kinda sick and no I am not watching the Olympics

Go iceland

i would love to!

I'm more a east germany guy.

I'm down to travel the world.

Yo you one the best new people outta the bay now which i think got the best rap scene in general.

dont really got shit to ask but man you did a great job on that tape with problem, MDA.

Thank you!

top dog or blondies??

Blondies

Are you a big NBA fan? Who's your favorite player in the league?

I'm a big NBA fan, big Lakers fan and Kobe is my favorite player.

What was the thought process behind the music video for "Hipster Girls"?

Just trying to capture the bay area youth culture and just how the type of girls I like operate. And also try to capture it in a way where it wasn't demeaning and it was just fun.

Thanks for the next level hip hop that you and HBK put out. How and when did you get tight with the Pink Dolphin crew?

I met Cena through a friend of mine that's a video director and we just got real cool from there and just kept on building. We both kind of came up together, much love to the whole Pink Dolphin crew.

Was that a different video director than David Camarena? Because David makes some good shit for you guys.

Yes through Chris Simmons. David Camarena is awesome though!

Su What's Your Rarest Pink Dolphin Piece?

I don't know I have a lot of rare pieces.

Seen you in seattle 3 times and you always kill it, how often do you jump into the crowd during a show?

As much as I can.

Iamsu and Based God collabo?

Yessir

Yo $uzy! HUUUGE fan here.

First off, check out /r/hiphopheads. it's dope.

Second, don't stop what your doing man! I go to High School in the bay and you are a huge inspiration. Also it'd be dope if you added me on PSN, Cudder_Swirv. Your choice tho.

Also, HBK Gang is dope, you guys are a combination of hyphy and that early kanye sound rap, which are dope.

anyways, here's some questions, answer whatever!

1) Who can we expect as features on the album? Mostly HBK Gang, or non-local rappers too? Who's your favorite feature on the album? either E-40 or Problem would both be dope AF.

2) How did your mom feel hearing you on the radio on 'Gas Pedal' after hearing you on 'Who Booty'?

3) What's it like working with JB!?! Gonna go against Reddit popular opinion, his music is really dope.

4) Is it frustrating only featuring on singles that blow up? You've already been on 'Function', 'Up', 'Who Booty' and 'Gas Pedal' haha.

Just know the bay loves you bro. keep doing what you're doing, i'ma buy a copy of the album FOR SURE. thanks bro, huge fan.

My favorite feature on the album is Kool John.

My Mom thinks its funny.

Justin Bieber is super talented.

No. Thanks for your support!

Hey Iamsu!, been a fan of you and HBK since you dropped Young California! I love every project you have dropped and can't wait for your debut album.

*Who are the members in your producing group The Invasion?

*Who was your biggest inspiration?

P.s. Shout out to Kuya Beats, Jay ant and P-Lo! love your beats

Really appreciate all of the support!

Members of the Invasion are P-Lo, Kuya, Jay Ant, Chief, and myself.

My biggest inspiration would have to be Pharrell.

I really fucked with the miseducation of Iamsu, real raw record there, good wordplay, production was ill. my question is; whats your favorite song off that album and why?

My favorite record off Miseducation is "I'm Not You" its a Clipse beat and its just one of my favorite verse I really liked my delivery and style of beat.

Is Santa Cruz going to be on the upcoming tour?

Definitely! We love Santa Cruz.

Favorite places to eat in the Bay area?

Hunan Villa

What up Suzy? Love your shit, it's fresh and old school bay at the same time. Any chance you'll be working with more bay OG's on the new album? Also, how'd you get involved with Pink Dolphin and is there any chance I'll be able to grab the collab online?

Thanks for listening! The collab is an in-store only item and I'm definitely gonna work with some more bay area OGs.

I met Cena from Pink Dolphin through a friend who was video director and we kind of came up together.

Wusgood bruh. Young 415 native DMV stationed fan wonderin why there's never been a YG,Dom,or Nip collaboration with you or any other HBK member since YG hopped on UP! Pheel like as Californians y'all would mess wit eachother. Would be too dope

That would be tight.

Su whuttup. Big fan. All I have to ask is who out of the HBK gang do you think is the most underrated?

I don't think anybody in the gang is underrated.

Sendin love from Santa Barbara, Smallzville, Flats.

When you puttin Mike Dash E on?!

I was just with Mike Dash E last night!

I saw you live in Brooklyn (killed it, btw), and now I can tell my grandkids that I saw Gas Pedal performed live. For this I am forever grateful

Wow thank you!

What up Su! So what kind of music can your fans expect from "Sincerely Yours"? BTW keep up the good werk & thanks for doin it big for Tha Bay... YEE!

Great music!

Did you ever steal your bitches back?

Na, they was gone.

Hey IAmSu, big fan here and thanks for doing this AMA Is there any song you feel like you released and then regretted cuz you could've put some more work into it and made it that much better?

No.

Much love to Sacramento, it's a love of cute girls out there!

You the man! No lie my favorite rapper!! Which HBK members did you meet in high school?

Everybody.. Joe, Kuya, Chief, P-Lo, CJ pretty much everybody.

Hey suzy, I wanna congratulate on how far you came and staying as close to your brothers as you have along the way. What does it mean to you that P-Lo, Kool John, Skipper are all starting to get more recognition because a lot people thought you wouldn't make it big unless you decided to take your own path? Also will we see Dave steezy on the new album? Much love from the bay.

It means everything and that's what I set out to do. The fact that its becoming a reality means the most to me.

You will def be seeing Dave Steezy on the new album!

What is your favorite Sneaker?

My favorite sneaker is the Bred Jordan 16s or the Aqua 8s.

Suzy what up. Big fan from Avondale AZ can't wait to catch your performance I have to travel to Tucson 2 hour drive. What is your next video? Do you ever plan on signing to a label& if so who would you consider?

Wow thanks for making that drive! My next video is my single "Only That Real", I will potentially sign in the future.

Hey buddy. How your doin'? Ukraine supports you!

*I know you was talking about second part of MDA mixtape w/ Problem. When we can expect it - before #SincerelyYours drops or after that? *When can we expect new HBK' crew mixtape? *Also thank you for the new #OnlyThatReal single! So are you going to release another one single before #SincerelyYours drops?

And that's all. Also thank you for your videos, they're awesome. Don't stop go crazy Su. ;)

MDA 2 definitely coming after the album, HBK crew mixtape coming after the album as well. Definitely more singles coming.

What's good, man? Thanks for doing this. My question is, what was up with the track "Send It Up" that was on Yeezus? When it first leaked you were listed as a feature with King Louie, but you weren't even on there. I also believe there was a tweet you sent out about it, but was deleted. Were you originally supposed to be? If so, what happened?

It was just a twitter joke that went too far.

How tall are you? Im 6'2 and you still seem big next me lol Can't wait to grab a few copies of the album

I'm 6'4 and I appreciate that, hope you enjoy it,

Welcome Su! I've been a fan since you released Kilt, and I've loved every mixtape since.

Over the summer you came to San Luis Obispo and preformed at SLO Brew, and Cal Poly hadn't started up yet so I couldn't come to the show. I was wondering if you were planning on coming back during the school year once you go on another tour.

Thanks man! Much love from SLO.

We will for sure be back at SLO! Thanks for listening.
