Suga Free, whose real name is Dejuan Walker, is an American rapper renowned for his distinctive flow and authentic representation of the pimp lifestyle in his music. Born on January 17, 1970, in Gardena, California, and raised in Compton, Suga Free was brought into the spotlight in the late 1990s after being discovered by DJ Quik. His debut album, "Street Gospel," came out in 1997 to critical acclaim, especially with the hit single "If U Stay Ready." This success cemented his place in the West Coast rap scene, characterized by his quick-witted lyrical style interwoven with the lingo and themes from the pimp subculture.

Over a career spanning more than two decades, Suga Free has remained a respected figure in the hip-hop community, known for his unapologetic honesty and humorous take on relationships and street life. His recent releases, such as "Pomonavirus" and "That's My Bitch," continue to showcase his unique style and lyrical prowess. Despite a relatively low media profile compared to mainstream artists, he maintains a dedicated fanbase and influence among his peers. With tracks like "Vice City" and its remix featuring the likes of Hit-Town and Jay Worthy, as well as stand-alone singles like "Game Over" and "Or Na," Suga Free stays true to his roots while engaging with the evolving soundscapes of hip-hop.
