Ron Suno
This Bronx-raised drill rapper -- who broke through with a 2019 single "Pinocchio" -- is also a successful comedian and online celebrity, responsible for the creation of several online viral challenges.
He was born Keron Foriest, and raised in Co-op City in the northeast Bronx. Although drill is normally associated with nearby Brooklyn, at the age of 13 he began rapping and making low-budget productions in the genre with titles like "Murder" and "Water." Alongside Siri Dinero, it was the latter track with which he made his musical debut. Two years later, he broadened his scope by becoming an online comedian. By 2017, he'd amassed over half-a-million followers after creating the Weave Challenge. Returning to music, he released the New Boss EP in 2019 on his own newly formed SBL label. The late-2019 singles "Ball" and "Flows" followed, but it was with November 2019's pop-infused "Pinocchio" that he found success, achieving over ten million streams within nine months. The track prefaced June 2020's Swag Like Mike, an EP dedicated to Michael Jackson, Michael Jordan, and Mike Tyson that also included the singles "Spider-Man" and "Nunchucks."
All this time, Ron Suno was continuing to upload comedy, but was careful to keep it separate from his music. By the middle of 2020, he was being managed by Avery MsArtistry and had over one million followers on one social media service alone, a figure mostly attributable to his comedy work. In September 2020, he guested on DJ Drewski's "MOP" and the following month released his own one-off single, "Netflix." Between those two tracks he issued "Wraith," a collaboration with DDG that was the first material from his next project, Jokes Up. As the title suggests, the July 2021 set was an attempt to distance himself further from comedy. It featured contributions from artists such as Sheff G, Fetty Wap, and Dusty Locane. Late 2021 and early 2022 also brought numerous collaborative non-EP tracks with kindred spirits like BigKayBreezy, PashaPG, Rah Swish, Cookiee Kawaii, and Badda TD. In June 2022, he issued a version of "What They Gon Say" with Rowdy Rebel -- a track he'd originally released late the previous year. This revamped take -- along with "Shoes," a piece recorded with Dusty Locane and Rah Swish -- ultimately appeared on August's Suno Mode. The following month brought a fully collaborative project, Say Dat, on 95MM Records, with equal input from Suno, Dusty Locane, Rah Swish, and OnPointLikeOP. Suno closed out the year with "2.5" with New Jersey's Torchhh.
