OLDMANTAN’s new single “Suppressed 6” explores his determination to succeed—both in music and in life. Through introspective bars, he opens up about his longing for real love, spiritual alignment, and the drive to create timeless records. It’s raw, honest, and rooted in purpose. Over a speaker-knocking, boom-bap beat produced by Aman, the prolific emcee lays out his search for genuine connection. Whether in his art or personal life, he’s not chasing trends: he’s after something with real substance. Lyrics like “Lines from The Sun my deal / I need better distribution when it’s on the table” underscore how seriously he takes his craft, and how deeply he wants his music to connect and reach more people.
From there, he raps about wanting someone who matches his energy and respects his grind.
When he spits, “I need you to put in what I put in to eat with me / And if not, set the table / I made the meal,” OLDMANTAN is making it clear: he values mutual effort. And if they didn’t help build it, the least they can do is show up and support. The lines “In the kitchen whipping tracks from scratch up / I lay in bed with you, wake up out it scratched up” show how hands-on he is: both in the studio and in his relationships.
The lyrics are full of honesty. He’s not interested in fake relationships or fast fame. He wants love that lasts, a family, and a comfortable life. Bars like “My eyes on the prize still want a fam and a black truck / Garbage bag black tints on the crib when we shack up,” bring the narrative home. As the song continues, he opens up about his aspirations and the need for acceptance along his journey. When he raps, “Place where I could lay my heart, express my soul for thrill / Consistency and patience whenever discussing Tan’s career,” he’s expressing a desire for a space where he can be his full, authentic self. He knows that reaching his goals will take time, consistency, and real dedication.
One of the best parts of the song is how focused he remains. He’s still chasing his goals, still showing love, and still keeping his spirit strong. At the same time, he makes it clear that he’s not chasing fame. In the lines “F**k an Instagram or a YouTube channel / We all gon be live,” he emphasizes that he’s all about authenticity, not how he’s perceived online.
Ultimately, “Suppressed 6” is about growth, truth, acceptance, and staying solid through it all. OLDMANTAN’s message is clear: he’s not here for gimmicks or faking, just real life, real emotions, and real work.
