Brace yourself, Sugs is back and I Ain’t Lyin’! might be his most wildly charming release yet. The musician, illustrator, and professional mischief-maker (pronounced “sh-ugs”, yes, like that) returns with a track that is equal parts chaotic, emotional, and gloriously unpredictable.

Since his first drop in 2018, Sugs has been quietly and loudly building one of the internet’s most delightfully strange underground corners. His music is a collision of cartoonish lyricism, sharp-tongued honesty, and feelings he probably pretends he doesn’t have. Call it Alternative Rap if you want, but that barely scratches the surface. Punk, techno, pop, full-on gremlin energy — if it sparks an emotion, Sugs throws it in the blender.

With I Ain’t Lyin’!, he levels up once again. The track is playful on the surface, but its production and delivery hit with a layered intensity that only Sugs could pull off. Produced by hrcnszn with additional elements, mixing, and full sonic chaos applied by Sugs in his bedroom studio, the song is stitched together from synths, samples, distortion, VSTs, old faithful gear, and the same microphone he has been shouting his truths into since 2017.

But this is not just another single. It is the opening chapter of something bigger.

“I’ve been working on a project for a bit. It has changed shape many times but I have always been inspired by the story of Pinocchio. This song is meant as a kind of world building for the things I am going to talk about in future songs.”

Pinocchio, but make it weird, emotional, and a little chaotic. This new universe promises fantasy, misdirection, self-discovery, and enough twists to make a puppet’s head spin.

Fun, frantic, heartfelt, and bursting with imagination, I Ain’t Lyin’! is the sound of Sugs expanding his world one explosive, fantastical beat at a time. And if this is the first chapter, the rest of the story is going to be wild.

Sugs is not just releasing music. He is building a universe. And he definitely ain’t lyin’.
