Thick of It is a 2024 song by British YouTuber and rapper KSI, featuring Trippie Redd, and its catchy chorus quickly made it a favourite for short-form videos and memes. The 'sus' version is a playful fan-made edit that leans into internet slang for suspicious behaviour, especially the Among Us-inspired joke about someone acting shady. Shared on soundboards and in edited clips, it spread because it turns a chart song into an instant reaction cue, letting creators flag a dodgy moment without saying a word.
About this sound
A meme edit of KSI's 'Thick of It' with a suspicious, playful twist, used in videos to call out awkward or questionable moments and funny reveals.
This clip takes the instantly recognisable hook from KSI's Thick of It and twists it into a meme-ready 'sus' version, keeping the swagger of the original while making it sound cheekier and more suspicious. The vocals and beat hit in a short, punchy burst that is easy to drop over a reaction, a reveal, or a moment when someone is clearly up to something. It works because listeners already know the song, so the altered tone lands straight away as a joke rather than just background music, turning an ordinary clip into a knowing wink at the audience.
