"You can't say it's only about the commercialism, the cribs and the money. You can't say rappers are teenage thugs lacking any real talent. You can't - because rappers such as Stockton's The Savage Sun will be there to prove you wrong." (Ian Hill/Columnist/Stockton Record & 209VIBE)

Evolution. Elevation. Darkness. Light. Deeply descriptive & thoughtfully profound lyrical expression; heart wrenching yet inspirational artistic alchemy; fierce but uplifting & ever believing true-tale stories from the street, as seen through the eyes of one man. Topics Include: praise to the Most High; social rebellion against government crimes; maintaining warrior status; respect for Hip-Hop culture; hope in the face of impossible struggle; honor of the self; storms of the heart.
