Under the guidance of ShoRoc Production, the trio arrived on the soca scene as Treason - later changing to 3Suns (same pronunciation) because of copyright reasons. In 2000 their hit single "Dat Eh Nuttin (On de Promenade)" became an anthem for Trinidads Carnival season, despite some critics objections over the songs explicit hook. 3Suns forged on - dropping the widely popular, chutney-influenced single "Kama Sutra" produced by Nicholas Branker. Both tracks are featured on their independent album Insanely Gifted, which debuted in 2002 to great reviews. Other hits include "Wah is Dah One" and the jouvert-inspired "Muddy Angels."
By 2003, 3Suns made a name for themselves for having an unprecedented sound - combining rude boy soca, with classic calypso and dub vibes. Subsequently, they released their sophomore album Word on the Street on VP Records. The album contains notable tracks "Carnival Darlin," "By D Bar" and "Dread Presidents" - the latter two featuring collaboration with fellow ragga soca star Bunji Garlin. Word on the Street proved a success - in the Caribbean and abroad - leading to a second VP distribution in 2004 for the album Definitely. Hot singles are "Apology," "Hot Girls," and "3Suns Family Go Done Dem" among others. By this time, the gritty bad boy lyrics and rootsy melodies were becoming 3Sunstrademark. Folks took notice, and the group was invited to perform at the hugely popular Reggae on D River concert in California - alongside hitmakers Beenie Man, Capleton, Bounty Killer, the legendary Bunny Wailer and many others.
Its been six years since 3Suns began their journey in the industry - amidst nay sayers opposed to their brand of music; still it hasnt prevented the group from securing a loyal fan base in their native Trinidad, as well as head-lining internationally in Boston, London, Washington DC, New York and throughout the Caribbean. 3Suns unconventional approach has been well-received, and their eccentric sound continues to make traction in an industry that remains on the cusp of international notoriety. The groups hard-hitting lyrics, blended in classic Calypso roots, have resonated with Trinidads street culture - the lifeblood of their underground sound. Their motto - "keep it real" says it all. More than any other artist in the genre, 3Suns is real and versatile enough to take their music to the world.

3 Suns Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I can see that this love was meant for me
Only a poor fool never schooled in the whirlpool
Of romance could be so cruel as you are to me
My dreams are as worthless as tin to me
Without you life will never begin to be
So love me as I love you in my reverie
Make my dream a reality
Come to me in my reverie
Our love is a dream, but in my reverie
I can see that this love was meant for me
Only a poor fool never schooled in the whirlpool
Of romance could be so cruel as you are to me
My dreams are as worthless as tin to me
Without you life will never begin to be
So love me as I love you in my reverie
Make my dream a reality
Let's dispense with formality
Come to me in my reverie
