professional debut in 2000, 3Suns, then known as Treason, was considered 'the new definition of soca'. Now, five years on, the trio, Ace, Menace and Crym, are that and much more. They are a combination of various music styles fused together,making a sound that is uniquely 3Suns.
Managed and produced by top producer Shoroc(Ken Holder)and his wife Rachel,the band splashed onto the scene with On de Promenade(Dah Ent Nuttin)in 2000.Then, in 2001,they proved that they were no ‘one hit wonder,’group with songs Kamasutra a Chutney-influenced song and War Amongst the Stars.
The year 2002 opened up 3Suns to a whole new world, with the release of their first album, Insanely Gifted. The album includes some of their previous hits, such as Wah Is Dah Won and Dah Is Nuttin. In 2003 their second album, Word on the Street, which contains hits like Carnival Darling, War Contract, By the Bar, Muddy Angels and Sincerely Boo, was chosen by the executives of VP Records for distribution. The success of We Eh Leaving, Living in the World, and Hot Girls, from their third album Definitely, cemented their place in the T&T music scene.
With their motto,'
'Keep it real', the group is currently working on their new album, as yet un-set to be released later in the year. It promises to showcase their maturity and to bring them across into the mainstream music industry. Collaborations can be expected with both Jamaican and American artists.
Producer Shoroc is quoted as saying that the upcoming album, "Takes all of 3Suns’ strengths from previous albums, and comments from their loyal fans, and places 3Suns on a level that is totally original and compatible with the universal expectations and standards."
Menace (Sherwin Jeremiah) is known for his aggressive and bold approach to his music, which creates a rough edge to a smooth package. He is the youngest member of this Sangre Grande band, and his signature call, "I'm a bad boy," says it all.
Crym - meaning crazy rhymer - (Olufemi Williams) adds a crazy vibe to the troublesome trio. He is the group's element of spontaneity, making it continuously wacky.
Ace (Damian Oliverie), the oldest band member, takes this business of group togetherness very seriously. He is known as the charmer: laid-back and and easy flowing; "Ace is always in place," they say.
Influences on the band include Machel Montano,Cro Cro, Bounty Killer and Busta Rhymes.
Today their ever popular songs for 2006 can be heard almost everywhere they are the slow loving song 'Do Wap' and the fast chick fighting song 'Run Dat'.

Let's speak fax
Yeah
Starting to ask myself some questions
Put myself in other people shoes and they start acting like its nothing
They making it so hard to live lustless
Claiming they was with me when they know they really wasn't
Like you can come and ask me anything I'll give you dozen
Then you start to do some dumb shit
Like before I was trusting
Now I see you different I can't even stick to fronting
Like nigga what are you doing
Years strong coming from the past
I got my first investment we was glad
That we trying to find a way up out the bumpy road fast
Made excuses made us clash I'm still focused while in class
But we different though
I can't even compare and contrast
Doing shit that got me traumatized and made my life flash
Man I know you remember when everybody always laughed
Got to be motivated to get inside that bag
Friday night no matter what we used to rock out
Too bad we had to lock in cause we was finna pop out
No problems getting rides Yo bend that corner you can stop now
Don't know how to act them people really had the cops out
But we was just some jits ain't have no purpose
Can't even say that about now because I've been working
All of a sudden I'm not a real nigga cause I'm learning
What ever type of jealous shit that is you know you lurking
Had to find a way to get rid of all of my curses
That I can relate to cause no one wanna save you
Playing Rod on the road tryna find a great view
Shit wasn't possible I'm not made nobody came through
2020 I can't even blame you
But now its no excuses why you can't just have the same view
I left the whole state and had to come back for the same 2
I tried to hand you shit to work I guess that I can't make you
I guess I really helped but don't expect for me to pay you
Living in Pilot
Back and forth morning and night
A nigga was smiling
Miss my momma
Gotta go back and speak to her in private
I'm glad I'm not one of these jits
That's really turning to violence
No one ready for it so I'm silent
Living in Pilot
Back and forth morning and night
A nigga was smiling
Miss my momma
Gotta go back and speak to her in private
I'm glad I'm not one of these jits
That's really turning to violence
No one ready for it so I seem to stick to silence
In "Living In The World," 3suns delves into a complex landscape of introspection and personal growth, reflecting on the challenges of navigating relationships and societal expectations. The lyrics open with a sense of disillusionment, as the artist questions the authenticity of those around him, expressing his struggle to remain untainted in a lust-filled world. This notion is highlighted by contrasting his efforts to understand others' perspectives with their dismissive behavior towards deeper issues, effectively showcasing a disconnect that weighs heavily on him. The phrase "they making it so hard to live lustless" symbolizes a broader critique of a culture that prioritizes superficial desires over meaningful connections. In this context, 3suns portrays himself as a sincere seeker of truth amid a backdrop of deceit and pretense.
As the song progresses, the artist reflects on past friendships and the evolution of his journey. He recounts milestones such as achieving his first investment, a moment of pride that signifies growth and ambition amidst adversity. Yet, the lyrics also convey a troubling sense of betrayal and isolation. He hints at the rifts that develop when aspirations clash with the lethargy or indifference of those once close to him. By inviting listeners to “put themselves in other people’s shoes,” 3suns underscores a crucial empathetic approach while acknowledging the painful realization that not everyone shares the same vision or drive for personal growth. This internal struggle becomes a catalyst for self-reflection, marking a decisive shift from trust to skepticism as he learns to recognize the depth of his experiences and the people around him.
Further, 3suns touches on the trauma of his past and how it shapes his current outlook. The lines reflect a childhood filled with laughter overshadowed by emotional scars, emphasizing a stark contrast between carefree innocence and the gravity of adult responsibilities. The nostalgia for simpler times is palpable, yet the artist acknowledges the necessity of moving forward despite the obstacles. Amidst this realization, the lyrics convey a sense of resilience as he finds motivation in hardships, indicating a refusal to succumb to the pressures of his environment. This journey illustrates the duality of life's experiences—both uplifting and burdensome—while reinforcing the idea that personal evolution can arise from even the most turbulent situations.
Lastly, the chorus and recurring themes of familial connection and inner peace emerge as a poignant conclusion. The repeated references to his mother underscore a longing for comfort and guidance, revealing a desire to reconnect with foundational roots. The artist expresses gratitude for steering clear of violence, signifying a conscious choice to embrace peace rather than become a victim of his circumstances. This self-awareness contrasts with the prevalence of violence surrounding him, encapsulating a hopeful yet realistic perspective of resilience. Ultimately, 3suns concludes with a depiction of living in a world fraught with challenges, yet armed with the lessons of the past, he emerges determined not only to overcome but also to uplift others through his journey.
