The itch to put out a solo album became overwhelming as some of his music and lyrics were only relevant for a solo release. Sun's always made his music for himself first, so in late '97 Sun began recording his tour-de-force, "Shining Underground" and brought his whole vision to life.
With the release of this album, Sun has not only received the love and respect of his hip-hop community, but has received high praise from some in the music press. MTV on-line writer, Christina Branson, had this to say of his performance at U of M, Michigan: "Hip Hop phenomenon S.U.N. aka Santonio Hughbanks lit up Club Heidleberg with sweet beats and lyrical finesse. The promising rapper dropped verses from his debut album "Shining Underground" (Black Soul On Vinyl) causing the crowd to bob their heads and chant: S.U.N." Underground Soundz Magazine confirms "distinct styles and hard edged lyrical delivery... advanced poetical stylings... definitely some of the most exciting hip hop to come from Michigan." His music has been used as sound track for an independent film. His current album continues to sell heavily in the midwest and across the nation.
"T.H.U.G. (True Heart Under Ground)" is the first single from the album. Sun views himself and many in his community as "underground", not just in music, but in life... struggling underground, away from the system. He redefines the term thug- taking away from its original meaning. "Shining Underground" is another highlight from the album giving enlightening insight into the mind of a free thinker. On "Just For a Minute" his ingenious sampling of Q-Tip's very recognizable line from "Got Til It's Gone" by Janet Jackson makes a pleasing backdrop for his lyricism. The album features several other rappers including Invincible, Paradime, Mr. Sinns, Browne & Bizarre.
Production was handled by relative newcomer Tink Thomas for Produk Productions. His hip hop tracks are structured and clean. Thomas is a unique new talent in his own right.
Off stage, S.U.N. is relaxed and contemplative. His live shows are spontaneous; "it's the point when God manifests." With that said, you can be sure freestyle will be a present element. One of his personal quotes is "Underground music should be felt not heard."
S.U.N. is looking to sign to a major or well poised independent who knows how to break a hip hop artist nationally with DJs, media and retail. Silent Records is quickly becoming well known for its high standards in hip hop's purist style. The label is positioning itself to be picked up by a heavyweight distributor or label.

Don’t never know what I’m running from
I always seem like I’m just havin fun

Can you please just come and speak into my ear and wipe away all of my fears
I don’t wanna be right here

Please just get up shut the fuck up get up out my hair oh no

I wake up every morning askin when will it come to an end
I dont wanna wait around till the end of time
Maybe one day you'll come back and you'll say im fine
The lyrics of S.u.n.'s song "Fun" are introspective and contemplative, with the singer unsure of what they're running from but determined to have fun and not be held back by anyone else's negativity. The singer is struggling with their mental health, feeling like death is coming near and asking someone to speak into their ear and wipe away their fears. They also express frustration with people who only ask about mental health as a formality, without really caring. The singer talks about hitting licks and rapping like the brown Charlie Daniels, wanting to get down on their knees to please someone, and expressing loyalty to their loved ones. The song ends with a sense of uncertainty and a desire for things to come to an end.
This song presents a complex and vulnerable perspective on life, mental health, and the search for happiness. The repeated refrain "I don't never know what I'm running from, I always seem like I'm just having fun" captures the feeling of people who are struggling with depression or anxiety but putting on a facade of happiness to avoid burdening others or being vulnerable. The singer's longing for someone to understand and comfort them is relatable, as is their frustration with people who don't take mental health seriously.
