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.

Everything I do is cool
Be the baddest motherfucker
Is my one and only rule
Got a hundred honeys on me
Got the whole team on my crew
If you thinking you can top me
You must be a fucking fool
I said the baddest motherfucker
Go outside to get the mail
And somehow bag another lover
Like ugh
I be out here burning rubbers
Got the whole world in my hand
And your mother in the other
Like ooh
You know I always do it big
Parties every night
I keep it jumping at the crib
And your girl
You know you better keep her hid
I be swooping in to scoop her
Win her over bit by bit
Bend her over real quick
Even better if she thick
Like a caramel Frappuccino
Brown sugar with the whip
You know I got to get it quick
It just basic arithmetic
Your whole world
Plus your girl
Equals my new favorite shit
Bitch I'm Cool
Everything I do is cool
Be the baddest motherfucker is my one and only rule
Got a hundred honeys on me
Got the whole team on my crew
If you thinking you can top me
You must be a fucking fool
Bitch I'm cool
I'm cool, calm, collecting hoes
I can only stay winning everywhere I go
Even your moms know my name
Said she love my game
Sparked up a flame and the rest you know
I'm whipping and rolling
She want little sip
When I'm holding
Even when it's time to dip
Know she rolling
We gone take a little trip
Down the road and
She a good girl but the baddest bitch
Got her lips fixed for another kiss
Trying to play mean get a slap on the wrist
Make your chick switch like the Omnitrix
Damn they all got it bad
You can check the arms
Check the abs
You can check the pecs
I'm a walking big flex
You could never be me so I get why you you're mad
I'm the MVP that's why I'm slapping ass
She cheering me on want me to run it back
Can't hold me down always moving on fast
She hit me up say that she got some tasks
Some friends of hers need some cracked backs
Heard the word round school is I got it like that
Got them running like a faucet with some legs on a track
Ain't a single fucking thing in this world that I lack
I'm the best
Bitch I'm Cool
Everything I do is cool
Be the baddest motherfucker is my one and only rule
Got a hundred honeys on me
Got the whole team on my crew
If you thinking you can top me
You must be a fucking fool
Bitch I'm cool

I been listening to Sass Jordan since the early 90's. This chick can sing her ass off. Sadly she doesn't get the recognition she deserves. She's still kicking ass and is still HOTTER than a lot of women half her age. Rock On Sass!

Brian Tichy played drums for Zakk Wylde's fantastic "Pride & Glory" album. He is an unreal talent.
