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 wanna play this game no more, so I can't way for the day I leave here
So I can get into my zone
I get teaching to my own
There's a lot of me that need to see clear
I don't wanna stay no more, I say no more
I fear
Everybody pulling me down they like gravity
Feels like I'm losing the light and my sanity
Maybe it's cause I'm living the life that might damage me
Tell me what you gon' do for me?
What if I need to hold something too?
Could you do for me like I always do for you?
Whether the sky is gray or the sun come out
Sometimes I don't wanna see nobody, I don't wanna see nobody, yeah yeah yeah
The sky is gray or the sun come out
Cause I don't wanna see nobody, I don't wanna see nobody
Let it all out
All the problems in the world, got to let it go
All the problems in the world, got to let them go
Let it all out
All the problems in the world, got to let it go
All the problems in the world, got to let them go
Feel like the whole world coming down on me hittin' like a mad truck, yeah yeah
Baby mom's and my landlord got my credit cards all maxed up, yeah yeah
Everybody want something, nobody want to put no cash up, yeah yeah yeah yeah
And when you was balling never call my ass up, damn

The lyrics of S.u.n.'s song "Let It All Out" delve into the need to escape from the pressures and expectations of society. The singer expresses their desire to break free from the constant demands and distractions of everyday life. They crave solitude and the opportunity to find their own path and purpose. The repetition of the line "I don't wanna see nobody" reflects their desire to distance themselves from others and find solace within themselves.
The lyrics also touch on the struggles of dealing with personal issues and external pressures. The singer feels overwhelmed and suffocated by the weight of their problems. The mention of financial difficulties and the loss of a friend emphasize the emotional and mental toll it takes on them. However, there is a glimmer of hope in the acknowledgement that their friend is in a better place.
The chorus serves as a cathartic release, urging the listener to let go of all the problems and burdens in the world. It encourages individuals to detach themselves from the negativity and to focus on finding inner peace and happiness. The repetition of the phrase "let it go" emphasizes the importance of not allowing external factors to consume and control one's life.
