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.
The Beginning Of The End

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
This is my world
Are you ready to hear it?
The World According to James Sevenish
This is the beginning of the end
Now you can't escape from here
The world was on fire when the son arrived
The flames of hell fell on his world
I saw hope fade on my feet
I saw her fall into her own addiction
Fading into my arms
The son comes towards the beginning of the end
Defying his fate against the red sky
This is the beginning of the end
The flames will fall on your world
Walking the destroyed streets of California
Heading to route sixty-nine to find you again
The son arrives towards the beginning of the end
Defying his fate against the red sky
I feel the devil following me
On the dark path of my sins
The son feels the darkness in his heart
Feeling the fire fall on your feet
This is the beginning of the end
The devil will fall in my world
In the darkest hour he will reign
In his own subreal world
The song "The Beginning Of The End" by S.u.n. is a haunting and powerful track that paints a picture of a world consumed by fire and darkness. The lyrics speak of a man named James Sevenish, who is at the center of this world, and the arrival of the son who defies his fate against the red sky. The singer, who may be James or the son, is surrounded by madness, addiction, and despair. He sees people lost and afraid, and even his own love falling into his arms as all hope fades away.
The lyrics convey a sense of inevitability and doom, as the "beginning of the end" arrives and there is no escaping the flames that will fall on the world. The singer walks the destroyed streets of California, searching for someone or something, while feeling the presence of the devil following him on the path of his sins. The son, on the other hand, is facing the darkness in his heart and the fire falling on his feet, as he tries to defy his fate and bring hope back into the world.
Overall, "The Beginning Of The End" is a powerful and intense track that explores themes of despair, hopelessness, and the struggle to find light in a world consumed by darkness. The lyrics are open to interpretation, but they seem to suggest that even in the midst of chaos and destruction, there is still a glimmer of hope and a chance for redemption.

Welcome to my nightmare
I am presenting you with a glimpse into my twisted reality
This is my world
I live in a place where darkness rules
Are you ready to hear it?
Are you willing to listen to my story?
The World According to James Sevenish
My life is defined by my own twisted perspective
This is the beginning of the end
The start of the end of the world as we know it
Now you can't escape from here
You are now trapped in my nightmare world
The world was on fire when the son arrived
When the singer entered the world, it was already engulfed in flames
The flames of hell fell on his world
The fires of damnation rained down on his reality
I saw people get lost in their own madness
I witnessed individuals succumb to their own insanity
I saw hope fade on my feet
All hope disappeared right before my eyes
I saw her fall into her own addiction
I witnessed a woman become consumed by her own addiction
Fading into my arms
She turned to me for comfort and support
The son comes towards the beginning of the end
The singer marches towards the end of the world
Defying his fate against the red sky
He refuses to accept the fate that has been laid out for him by destiny
The flames will fall on your world
The fires of damnation will consume everything in your reality
Walking the destroyed streets of California
Making his way through a post-apocalyptic version of the state
Heading to route sixty-nine to find you again
Searching for someone significant to him via a specific route
I feel the devil following me
Sensing the presence of evil in his vicinity
On the dark path of my sins
Living a life consumed by immoral actions
The son feels the darkness in his heart
The artist is aware of the evil in his soul
Feeling the fire fall on your feet
Experiencing the pain and suffering wrought by the fires of damnation
The devil will fall in my world
Even the forces of darkness are not immune to the end of the world
In the darkest hour he will reign
Even when the world is enveloped in darkness, evil will still be present
In his own subreal world
Evil will always thrive in its own twisted version of reality
