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.

(Rama-lama-lama, bop-she-bop-she-bop, seven-day weekend)
Well, I wish that I could have myself, a seven-day weekend
Tired of sittin' on the shelf until the weekend
Friday after school, I pick my baby up
We dance and party till Sunday night
I wish that there could be a seven-day weekend
I'm gonna make a plea for a seven-day weekend
And if it came about, life would be success
I'd run on out and have a ball
And never go to school at all
Monday, seven picture shows
Tuesday, you know, anything goes
A-Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, too
I'd party and Twist the whole week through
All day I dream about a seven-day weekend
I sit and scheme and scheme and scheme
'Bout a seven-day weekend
The teacher calls my name and I'm in another world
I'm just thinkin' about a seven-day weekend
Yay-yay-yay-yay-yeah
A-well, Monday, a-seven picture shows
You know, Tuesday, yeah, anything goes
Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, too
I'd party and Twist the whole week through
All day I dream about a seven-day weekend
I sit and scheme and scheme and scheme
'Bout a seven-day weekend
The teacher calls my name and I'm in another world
I'm just thinkin' about a seven-day weekend
Yeah! A seven-day weekend
(Shabba-dabba-dabba-doh)
Don'tcha know I'm thinkin' 'bout a seven-day
(Shabba-dabba-dabba-doh)
Yeah! A seven-day weekend
(Shabba-dabba-dabba-doh)
I'm thinkin' 'bout a seven-day weekend
(Shabba-dabba-dabba-doh)
Yeah, seven-day, seven-day
(Shabba-dabba-dabba-doh)
Yeah! A seven-day weekend
(Shabba-dabba-dabba-doh)
Wo!
The song "Weekend" by S.u.n is about the desire for a prolonged weekend. The lyrics describe the frustration of only having two days off per week and the longing for a seven-day weekend to be able to spend more time with loved ones and have fun. The repetition of "Rama-lama-lama, bop-she-bop-she-bop, seven-day weekend" creates a catchy and playful rhythm that emphasizes the desire for an extended break.
The verses describe the singer's routine of waiting for the weekend and picking up their partner to dance and party until Sunday night. The idea of a seven-day weekend is so appealing to the singer that they daydream about it during class and scheme about how they would spend their time. The chorus reinforces the desire for a prolonged break, and the repetition of the phrase "seven-day weekend" solidifies the singer's longing.
Overall, the song expresses a relatable feeling of wanting more time to enjoy life and reflects on the idea that the working week can be all-consuming.

Well, I wish that I could have myself, a seven-day weekend
Expressing the desire to have an uninterrupted long weekend
Tired of sittin' on the shelf until the weekend
Being unoccupied and waiting for the weekend to arrive
Friday after school, I pick my baby up
