'ONE OF THE BEST WE'VE EVER HEARD' (BRAD @ CD BABY)URB MAGAZINE 'Next 1000' Review:Melding classical music with pulsating beats and emcee Savage Suna€™s hard-hitting flow, the Missouri residenta€™s sound is unique and emotional. Helped along by a melancholy piano and dizzying violin work, Savage Sun is bringing the focus back to the music. With fourteen years in the game, 35 recorded songs, and eleven album features, Sun sees this as his perfect time to emerge out onto the scene with a solo album (The Art of Being Alive). Check out 'Forced'. (Aylin Zafar/URB Magazine)'You can't say it's only about the commercialism, the cribs and the money. You can't say rappers are teenage thugs lacking any real talent.
