The Black Sunn - Hip Hop's Lament [Premiere]
Artist: The Black Sunn
Producer: Mydus
Album: Refined Hype: 1 Year Anniversary Ed.
Label: Unsigned
There’s nothing wrong with a good time, but unless you’re T-Pain, your life contains at least some measure of pain and struggle, and, unless you are T-Pain, you’re not T-Pain. Did that make sense? The point is, one of Baltimore’s dopest young emcees The Black Sunn is back in the Booth with his new track Hip-Hop’s Lament, a cut that finds frequent collaborator Mydus lacing a somber, jazzy beat that Black Sunn uses to exploit hip-hop’s potential to serve as cathartic musical medication for what ails you. I’m afraid that sounded way too deep and complicated, so let me put it this way: this track is dope. You should listen to it. Now. Well, what are you waiting for? Hip-Hop’s Lament is a standout cut off RefinedHype: 1 Year Anniversary Edition, an entirely exclusive mixtape celebrating, you guessed it, the one year anniversary of DJBooth’s partner site RefinedHype.com (out August 19). For more B-More based beats and rhymes, keep an ear out for Black Sunn and 810’s upcoming collab project, in the works now.

Sometimes there isn't enough going on with a track to get the listener excited, while other times there is too much going on with a track (and you forget rather quickly what you're listening to.) Luckily for us, Black Sunn keeps it simple here, spitting over a dope beat with no gimmicks.
Do as Nathan said (above) and listen... now.

Black Sunn killed this and Mydus' production is always refreshing. Him and 810 are the real deal. Cant wait for their tape together.

The gloomy piano sample creates a great backdrop for Sunn's lyrical display. This track is hot.

You know what I like about Black Sunn? He's a rapper that cares first and foremost about rapping. Imagine that.
This reminds me of the hip-hop I used to listen to late nights in Boston on 88.9 - hip-hop for people who truly love hip-hop. It may be a lament, but it makes me want to celebrate.

This track is everything hip hop is at the core. Its about story telling behind a simple back drop, uplifting the words of the artist behind the mic. Mission accomplished.
