The Black Sunn - Black Serenade [Premiere]
Artist: The Black Sunn
Featuring: 810
Producer: Damu the Fudgemunk
Album: Sol Parables EP
Label: Unsigned
The Black Sunn has been coming with a stream of Booth-praised tracks lately, and to add to his collection of microphone onslaughts, we’re now presented with one of Sunn’s most lyrically realistic tracks, Black Serenade. Over a coarse melody and gritty beat, Sunn half-humorously tells us about the struggle to get paid (and make sure your money is your business). With a guest feature from fellow Baltimore native 810, who lays down a verse captivating enough to have some doubting its spontaneous development (”This verse wasn’t rehearsed at all…”), and spot-on production from frequent collaborator Damu the Fudgemunk (which sounds like a hip-hop version of The Doors to me), Serenade achieves what it was crafted to do: hold our attention. Serenade should tide impatient listeners over until the release of Sunn’s DJBooth.net-hosted EP Sol Parables due out on February 25. In the meantime, feel free to marvel over this talented emcee’s skills so that you’re not entirely caught off guard when the EP drops.

If people are wondering why Black Sunn has been getting (what seems like) weekly features its because... drum roll please... he keeps sending us dope music. Not everything gets approved (just ask him how long it took to get that first feature), but lately he is on a hot streak.
I am really looking forward to his collabo mixtape with 810.

Definitely a slightly different style from Black Sunn, a little harder than his usual quasi-abstract style, but it definitely works. I couldn't help bu nod my head. Feel like the hook could have used a little work, but other than that, this one's on repeat.

Both Black Sunn and 810 holds down the lyrical department, but again it’s the production that fails to grab me. Though, better than that BOOG and Spizzy collaboration, it lacks the extra touches to elevate the joint to that next level. Rotation fa sho!

While this is certainly rotation worthy, his hooks ALWAYS disinterest me.
