The next total solar eclipse may not be until July of next year (props to NASA!), but tonight our resident stargazers will have the opportunity to witness a similarly rare and captivating event: the Booth debut of up-and-coming rapper The Black Sunn. On EP inclusion Who I Am, the Baltimore native gives his soon-to-be-fans a taste of what he’s all about. Over Damu the Fudgemunk‘s lightly jazzy, retro-informed boardwork, Sunn showcases his acrobatically chill flow in verses that blend background info with expressionistic braggadocio and social commentary, offering his thoughts on everything from marijuana (he likes it) to organized religion (not so much). With a poetic lyrical sensibility and plenty of old-school appeal, The Black Sunn is clearly “poised to go far” in the game, and his cerebral, head-nodding style is sure to earn him shine from Booth readers. Fans can hear more from this rising star on his The Sunn Is Black EP, scheduled to drop next Tuesday, Sept. 29.

Damu's old-school boardwork had my head bobbin and Black Sunn showed his skills on here, so this is def worth rotating. Has control over the entire record ... Rotation fa sho!

Don't mean to get distracted, but this track was produced by Damu the Fudgemunk? That's got to be the one of the strangest names I've ever heard in hip-hop - I defy you to come up with a stranger one.

Anyway, definitely a solid effort from Black Sunn. Has a real laid-back old school vibe.

Def a throwback of that 90's era stuff (that hooked most on hip hop). After MANY submissions, "Who I Am" is the straw the camel's back - we had to feature.
