blacksun is the hip-hop brainchild of Birmingham, Alabama-based lyricist and producer Jeffrey Brooks. Founded as a way to channel his lifelong creative ambitions into a full-time musical career, Black Sun draws on influences from Nipsey Hussle, Nas, Kevin Gates, Ice Cube and Travis Porter, passing them through a lens that reflects its creator’s real life experiences with racism, relationships, and going through depression, and channeling them into sophisticated and organically flowing beats and rhymes with a ratchet edge. With a handful of singles already released, Black Sun is gearing up for a big year ahead, with several more singles in the works and plans for a handful of live performances on the horizon — both to be announced in due time.
