about

Refusing to subscribe to the success-is-only-in-such-and-such-a-big-city mentality plaguing independent artists around the country, Native Sun celebrates raw, honest hip hop on their debut album Step into the Light. The album’s 10 tracks of well-crafted beats and vivid lyricism flow together seamlessly, giving the listener unromanticized tales of the Indianapolis trio’s fight to earn a place as an influential voice in hip hop. Inspired by masters like Pete Rock, Kanye West, Q Tip, Nas and DJ Premier, Step into the Light is definitely for those who favor dope music over name recognition.

about

Native Sun Indianapolis, Indiana

Native Sun envisions traditional hip hop elements (compelling lyricism, dusty samples, dope beats) paired with the versatility of live instrumentation to create a new sound. B Meeks (bass), Sleepy (drums) and B Young (emcee) intertwine gospel, rock, electronic, jazz and soul within the context of hip hop. This solid foundation in live music (vs produced beats) sets Native Sun apart from others. ... more
