Reviews
"You can't say it's only about the commercialism, the cribs and the money. You can't say rappers are teenage thugs lacking any real talent. You can't - because rappers such as Stockton's Savage Sun will be there to prove you wrong." (Ian Hill/Columnist/Stockton Record & 209VIBE)

"Melding classical music with pulsating beats & emcee Savage Sun's hard-hitting flow, the Missouri resident's sound is unique & emotional. Helped along by a melancholy piano & dizzying violin work, Savage Sun is bringing the focus back to the music. With 14 years in the game, 35 recorded songs, & 11 album features, Sun sees this as his perfect time to emerge out onto the scene with a solo album (The Art of Being Alive). Check out Forced. (Aylin Zafar/URB Magazine)
