Description
"Savage Sun" is a one man musical act hailing from Northern California, & currently resides in St. Louis, Missouri.
"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 The Savage Sun will be there to prove you wrong." (Ian Hill/Columnist/Stockton Record & 209VIBE)
