Underground Rap Music by The Sunset Kid

Amazing what passes for hip hop these days.

Wouldn't you agree?

Have you heard the one about Justin Beiber?

Well, from what I gather, Justin was hoping to participate in the most recent freestyle cypher at the BET Hip Hop Awards. The only problem is that he wanted to spit raps that would have been or were written for him by Ludacris.

Unfortunately for Justin, this caused the legendary DJ Premier (who helps choose participants) to ban Justin from joining the cypher.

I know Justin is very talented, but come on, son, you gotta write your own rhymes! At the very least!

Today's Mainstream Hip Hop
Just Not Doing it for You?

There's a good chance you found this site by searching for underground rap music. If you're searching for underground rap music, there's a good chance it's because you're not entirely satisfied with what most hip hop radio stations play regularly. I don't blame you. In fact, I feel much the same way.

Since the mid 1990s I've felt that commercial radio stations which cater to hip hop fans maybe took a far too watered-down approach. I felt that the stations tried to dictate to their listeners - - telling them what's hot and what's not. While I still believe that there is at least some truth to that, I've also learned that the audience really does play an important role.

As I understand it, ratings, listener responses and feedback, and requests all help build playlists and put songs in rotation. So I guess what I'm getting at is that so much of the new stuff that we hear on the radio is just a reflection of the tastes of new generations, so to speak.

If you're like at least a few people, however, you might get tired of hearing the same old lame old songs on the radio. You probably even wonder how a lot of the music you hear on hip hop radio stations even passes for hip hop.

You know the feeling. You're sitting at a light, in the whip, get a quick minute or 2, you turn on the radio and if there's music playing it's probably garbage. What's more, you probably even expected to hear garbage playing on the radio. That's right, you have been conditioned to expect to hear garbage music on your local hip hop radio station. Ain't it sad?

But if you maybe find yourself longing more for the sounds and styles of hip hop acts such as Bootcamp Click, Wu Tang Clan, Mobb Deep, Slick Rick, KRS One, BDP, A Tribe Called Quest, Busta Rhymes, The Notorious B.I.G., ONYX, DITC, EPMD, The Beatnuts, Def Squad, Hit Squad, Flip Mode Squad, Gangstarr, Nas, Cormega, CNN, Big Punisher, Terror Squad, (to name a few), you'd probably like my music. My music is inspired by over 3 decades of east coast hip hop. From the dawn of hip hop.

If what many people would probably call that 'old school' classic 90s east coast hip hop sound holds a special place in your heart and soul, or maybe even if you just want to hear something new and perhaps a bit different, then you just might enjoy listening to my music. That is, if you keep an honest and open mind. Why not give it a listen? Give it a try.

Who am I? I thought you might ask. I am Big Stoak Burns. The Sunset Kid. It's the spawn of the original east coast, boom bap original rap. My story started in a small neighborhood in Brooklyn, New York. Sunset Park. For me personally, this was on 4th Avenue in Brooklyn. Way back in the early 80s. I was maybe 5 or 6, in my living room with a bunch of my older cousins watching the video for "Planet Rock " by Afrika Bambaata and the Soul Sonic Force on Video Music Box. That was the beginning for me. You can read more about me here.
