about

Scientific Universal Noncommercial (Santonio Hughbanks) is no stranger to the wide world of hip-hop. Rhyming from the early age of 16, S.U.N.'s earliest incarnation as half of the group UBU gave hip-hop heads everywhere their first taste of the spiritual nature and consciousness in content that would come to define S.U.N.'s contribution and artistic integrity as an MC. UBU partnered S.U.N. and Brother Browne in a musical alliance that allowed them to pose lyrical musings on subjects of cultural and ethereal significance while establishing credibility as serious lyricists. Backing these abstract inspirations with unquestionably tight beats gave the duo two successful independent releases, "Deep Space" and "Radical Spiritual Progression." Even though UBU was enjoying local success and rave critical reviews, S.U.N.'s desire to put forth a solo album became a defining force in his career. 1997 finally offered him the chance to do exactly that as he crafted his debut release, "Shining Underground." With featured flows from Bizarre, Invincible, Brother Browne, Paradime, and Mister Sinns, Scientific Universal Noncommercial laid down eight full tracks with production by newcomer Tink Thomas. The guest spots not only beefed up his tracks with the verbal sparring, but also established the fact that he was unafraid of the neighboring schools of hip-hop. Especially in the case of Bizarre, whose controversial rhymes engage and provoke, S.U.N. lets his talent speak for itself. The contrast of their rhyming styles does manage to make a perfect playground for each to do their thing without detracting from one another's credibility. S.U.N. produced the single "T.H.U.G. (True Heart UnderGround)" and few other tracks that brought the Ypsilanti native some well-deserved respect.
