Tonight on Funkadelic Freestyles..

Tonight on Funkadelic Freestyles we revive our short-lived (Fall 09) “Introducing…” series with a relatively-new hip-hop artist out of Baltimore, MD. The Black Sunn is a 20 year old emcee from East Baltimore “with an uncanny capability of illustrating colorful storylines coalesced with a vivid golden sound.” If it hadn’t been for the insistent (no, NOT annoying) emails from his manager, Jon Feldman, I’d have let another promising young artist fly under my radar.

Luckily, I ran into Jon a few weeks ago at the Stussy DC Dilla Day event and promised him we’d bring The Black Sunn in-studio the first Tuesday in March, and now – here we are. Tune in tonight for “Introducing… The Black Sunn” along with insightful discussion from Jay Promo, Unkle Scooty, King Carter, and myself on Guru, Lil Wayne, and the Oscars. Plus new music in the mix with DJ Jerome Baker III from J. Ferb, Donwill of Tanya Morgan, Danny Brown, Freeway, and many more. Plus a EXCLUSIVE sneak preview of the upcoming Mochilla DVD/CD release, Timeless: Suite For Ma Dukes!
