SunNY, BET 106 & Park Freestyle Winner, Becomes Overnight Celebrity

Thanks to rap mogul Jermaine Dupri, SunNY becomes overnight celebrity.

(PRWEB) July 28, 2005 -- Dear Hip Hop Diary,

SunN.Y BIO OVERNIGHT CELEBRITY -- New Insert: Hip Hop has finally given birth to Its savior on the same corner that Hip Hop started from, Hip Hop gave birth to the son of New York: SunN.Y.

SunN.Y., 23, is not only the new cornerstone of Hip Hop, but he is also the corner stone for Virgin Records. Jermaine Dupri, President of the Virgin Urban Division, explains, "SunN.Y. is one of the reasons that Virgin will win and be taken seriously as a rap label". Why does Jermaine Dupri and everyone in the Hip Hop industry feel so confidently about this particular artist? Perhaps it is because SunN.Y. provides the beacon of light to a genre that was becoming very gloomy and dark, with no real purpose besides creating lyrics for profit. SunN.Y. is one of the last rappers who is a rapper because that's all he knows, thats all he lives-Hip Hop.

As commercial Hip Hop has clogged the pipes of real artistic story telling, consumers were growing more and more disenchanted whispers were circulating 'what happened to real Hip Hop?' it is no wonder that SunN.Y is regarded as a breath of fresh air. SunN.Y. has the lyrical skills to paint vivid pictures as if you are reading his own personal diary. There are no gimmicks, there are no campaigns, there is just truth. He just shares his truth. And wasnt that Hip Hop in the first place? Dougie Fresh, Eric B. & Rakim, Kurtis Blow, Whodini, Run D.M.C., Grand Master Flash, and Slick Rick, SunN.Y. has all of these elements but provides his modern touch, swift punch lines that knocks his contenders completely out in any lyrical battle, and with Jermaine Dupri's direction it is no wonder that SunN.Y. is one of the most anticipated New York rappers to come out in a long time.

Hip Hop having its roots based in free styling otherwise known as "battling" on the corner, calling other artists out has found a modern home now: BET 106 & Park "Free Style Fridays." and SunN.Y stepped on the modern corner, as he stepped on stage. Not only did he win BET 106 & Park Free Style competition for himself, he won it for Hip Hop, seven times in a row. SunN.Y. is already popular with 64 million viewers of 106 & Park, and Atlantas four million Hot 107.9 listeners because he has a compelling ability to capture every audience with his lyrical strength and talent. Any artist that masters Free Styling as he has, undeniably has an uncanny ability to think strategically executing lyrical bombs within seconds notice. This not only reveals that he is a battle rapper, he can actually make hot songs. SunN.Y. reveals, "I dont back down to nobody lyrically. Plus I got a beautiful track record of not losing." And he certainly doesnt lose in his debut album, OVERNIGHT CELEBRITY. His popularity and celebrity status doesnt compromise his connection to the raw essence of the streets. Rochester, having the worse per capita crime rate than New York City, has forced SunN.Y. into the darkest reality allowing him to create the most vivid lyrics describing the Soul of a Hustla. Rather one is a Hustla or not, everyone can relate to his story. He connects you to his place in Rochester, rather you are in a suburban, rural, or city area, you know the Life of a Hustla.

SunN.Y. doesnt try to sell you a story. He is that story. Just as Hip Hop originally was, SunN.Y currently is. He connects you to Hip Hop, no matter where you are, its the same corner. Its that connection that Hip Hop started from. Who would've thought that mainstream media would've embraced the very raw essence of freestyling on the same corner of KRS1, same corner of NAS, TUPAC, BIGGIE, JAY Z, RUN DMC, the same corner as EMINEM and allow it to be televised on BET 106 and Park? Who would've imagined that freestyling on a corner would make you an OVERNIGHT CELEBRITY. My how Hip Hop has changed, but SunN.Y. still remains the same.
