RePPiN4U: Home Of The Brave!

RePPiN4U: Home Of The Brave!Special Guest Son Brave: @thesonbraveSon Brave, a Baltimore native, is a captivating artist driven by aninsatiable passion to explore the ethics, liberty, and identity ofhumanity through his thought-provoking and soul-stirring music.Formerly known as "The Black Sunn" and "Sun Zulu," Son Brave nowstands as an embodiment of that legacy - and that’s one of richrhymes from the Baltimore, Maryland MC. Fueling his artisticodyssey are the imprints left by his brother, a DJ, and his familywho immersed him in a diverse tapestry of melodies spanning from‘60s soul and '70s funk/disco classics to the golden era of '90sR&B/Hip Hop. These sonic foundations became fertile soil fromwhich Son Brave’s artistic identity would sprout and flourish.His mother always taught him to speak up for himself and what wasright, but it took him a while to understand this fully. What he didknow, however, was the sanctuary of expression found in music.That sanctuary became Son’s refuge. The rap cyphers, messageboard discussions and underground hip-hop blog circuit of the mid-2000s to early 2010s became fertile grounds for his growth andconnection to people who were just like him.Eventually, collaborations with blogs such as 2dopeboyz andillRoots led him to secure touring and live performanceopportunities around the country. He visited places such as NewYork, Pittsburgh, Sacramento, D.C. and Chicago in the early 2010sperforming, shooting videos, recording and releasing music. Whilein Chicago, Son visited the Harold Washington Library and learnedabout YOUmedia. This program provides musical resources, (suchas a recording space and instruments), to young students withgood grades for free.Returning to Baltimore, he began to work with nonprofitorganizations such as the AFSC, By Peaceful Means, and HigherAchievement. His work taught him how to empower city youththrough artistic expression. These experiences galvanized his ownartistic craft and allowed him to provide the same sanctuary thathe found in music to youth just like him. His unwaveringcommitment to this cause also gave birth to a Bachelor's of Sciencedegree in Multiplatform Production from Morgan State University,solidifying his prowess as a multimedia virtuoso.Son Brave is an artist who weaves an intricate tapestry of soundsand stories across mediums encompassing audio, video and more.RePPin4U Playlist:1.
