The month of July is about to have another Sun-Day added to its calendar as emcee, actor and respected philanthropist, Sun, becomes only the fifth local rap artist to receive his own day by mayoral proclamation, joining Trae Tha Truth, who was first, Bun B , Slim Thug and most recently, Lil Keke as the other holders of that honor. Henceforth, July 28th will be know as Sun-Day in Houston and it couldn’t go to a more deserving guy.
A native of Alief, in Southwest Houston, Sun has been using his platform as an artist to give back to his ‘District F’ community via his own Soleil Foundation, through numerous back-to-school drives, health and wellness fairs, sports and fitness camps, shoe drives and holiday food and toy drives to benefit the underserved youth and families of that district.
A close associate of 50 Cent and the G-Unit family, Sun, a relative new-comer to rap music, has already had the benefit of working with a who’s who list of multi-platinum producers such as Havoc of Mobb Deep, Richie Bransonand Apex to name a few. He has also toured internationally with some of music’s biggest names such as Eminem, 50 Cent, G-Unit, Mobb Deep and Trey Songz. His associations with the aforementioned, as well as of those of a host of household names in sports, enables Sun to find new and even bigger ways of bringing much needed help to his community. ~ @Sun_Days
Sun’s proclamation ceremony will be held at Houston’s Downtown City Hall on Tuesday, July 28th at 1:30PM.
