And the Industry Is Taking Notice
If you haven’t heard the name Sunset Black yet, that’s about to change. The rising Southern hip-hop and country rap artist is building serious momentum with a raw blend of backroad storytelling, street energy, and unapologetic authenticity. He’s not following trends — he’s creating his own lane.
Coming straight out of South Carolina, Sunset Black represents a new era of Southern artists who refuse to be boxed in. His sound pulls from the soul of country rap and the hunger of Southern hip-hop, creating records that hit just as hard in the city as they do in the country. It’s real-life music — rooted in struggle, ambition, and the relentless drive to win.
His grind is already opening major doors. Sunset Black is set to perform on the main stage at Redneck Rave 2026 at Burning Rock Off-Road Park, one of the most talked-about crossover festivals in the country. He will be performing alongside his label mate Gent Jack, further solidifying their presence as a rising force in the Southern hip-hop and country rap movement. Performing on a stage of that magnitude in front of thousands of fans marks a major milestone and proves his movement is growing fast.
He’s also been making noise on the live scene, including a standout performance alongside Southern rap heavyweight Bubba Sparxxx in Tampa, Florida. Sharing stages with established names is only accelerating his rise and introducing his sound to wider audiences who connect with his raw presence and undeniable energy.
Sunset Black is also preparing to release one of his most ambitious records yet — “Outlaw,” featuring his label mate Gent Jack. The track is a country, rock, and hip-hop crossover unlike anything currently in the scene, blending heavy live energy with hard Southern rap influence. “Outlaw” represents the evolution of Sunset Black’s sound and his willingness to push boundaries, creating something that doesn’t fit into one box — but instead creates its own.
But what truly separates Sunset Black is his work ethic — and his vision. He’s not aiming to simply be one of the best. His goal is bigger than that. Sunset Black has made it clear that he’s coming for the crown — determined to become not just a top artist, but the king of the musicians. That mindset fuels the long studio nights, the nonstop content creation, and the relentless push forward. Every move is intentional. Every step is part of a larger blueprint.
His breakout track “Eddie Rabbitt” has already pulled in tens of thousands of streams, proving listeners are paying attention. With new releases, major performances, and growing industry recognition, Sunset Black is positioning himself as one of the next breakout artists from the South.
Sunset Black isn’t chasing validation. He’s building an empire — one record, one stage, and one city at a time.
And now, the rest of the world is starting to catch on.
