The One Sun Lion Ra
Musician and Spoken Word Artist

Picture
"When I say Hip Hop, y'all say I love, Hip Hop!"... The One Sun Lion Ra born and raised in New York City and spending a significant amount of his life in Los Angeles and North Carolina has no artistic limits especially when it comes to his music. Combine that with the fact that he is the son of Lou Wilson eldest of the four Wilson brothers from the group Mandrill and you can expect nothing less than insane heat and intense passion when it comes to Ra's brand of Hip Hop and Spoken Word. Ra has performed all over the east and west coasts as well as overseas exhibiting his skills in the art of emceeing, beat-boxing, and performing spoken word poetry. "Real Hip Hop for Real Hip Hop heads", remains his credo, but perhaps a more fitting phrase for the flavor The One Sun Lion Ra brings would be, "Real Messages for Real People". You can hear and own music from Ra as well as connect with him via moja_sol@yahoo.com or on Reverbnation.com by going to the site and typing in The One Sun Lion Ra.
