"Lets drive with no destination. We'll dance like kids in the summer rain. We'll leave our problems behind. We'll live life in the slow lane. We're always getting older. But our dreams will never fall apart. No matter the changes. We will all stay young at heart"

Band of The Week - Mod Sun
What is the first thing that comes into your head when you hear weed? Go! I am not a judgmental person, but I am human and I stereotype. I think of stoners and pot heads. I think of guys laying around, listening to Bob Marley, smoking and acting as if they are on an acid trip. I think of rappers who try to act cool by mentioning pot in every line of their song. This is the complete opposite of Mod Sun. Though he is extremely pro-marijuana, he actually stands for something. Unlike other rappers that just talking about weed and sex, Mod Sun actually believes in something. His name stands for Movement on Dreams, Stand Under None. This name speaks for itself. He is one of the most inspirational people I have ever had the pleasure of listening to and meeting. His lyrics inspire and enlighten the listeners. He's not rap, not pop, not hip hop, but "hippy-hop". His great rapping skills, mixed with inspirational lyrics and very catchy beats makes Mod Sun a definite to listen to. He has a few free mix tapes out and just released his new EP called In Mod We Trust. If you are just having a bad day or just need a little hope, just turn on some Mod Sun and let his words take you away.
