  About   thesunsetkid
Wussup peoples…itz your boy…The Sunset Kid…aka Stoak Burnem…yea…this is my biography. Actually, since I’m the one who’s writing it, I guess it’s really an autobiography, but whatever.

I was born in New York City in 1978 and spent the first three years of my life with my family in an apartment on Ocean Parkway in Brooklyn, before moving with my family to 44th Street & 4th Avenue, right down the block from Sunset Park, also in Brooklyn. My mother was born in Puerto Rico and grew up in projects all over Manhattan and Brooklyn before moving with her parents and siblings into a home in Brooklyn which her father had purchased. My father was born to descendants of Chinese immigrants in British Guyana (today known simply as Guyana) in South America. His family started coming over to the states in the late 1960s, and by the early 1970s had settled in the Flatbush section of Brooklyn. Sometime in the 1970s, my pops opened up a grocery store on Nostrand Avenue in the Crown Heights, Brooklyn, right across from the yard of Medgar Evers College. Not too long after opening the store he also opened up a restaurant called Tripees. The restaurant served traditional West Indian meals. My pops ran both spotz until 1989 when he was sentenced to 10 years in federal prison for “conspiracy”. Alls I know is he was selling mad drugs and making mad money. It ultimately cost him 9 years of his life and, more importantly, his family, but for a few years he was living it up, I guess. My pops was released in 1998 and was subsequently deported back to Guyana. That is some of my early history.

I started writing rhymes on my 14th birthday in 1992. My moms had given me $20 for my b-day, so I went to the local hip hop record shop, “The Music Center”, and I bought the “How I Can Just Kill a Man” single by Cypress Hill and the self-titled debut album by Naughty by Nature, both on vinyl. It was a schoolnight, plus it was raining outside, so when I got back home I decided to stay inside. I was with one of my boys and we decided to write rhymes, which we then spit to the “How I Can Just Kill a Man” instrumental. It was initially just something to pass the time but I immediately fell in love with the art of writing and spitting rhymes after my very first time reciting what I had just written. Since that day I have not stopped writing rhymes and over the years since then I also learned how to make beatz.

And so, fifteen years after that fateful day, I finally released my first full-length CD entitled, “Stomp and Crush”, on my own label, also called Stomp and Crush. There are 14 songs on the CD, all written & produced by yours truly. Digital downloads of the album are currently available on I-Tunes, Napster, CDBaby, Digstation, Snocap, and PayPlay.

And thatz that, for now. Wish me luck, and thanx for stopping by. Come again and holler at the kid!!
