Some tracks off our 2013 release "Rising Sun Gang" available on iTunes

Mirror, Mirror (explicit)

Just To Get By (explicit)

False Prophet (explicit)

#RNS (explicit)

Rising Sun All Stars' "I Can't Breathe" was written in the wake of recurring national tragedies.  Recorded just a few feet from the scene of our personal friend Eric Garner's untimely death, the songs lyrics reflect both anger and sorrow, while the music carries the backbeat of our Staten Island roots.  

All proceeds will be donated to the Garner family.
