Regason ”, his first full project on Rising Sun Music . Says Mr . Reggae Son , “ I grew up rapping to all kinds of beats . So , my music is diverse , which is something they love at Rising Sun Music anyway . You will hear a lot of different beats and rhythms , a lot of feels and styles in my music I think the world is ready for my sound .”
