Sun King Rising’s highly anticipated second album “Signs & Wonders” gets a release date of October 1st, 2022 on PeacockSunrise Records. Sun King Rising is the professional moniker of singer/songwriter/piano player John Blangero who resides in Port Isabel, Texas. Combining different genres and musical influences, he refers to his music as the new wave of southern rock and soul music.
With Spotify streams of his 2020 debut album, “Delta Tales” approaching 800K, and youtube views of his award-winning “Free Will in China Blue” video approaching 40K, Blangero looks to continue the momentum with his new album.
John Blangero’s southern family culture and values form the backbone for his music. Taking inspiration from the icons of his generation, his music combines the literary genius of William Faulkner, the bluesy compositional brilliance of George Gershwin, the blue-eyed soul of Elton John, and the funky rhythms and horns of 60s-70s Muscle Shoals.”Signs & Wonders” is a collection of Blangero’s southern noir stories set to music, with a cast of colorful characters, intrigue, tales of sin and redemption, murder without justice, and love without limits.
Blangero is also a world-renowned genetic scientist who has spent much time over the past several years, working on the COVID pandemic.

T1M1 featuring Keybeaux confront artificial creativity with latest release “Hip Slop”
T1M1 and Keybeaux come together on “Hip Slop,” a hip-hop tune powered by fast, heavy, energetic rap flows. The song is delivered with a kind of intensity that gives urgency to its message, a lively backdrop for its subject matter. The artists take on the track in a confrontational spirit, using its momentum to address what they see as an increasingly artificial reality.
The song centers on AI-generated content and the sense that what people are shown may not always be real. Its perspective challenges artificial creativity, framing the issue as something that deserves direct attention rather than passive acceptance. The boxing imagery on the track adds to that combative feel, with the artists being ready to meet the challenge head-on. The title itself makes the phrase “AI slop” a pointed description of the kind of artificial output they oppose.
“Hip Slop” is an energetic hip-hop release, with clear, timely subject matter. T1M1 and Keybeaux bring fire to the track, keeping the message front and center. The single has a fast-paced delivery with an edge of confrontation, and it feels like a musical challenge to artificial content and a call to engage with the issue directly.
