Editor's note

Mod Sun, the punk-hip-hop soloist from Minnesota

A Bloomington native who blends punk and hip-hop, putting out records like 'Internet Killed the Rockstar' and 'God Save the Teen'.

For a quick sense of his sound, try 'Flames' or 'grow thru what u go thru', they frame his mix of punk energy and straightforward lyrics.

Mod Sun matters because he's kept a steady, unpretentious output since his 2015 debut 'Look Up', mixing sounds from bands like Blink-182 into his own lane. A track like 'Flames' with Avril Lavigne shows he can pull in collaborators without losing his solo focus. Songs such as 'grow thru what u go thru' handle personal stuff plainly, and he's still dropping albums like 'God Save the Teen' in 2023.

He started in Bloomington, Minnesota, drawing from punk bands before releasing 'Look Up' in 2015. Since then, he's put out records like 'Internet Killed the Rockstar' in 2021 and 'God Save the Teen' in 2023, working with others like Avril Lavigne on 'Flames' but keeping it a solo project.

Archive material and source history

Derek Smith, who performs as Mod Sun, grew up in Bloomington, Minnesota. He's mentioned drawing early inspiration from bands like Blink-182 and Green Day, which helped shape his mix of punk and hip-hop sounds. His debut album 'Look Up' came out in 2015, and he's put out several others since, including 'Internet Killed the Rockstar' in 2021 and 'God Save the Teen' in 2023.

A track like 'Flames' with Avril Lavigne got some attention, and he's worked with other artists too, though he mostly keeps the focus on his own music. Songs such as 'grow thru what u go thru' and 'Battle Scars' touch on personal themes without much fuss.

He's played with a few musicians live, like drummer Aaron Pauley, but Mod Sun is essentially a solo project. The music doesn't try to fit neatly into one category, and he's kept putting out records without much grand narrative attached.
