Thanks for listening! make sure to go check out johnald!! haven't done this in a while but my next two songs: Toji Rap: 29th September Will of D. Cypher: 13th october I'm also performing live in london 13th october so come see me: newcrosslive.com/events/shao-dow

The fact he does his research to TRULY know the characters before rapping about them makes it so much better. It's literally like the character themselves is rapping

Sun Wukong was already my favorite mythological god but this song makes me love him even more. Rustage you are truly a master of your craft.

"we all have roots in the dirt, no matter our origin, we move along and ignore all the hate in their words, they put us in places and give us roles they think we deserve, how many years will it take them to learn, the power within us is something that we gotta work for, it's something that we gotta earn" That's my new go-to quote 🔥🔥🔥🔥👌🏾👌🏾

1:12 If you are wondering devels is a different word than devils. Devels basically refers to a false god.

As a mythology nerd. Its cool to see mythology getting their own songs! Amazing job Rustage!

“Crossed out my name in the Death Note” is a bar that only true sun wukong fans will understand. Amazing song by rustage and johnald had me moving like crazy

THIS GOES SO HARD!! It’s shocking the amount of effort put into a A LITERAL RAP about a character as complex yet amazing as Sun Wukong. The lyrics are straight fire 🔥

I'm honestly happily surprised at how accurate this song is to Sun Wukong. Not only as a mythology and his impact on culture but as a symbol and deity. Great job ❤

Rustage & Johnald can't miss separately so obviously they pop off every time they collaborate! Beat was super chill but hard at the time

The lyrics, the visuals are amazing rustage and johnald always deliver in their collabs

As someone who absolutely loves wukong. In myths, games, manga, anime, shows, and movies. This rap was absolutely SICK! I like to think each time the rapper changes, it's a different clone of wukong spitting bars.

节奏非常好听！孙悟空是我的偶像，我从小就喜欢他。现在中国很多人没读过西游记原著，对孙悟空解读脱离了他本来的模样。从这首歌的歌词中，我能看得出创作者的理解非常符合孙悟空。他是一个斩妖除魔、惩奸除恶的英雄，这不仅仅是他有能力，更重要的是他有一颗仁慈善良的心。

OH MY GOD!! What an outstanding track!! The beat, production, verses, and chorus are all amazing!! That Shwabadi like caught me off guard, I wasn’t expecting that, but I love it! You killed it again man! 🔥🔥🔥

I'm left SPEECHLESS!!! THE FINAL CHORUS WAS AMAZING!!

A song worthy of a 432 year long (written) legend that even now keeps growing.

It makes me so happy seeing Sun Wukong getting the recognition he deserves. The lyrics fit his personality to a T. I’m happy to say this is my new favorite song.

I have no words This is absolutely amazing The lyrics, the music, the visuals 🔥🔥🔥🔥

Daniel always leaves me speechless and johnalds vocals🥺🔥

    "Light Of The Sun" lyrics Rustage Lyrics Follow Rustage on Bandsintown "Light Of The Sun" (Sun Wukong Rap) (feat. Johnald) [Johnald:] So praise up to the light of the Sun [Rustage:] Yuh, yuh, every time I touch the mic This man's getting silly 'cause it's monkey time Wukong, ain't no Diddy, I'm a funky guy Shapeshift, do it tricky, yeah, I customize There's nothing like this Sun won't be brushed aside I run 'em like I won every monster fight Like what a guy, it's done, then it's supper time 'Cause I'm on more levels than construction sites, huh Gonna cause a scene in heaven Keep a stick on my body, that's a lethal weapon And I'm sick of these Gods who wanna teach a lesson They just one immortal, they ain't beating seven And I send a Mighty Spirit to a deep depression Great Sage say I'm equal to the beasts they mention Five hundred years, that's a brief suspension Say they getting to the bread, it's a yeast infection, huh Fruits of my labour 'cause I was born from it Call me a savour, you can't be more honest They acting crackers, but can not talk - Grommet This is a legacy, not a short sonnet Way that I trend, I'm the topic Great from my birth to the day that I rest, I gon' rock it Hate on the best in the office Making my mess - how I pay my respect to the prophets [Johnald:] The winds of a storm, they cloud the sky And the Sun begins to fade A wish from the mortals, I hear their cries So the demons, I'll cast them away I'm a product of the heavens and earth, sent to save you Outcasted to fate from the devils above I'm a weapon who hurts those who hate you So praise up to the light of the Sun [Rustage:] Ay, they ain't gon' move to my tempo I do what I want 'cause I said so Big in the East, but I'm journeying West Don't crossed out my name in the Death Note Brush them aside with the pen strokes Monkey bars going right over your head, bro I stole that line straight from Shwabadi, moving like larceny But he ain't getting my cheque though, man, I'm too well-known I don't need a focus group I don't care what a God is supposed to do When they compared with the Sun, then the joke's on you Because I go right through, Luffy and Goku too And I got poster dudes like there's a photo booth Monkey popping noggins - way I'm blowing blooms 'Cause they ain't in the ring, they don't know Lao Tzu But you ain't do a thing, I don't know about you, hah No permission, I don't beg forgiveness Endless wisdom that you'll bear to witness Gap is distant, overhead like nimbus I be in the sky 'cause I got air my business Man's too strong to end up like blacklisted Farming dudes, but way too hamfisted Monkey King, I leave Gods addicted Wukong - I'm a product of the [Johnald:] I'm a product of the heavens and earth, sent to save you Outcasted to fate from the devils above I'm a weapon who hurts those who hate you So praise up to the light of the Sun [Rustage:] We all have roots in the dirt No matter our origins, we move along and ignore all the hate in their words They put us in places and give us the roles that they think we deserve How many years will it take them to learn?

The fact that wukong is almost a part of my culture and he was also spitting facts about him just makes this song legendary

The lyrics, best and visuals are out of this world! This was simply amazing! LONG LIBE RUSTAGE THE MUSIC KING! 🤴🤴🤴🤴🤴🤴🤴🤴🤴🤴

I’m gonna say this and no one’s gonna stop me, this is my new favorite rap of all time I just love how it’s all positive yet so cool sounding at the same time and it sounds like sun wukong he’s trying to make us feel better and saying that he would be there for us

Sun Wukong getting the recognition it deserves

This is my favorite rap Rustage has released this year. It is so full of energy, and the tempo and beats and melody are wonderful. The vocals on the chorus are great too!

Let's GOOOOOOO!! I love Sun Wukong, and Journey to the West. This rap is an absolutely perfect match for Sun Wukong. 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Bro Johnald is becoming better and better and it’s amazing how he sings, I also love the different references fromRustage and the bars go crazy

I’ve gotta be honest. This one has me legit emotional. Thank you both for such an awesome track

Loving how rustage is starting to add some culture to his style

This is the BEST Chorus I've heard from one of your songs. The beat was bussin and the tune was amazing, and the references you got into your rapping were cleverly inserted.

Sun Wukong is a G.O.A.T. This song makes wukong even more famouse. Good job

How does Rustage do it? Insane lyrics, so many punchlines, so many good drops, the visuals and tempo shifting, mmmmmmmmmmmmmm And Johnald delivering is fire in this!

Rustage my friend, you have impeccable aim cuz you never, and I mean NEVER, miss! This put such a smile on my face and fire in my soul that's been sorely needed. Thanks for sharing your and Johnald's talents and making the world more vibrant ❤️🔥🙏🏾

The animation towards the end was elite. As well as everything else, the chorus lyrics and of course visuals. Love these mythology raps! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Would love a song for Macaque called "Lunar Eclipse" since he's basically a shadow of Wukong. Or a Journey to the west cypher 👀😍

Those high notes of the chorus are absolutely phenomenal, I dream of singing that high and I'm working my hardest to achieve that. Total props to you, I'd 100% love to know how you practiced!!!

I really dont think anyone could beat Rustage. This is Fire.

This is a ABSOLUTELY BANGER from THE RAP KING, HIM SELF RUSTAGE this song matches Sun wonkong perfectly

This.. This is masterpiece. As a Jttw's fan I needed this Kind of song in my life

YESSSS!!! Beautiful visuals, outstanding vocals from Johnald, references on point, and the Sun Wukong energy is spot on! Truly a miracle to get such a banger song from one of my favorite artists about my favorite character!

Your rap is as intense and fiery as ever, and omg Johnald's parts sound so pretty. The two of you work off each other so well, I love it!

Hearing the beat on stream, I knew this was gonna be heat! Rustage & Johnald went crazy!!🔥🔥🔥

We making it out of the Five Elements Mountain with this one!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

I just read the journey to the west (The book that has Sun Wukong), and this rap song made it even more fire!

HUGE FAN RUSTAGE! You're raps are fire! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

I didn't think this beat could go even harder than it did on stream, and you pull out this GOLD?!? Praise be to the LYRICS OF THE SUN RUSTAGE

I’ve never done any research into Journey to the West but I’ve always loved characters like Sun Wukong to use in DnD, so thanks for some more inspiration

I normally is rather calm to rap BUT THIS THIS MADE ME LOVE IT. I loved Wukong since childhood he is one of my favouritte characters and this rap especially the ryhm and how melodic part balanced with rap and how Wukong sass and breaking of forth wall (since he is a trickster) were included Can you make an rap for Magical Index? Accelerator specifially? One way road... Byt he way it fun but he reminds me a bit of him... And of someone once sealed, who also trued to become a God like Wukong and Accel... Wukong is called Awakened to Void, well, have you heard of another "Lord of Nothing"? Who was equal to heavens army too... 13 years old :"If you are really good not moons then help me" yeah. Gods? PROVE. When they showed up: "Do you reallu belive in us" "Well, you came to me." 😅😂 Met greastest black magician observed in the face that he is dying. Then mocked him. Got a lich in his body like Harry got Voldy, but like... Full.. And of much higher rank... doesn't really notice hismental attempds to break him. Traveled in time COMPLAINS he has hints and just need to follow them. "Raistlin Majere is walking horror combined with awesome, but there's one moment which just underscores the awesome: when he's succeeded in getting to the Abyss. The Dark Queen is berating him, promising him any number of eternal torments for his various slights against her: is my very favourite quote GO RAISTLIN!! The exchange between Raistlin and Takhisis when she first promises him eternal torture... "My Queen..." What, not yet on your knees? "My Queen...it is your move." " Idk it seems very "Wukong" thihgs to do for me. The mage meant to be sword of God of Light... Yet...Lol Raistlin (Dragonlance/ musical Last Trial) proably insired marvel Loki and Accelerator. And Acceleraror inspired Wanderer from Genshin Impact. And also Raistlin and Caramon Majere probably insipred Vergil and Dante 😅😂. Again Genshin Impact: Aether: "My twin tries to kill me/desrpry the world" Dante and Caramon: First time? Also great character from Dragonlnce is Tasslehoff Burfoot, kender and ICON of ADHD. Tasslehoff gets a moment in Dragons of Winter Night when he, in an attempt to convince the humans and elves that it will be worthless to fight against each other, throws the Dragon Orb against Whitestone, shattering it. And he does this knowing full well this will almost certainly lead to his death. This moment is then followed by Fizban calling out all the leaders there and telling them they can't use the orb, as well as Theros Ironfeld throwing a Dragonlance at Whitestone right after, shattering it. Years later Tasslehoff Burrfoot manages to make Chaos (the father of all the Gods) bleed with an Heroic Sacrifice. When you consider that Tas is basically the Plucky Comic Relief of the team, and an annoying kleptomaniac who doesn't seem to be able to stay quiet or still and who can drive even elves mad with his innate ability to make up insults, you can't say that he wasn't short of courageous. Bonus points for using his insulting ability to attract Chaos' attention. Well he dies... But that couldn't stop nor him nor Raistlin😂 From Dragons of a Vanished Moon: "Stop talking nonsense," said Gerard in a decided tone. "Raistlin Majere is dead!" "So am I," said Tasslehoff Burrfoot. He smiled up at Gerard. "You can't let a little thing like that stop you."

Rustage, You've done it again. That last part of the vocals from Johanld hit my soul 🔥 🔥

Oh this MOVES MY SOUL OKAYYYY, MORE OF THIS PLEASEEE Also Johnald has such a nice voice, gonna 100% check him out

The chorus is my favourite part, idk why but I love the sound of his vocals for the chorus!!!

May this song live as long as Wukong does. Beyond eternity

The visuals, the music, the lyrics, the refrences to shawabdi I loved them all. Man you are a legend. Keep bringing these bangers I'm all yours!!❤

This was absolutely amazing and the chorus is the best part in my opinion Jonald did another amazing job

Oh my gosh this song amazing! But now can't help but have a mighty 10000000000% need for a rap cypher about the various gods in JTTW like ya did with the avatar series. Because the potential of tht would be absolutely undeniablly sick as hell

Ok i didn't know what to expect from this one but Rustage and Johnald still manage to exceed my expectations!!! This might be one of your best tracks!! The developes of Black myth Wukomg should add this as one of themes! Its amazing!!!🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Everything about this song is simply amazing. Beatiful vocals, brilliant wordplay, a wonderful beat to tie it all together with simple and elegant visuals.

The capturing lyrics and the chills I get everytime the chorus comes on. Beautiful as always Rustage, keep making music!

This is my new favorite RAP haven't gotten chills from a song in a while but this one delivered!

How the hell do you do this you have never disappointed us with any of your songs and this one has to be one of your best 10/10 it's so amazing and I hope you continue to do great stuff

Heard it early on spotify. This is my new favorite track, it's incredible

Nailed the casual confidence/arrogance Wukong is known for.

I don't know what I did to have this masterpiece pop up on my feed, but thank you KZfaq algorithm!

Really like that rustage has been making mythology songs. Johnald did great and so did Andrea on the backup vocals

BANGERRRR The Rustage channel has some of the best hooks to come out of nerdcore this year holy shit and that transition from verse to hook was so satisfying LOVE THISSSS from production to verses to hook to video great work rustage johnald Aoshift & Echomotion

Bro they went above and beyond of what they do bro left me speechless with that chorus that aint his regular raps like bro keep it up bro touched my soul with this We all know its obvious nobody had a favorite god or didnt rake much notice in them till rustage put this glory in our faces

This is the first of your songs I discovered randomly on Spotify and I am so glad I did. I've now added a bunch of them including this one to my library. Your bars are nuts man, love your style.

Love the vibe of this one, WELL DONE AS ALWAYS!!

This was fantastic! I love the way you switched from cocky and confident to serious and determined when talking about roles in life and achieving greatness. Excellent work.

No words can describe how much I love this! You've been killing lately with these bangers, man! Love the verses and chorus from Johnald, both of you did an outstanding work!❤🔥🔥🔥

This is so delightfully well-researched! :D I can tell that you really _get_ Sun Wukong, which makes this song a hundred times more fun to listen to!

I've had probably the most stressful week ever. And when i got home i listened to this masterpiece and now i feel like I can take another year stress!

Your raps are so great. I really was looking forward to this and you didn't disappoint 🔥

Truly a fun and divine song✨🔥🎵🔥✨. Perfect for Sun Wukong✨✨✨

this song speaks up exact Sun Wukong's arrogant talking style. I LOVE IT.

You and johnald deserve a round of applause 👏👏👏👏

Love your music and love multiple different mythologies so this is a very cool song! Sun Wukong is such a cool character with a lot to him so it is very cool to see you pick him up and manage to reference all these different powers of his + his personality. And last but definitely not least, the instrumentals, your rap and the chorus were amazing!

i love that flute vibe + your amazing rapping and Johnalds singing made this song so fire 🔥

Once upon a time, maybe when journeying to the West, Rustage and Johnald decided to make a collab. And the heaven's pillars were shaken...

The beat and wordplay is so fire and artistic

This is incredible! Rustage and Johnald always knock it out of the park! 🔥🔥🔥

I just discovered these two legends, and I can't tell how happy i am❤

Another banger that deserves to be on the radio!!! LOVE THIS

Awesome as always From the intro, to the beat, to the video edit, to the bars and lyrics, to the chorus, to the outro; everything was PERFECTION as always Rustage, you never cease to amaze me👏🏽🙌🏾

Rustage finally giving the most powerful character in fiction some love! Keep the god tier raps coming!

First mythos, now this?! Bro these mythology raps have been amazing, really hoping for an Anubis rap

Hearing the complete version after watching the stream is amazing. This turned out perfectly!!

As always Rustage and Johnald are way too powerful together. Also we need more Andrea & Johnald because OH MY GOODNESS!!!

Is the myth thing becoming a pattern? Because i adore it! As always, johnald just gets more and more goated with every chorus he does. But rustage, honestly man this has been playing on repeat for me since it came out on spotify. Holy freaking shit. That wallace and grommett bar was just sneaky, too!

This is great as always Rustage. I love all your songs!

This hits hard. That chorus is fire. The pacing, voice, soundtrack. Bravo

Once again, great job on the rap. It's really good to see people start to recognize mythology for what it is when it comes to songs of any kind and yours is far and above one of the most accurate portrayals of Sun Wukong I have had a pleasure of listening to in any media. Music was great, flowed really well and the lyrics brought everybody's favorite mokey king to life. What's more important to me was how accurate everything you talked about was and, as i said before, i was absolutely not dissapointed. Same as in the "Mythos" video, there are mistakes but you make up for it with production value You did a great job with references to his achievments and personality. Loved the diddy reference btw. When you talk about his exploits i love the mention of the Heavenly rampage he did before he got a mountain dropped on him. Also the reference to Jingu Bang (the magical size changing pillar that Sun uses as a weapon) and how he always has it on him (cause he shrinks it down for easy carry) was well placed. Nice play on the title of the "Great Sage Equall to Heaven", well done as well as mentioning the 500 year time skip while he was under a mountain. Drawing a reference to his birth, his strenght and the fact that Journey to the West left such an impacting legacy was really well done. The entire flow ending with the death note part is why i praise you for your accuracy, even if i do have some gripes. He is impolsive and does what he wants when he wants it and you ended it with him ereasing his name from the book of the dead which was his 2nd way of cheating death. So, totally on point. And yeah Sun is super op, only wanted to lazy around and neither Luffy nor Goku can stand up to him. Mentioning Laozi and the furnace as well as the fact he rides a nimbus, amazing stuff. The praise might seem wierd but i was typing as i was listening to the song. You did an outstanding job for the majority of it. I did find couple of things that were not exactly accurate. Now it could be just me not understanding what you were trying to say but fro. My understanding they were inaccurate all the same with one smalle nitpick that, arguably, there was no way you could have known. -> So the funny part, actually, Sun was an 8-fold immortal monkey. At the end of his journey, among the 7 immortalities he got, he ate food directly meant for Buddah meaning he gained another layer of immortality from it. -> Important thing to note here is that, i get the play on words i really do, but he wasn't born from a fruit and you did mention this later down the line. He was born from a magic rock that was sitting atop of Mountain of Flower and Fruit. I get what you were going for, but you could have worded it a bit better. -> "Call me a savior you can't be more honest" is a line that.....i don't know if i am missunderstanding or not but Sun was anything except a savior. Sure he helped Sanzang and was a king to his monkey band of missfits, but he did a lot of stuff that was really plain evil. And i am not even talking about pre-500 year imprisonment. Before the 500 year skip he ate people, went to war over bureaucracy, insulet buddah, etc. This is well known sp i am not going to go into too many details. When he became Sanzang's protector and disciple, he would kill anything that posed even a remote threat to anybody in the group, and he would do it with glee. Sun destroys a priceless heavenly tree laden with immortality-bestowing fruits simply because the guardians won’t share. He flaid people for fun in front of Sanzang to prove a point. Some killings were justified but he was not a savior. Also the chorus is kind of semi-inaccurate. He didn't protect people per say. Again before the 500 year skip, he ate them alive. It's easy to forget but sun is actually a divine demon, not a divine monkey. Like he is absolutely not a hero. The protagonist of Journey to the West, sure. But a hero? Absolutely not. Overall i stand by my assessment. You did a wonderful job bringing the monkey king to life and you deserve all the praise for that. I still think "Mythos" was more accurate and as such i can't rate this higher than a 9, but still you did an amazing job and i really can't wait to hear your next mythology based rap.

I still can't believe you made this in a short amount of time! I always love seeing these come together on stream. This is one of my favorites this year so far!

i need a rap of nezha 🛌

Oh woooow, what a song. I'm honestly just stunned. Your voices are flowing together so well. 👀 Never heard about Johnald till now, but I'm really impressed, such a perfect pick. Awesome job both of you!

You flowed so nicely on this!! And Johnald's vocals are always a joy to hear. Monkey bars for the win!!

Damn, I have come back to this song like 20 times in the last month, not including Spotify, really enjoy it. This is within my top 5 Rustage songs for sure.

This one is SOOOOOO good omg!! You both did an amazing job 👏👏🔥👏🔥👏👏

Another Rustage W. Johnald SLAYED the chorus too, already on my playlist 🔥🔥🔥
