Risingsun

Published October 20, 2026

Risingsun is an artist who exists, in the public archives consulted, through a single verse only: verse 2 of “selfish”, the Lyrical-k record, whose YouTube page, opened in full for this profile, credits him by name in that post and prints his lyrics in full. The page is, for a feature file, unusually rich: it publishes the full structure of the track, the making credit roll, the complete lyrics and a tag block that files the title under bouyon, bouyonriddim, bouyon2026, bouyonmusic. It publishes nothing, on the other hand, about the artist himself: no biography, no settled origin, no link of his own, no second title. Its tags even name two different geographies, the Dominican Republic on one side, the music of Dominica on the other, and this profile draws no origin from that contradictory block. What it publishes is the verse, its credit roll, its lyrics as the page prints them, and the limit of the file.

Who Risingsun is: a lower case name, a numbered verse

Let us start with the exact inventory, because the whole file fits inside it. Risingsun is credited on a single verified record, a record by another artist. “selfish”, in lower case in the heading of its page, is a record by Lyrical-k, and its full heading, as the platform publishes it, is “Lyrical-k selfish Ft. risingsun”. In that heading, Risingsun appears after the letters Ft., the English form of featuring, which names the guest artist. The description of the same page specifies his post with an exactness that feature pages rarely give: “Verse 2: risingsun”, verse 2, sung by Risingsun. That is not a decorative presence in a heading: it is a numbered post in the published structure of the track.

The name appears in a single spelling across the whole source, and the detail matters for future searches. The page writes risingsun, entirely in lower case and as one word, in the heading as in the verse credit and at the head of the lyrics. This site keeps Risingsun, with an initial capital, as the display form of the page, and flags the spelling of the source for what it is: the signature of the artist as the page of his only record transmits it. No other spelling, no full name and no other stage name attached to this voice was published in the opened sources.

No source consulted documents a record where Risingsun is the lead artist, nor a second verified feature under this name, nor an artist page under his name. No biography, no interview and no official account confirmed by direct opening was found during this research, carried out on October 20, 2026. Searching on this name returns a multitude of namesakes, the rising sun being one of the most shared images among stage names, and no verifiable element ties any of those namesakes to the verse of “selfish”. This profile therefore merges none of those names with his: Risingsun, here, is exactly and only the voice of verse 2 of this record.

The most personal fact in the file lies in the nature of that single credit. On the page of “selfish”, every sung post is attributed by name, the intro, the chorus, the first verse, verse 2 and the outro, and the name of Risingsun holds one of only two verses in the track. In the economy of a two voice record, verse 2 is the post of the answer: it arrives after the lead artist has laid down his story, it must hold the same story from another angle, and it is the last new voice the listener hears before the final chorus returns. That the page attributes that post to Risingsun, and prints his lyrics on the same footing as those of the lead artist, makes this feature a complete document on his work, if not a document on his life.

selfish: a full credit roll, line by line

The record that carries Risingsun is documented by its YouTube page, opened in full for this profile, and that page first gives the structure of the track, post by post. The intro is sung by Lyrical-k. The chorus is sung by Lyrical-k. The first verse belongs to Lyrical-k. Verse 2 belongs to Risingsun. The outro, which takes up the words of the intro, belongs to Lyrical-k. Around that structure, the page publishes a full making credit roll: recorded at Lyrical-k studio Inc., the studio that carries the name of the lead artist, mix and mastering by Mussbussproductions, cover art by Kimmie Designz, and back up vocals by Jessica Deme. The page finally flags the availability of the record on Spotify, through an album link printed in the description.

That credit roll places the record in a precise economy, that of the home studio. The lead artist records at his own place, under a banner in his name, has the track mixed and mastered by an outside production name, entrusts the cover to a named designer and the back up vocals to a named singer. Every contributor is credited, and Risingsun appears in that list at the same level of precision as the technicians: one post, one name. It is the most documented publishing mode of the current independent scene, and it contrasts, inside the very file of Lyrical-k, with the page of his other verified record, “Naughty”, whose description is empty and which names nobody. The voice of Risingsun therefore has the documentary luck of appearing on the complete page of its lead artist, and this profile uses that page to the end, without adding anything to it.

The title itself, “selfish”, is the word of the chorus, and the page stages it as a two voice trial. The chorus of Lyrical-k, printed in the description, tells of a heart broken and thrown in the rubbish, then the reversal: the one who broke it now calls him selfish, and the chorus answers with the proverb of the lemons you make lemonade with. The first verse develops the complaint, the crying eyes, the lies discovered, the regrets. It is inside that architecture that verse 2 by Risingsun takes its place, as the voice that answers the accusation instead of repeating it, and the following section reads it in the very lyrics the page publishes.

A word on the language of the track, because it can be read in full in the source. The published lyrics are in English, crossed by the Creole and patois of Caribbean dancefloors, di girls dem, di ting, and by turns of phrase from the English speaking street of the islands. The verse of Risingsun is the densest passage of that mix, as we shall see. This profile describes that language as a fact of text, drawn from the printed lyrics, and not as an indication of origin: the Caribbean English of the lyrics is a stage language shared by the whole region, from Roseau to Kingston, and it locates nobody on its own.

Verse 2, read in the published lyrics

The lyrics of the Risingsun verse are printed in full in the description of the page, under the heading “Verse 2”, and this profile reads them as the main document of the voice it presents. The verse opens with a dismissal without cold anger: you can go with your love, says the voice, while I keep making all my money. The answer to the selfish accusation is there, from the first two lines: the track is called “selfish”, and the verse turns the word back against the accusation, opposing to the tale of the broken heart a tale of independence. The money keeps coming, life keeps going, and it is the other one, the verse suggests, who is acting selfish.

What follows unfolds the imagery of that independence, in the vocabulary of current dancefloors. The luxury brands are named, Gucci and Louis, worn like an armour of success. The girls take selfies around the voice, an image of phones and fete that places the verse in the present of the networks. One line in patois slips in that the other one only ran after the money of the voice, and another, the most quotable by the logic of the track, lays down the diagnosis: even if the body pleases, that does not mean the person is good for me, “healthy for me” in the text. The verse closes on a condition laid down for any return, if you want to do it tonight, you will have to do it right, then on a stage cry that stretches out at the end of the line, the sound signature of fete verses.

The function of this verse in the track deserves to be stated, because it explains the choice of a feature. The chorus and the first verse carry the complaint of the lead artist, a breakup tale in the first person. Verse 2 changes posture: it no longer cries, it displays. It brings the record its counterpoint of confidence, and its material, money, brands, fete, girls, is that of dancefloor anthems more than that of breakup ballads. A feature serves exactly that in the current grammar of bouyon and of season soca: importing a second energy, signed with another name, without breaking the story of the title. This profile presents that reading as what it is, a reading of the published lyrics and of the credited structure, and not a studio account that no source provides.

What the verse does not give must be stated with the same clarity. It gives neither a place, nor an island, nor a town name, nor a reference to where its performer lives. Its images are those, shared, of the English speaking Caribbean fete and of network culture, and none of them locates the voice that sings them. The origin of Risingsun will therefore not be read in his verse, any more than in the tags of the page, as the following section shows. What the verse establishes is of a musical order: a voice able to hold the answer post of a two voice record, in the mixed language of the scene, with a posture of its own that the chorus of the lead artist does not have.

The bouyon tags of the page, and the trap of the two geographies

The filing of the record under bouyon rests on the page itself, and it must be read in its tag block, which the description publishes in full. The first tag line lines up #bouyonriddim, #bouyon2026, #soca, #bouyon, #bouyonmusic and #bouyonlouwanj: the riddim genre, the 2026 vintage, the neighbouring genre soca, the name of the genre itself, its English form bouyon music, and a praise form attached to bouyon. A second block, lower in the description, runs #Bouyon and #BouyonMusic again, and adds #DominicaMusic, #IslandVibes, #CaribbeanVibes and #Carnival2026. For this site, whose subject is bouyon, the page therefore files its record, and the verse of Risingsun with it, under the genre and its 2026 season, with no deduction on our part.

The same tag line nevertheless holds a geography that no serious profile can convert into an origin. It names #dominicanrepublic and #dominicana, which designate the Dominican Republic, the Spanish speaking state on the island of Hispaniola, and not Dominica, the English speaking island where bouyon was born, which the second block names on its side through #DominicaMusic. The two names resemble each other enough to mislead search engines and hurried readers, and the pages of the scene often mix them in their search blocks. The rule of this site is therefore applied here in its strictest form: no origin is drawn from that block, neither Dominican Republic, nor Dominica, nor any other. The file of Risingsun rests on the performed verse and on the genre tags, and on nothing else.

The context of the genre recalls why those tags matter and why they are never enough on their own. Bouyon was born in Dominica at the end of the 1980s, and bouyon soca was started in Dominica in 2003 by Dada, according to the first hand testimony of Sean “Smokiller” Francis, a Dominican-born producer and a participant in that era. Since then, the word bouyon has become a season tag that pages lay down in order to be found by DJs and listeners, between bouyonriddim and bouyon2026, exactly as on the page of “selfish”. A genre tag laid down by the page of the artist stands as a published filing, and this profile takes it as such. A place tag laid down in the same block, contradicted by another in the following block, does not stand as an origin, and this profile leaves it aside, saying so.

To place the record in the wave it claims, our bouyon riddim page tells the shared instrumental format that the first tag of the page invokes, and our bouyon playlist follows the records filed as bouyon 2026 through the season. “selfish” holds its place there through its published filing, and verse 2 by Risingsun holds its own as the guest voice of that filing.

Lyrical-k, the lead artist of the two opposite pages, and the limits of the file

To place Risingsun, the artist who invites him must be placed, and his case is singular in the files of this site. Lyrical-k is otherwise documented by a single other verified record, “Naughty”, filed as bouyon 2027 in its heading, whose page, opened for his profile, contains nothing: an empty description, no credits, no origin. The same artist name therefore publishes, from one record to the next, the two extremes of documentation in the scene: the empty page and the complete page. “selfish” is his complete page, and it is the one that carries the file of Risingsun. Without that published credit roll, Risingsun would be a heading name like so many others; with it, he is a post, a studio, a mix and a whole text, attributed by name.

The comparison also sheds light on what a feature owes to the page that carries it. On “selfish”, Lyrical-k holds the intro, the chorus, the first verse and the outro: he is the voice of the story, from start to finish. Risingsun holds the only post that escapes that voice, verse 2, and the published lyrics show that this post is that of the counterpoint, the assured answer to the complaint of the chorus. The page says nothing of any other collaboration between the two artists, nor whether Risingsun belongs to the circle of Lyrical-k studio Inc., nor whether the exchange was a studio meeting or a sent file, like so many features of the current era. This profile therefore notes the junction, credited and textual, and refuses the personal geography on both sides of the page.

This profile ends with its limits, because they form half of its information. No solo record by Risingsun was verified on the platforms consulted during this research, carried out on October 20, 2026: no single under his name, no artist page of his own, no album, no second feature confirmed by a primary page. No biography, no official photograph and no social media account confirmed by direct opening was found, so the structured data of this page links to no external account. The Spotify link printed in the description of “selfish” is that of the Lyrical-k record: it is flagged as a presence on the page, and it provides Risingsun with neither a page of his own, nor an identity link. His personal origin is published by no unambiguous source, and the contradictory tags of the page, Dominican Republic against music of Dominica, are left for what they are: a search block, not an identity card.

The verified scope therefore fits into one record, one post and one text. The record: “selfish”, by Lyrical-k, documented by its YouTube page opened in full, with its complete credit roll, studio, mix, cover and back up vocals named. The post: verse 2, attributed to risingsun in the description and in the feature heading. The text: the lyrics of that verse, printed by the page, read here line by line. If Risingsun one day publishes a record under his own name, an artist page or a biography, this profile will be completed and dated, like every page on this site. In the meantime, it publishes what the page gives, and this page gives a lot for a feature: a guest voice, a whole verse, and the exact words it sings.

Frequently asked questions

Who is Risingsun?

It is the only recording entered in the structured data of this profile.

What does Risingsun sing in his verse?

The lyrics published by the page tell an assured answer to the selfish accusation of the chorus: the voice lets the other go with her love, keeps making his money, displays the Gucci and Louis brands and the fete with the girls, judges that the other one ran after his money and that a person can please without being good for him, and lays down his conditions for any return. This summary follows the text printed in the description, line by line.
