Biography

Prodigal Sunn was the only child of indigenous parents and grew up in Brooklyn. His cousin is the RZA. During his youth, Prodigal was known as the ‘Sun of Man’ and was later re-christened "Prodigal Sunn" by childhood friend Killah Priest in reference to the well known parable in Luke chapter 15, verse 32. Along with Hell Razah and Sixty Second Assassin, they would form the first group associated with the Wu Tang Clan known as Sunz Of Man, though the group's first anme was called The Last Future. They would go on to release two studio albums, entitled “The Last Shall Be First” and “Saviors Day.” Compilation albums furthered the group's cause.
