Substantial, (born Stanley Robinson[1]), is an African-American MC from Prince George's County, Maryland. He released his debut album, To This Union A Sun Was Born, in 2001 as a collaboration with Japanese producer Nujabes. After gaining significant popularity in Japan,[citation needed] Substantial began work on his second album, Sacrifice, which he planned to release under his Unlimited Vinyl, Ink label. However, longtime friends and colleagues QN5 Music secured a firm distribution route, and signed Substantial in mid-2006.[citation needed] The album was released in early 2008, to critical acclaim.[citation needed] The video for "It's You (I Think)" has sparked a significant rise in popularity,[citation needed] appearing on MTV and in other major media outlets.[citation needed]
Substantial is currently working with Seattle producer Marcus D as Bop Alloy.
