Back on earth, ShunGu follows the 2018 album Exile Dreams with A Black Market Album featuring Pink Siifu, Spote Breeze and Mamoyo.
On his journey to travel to a different horizon. Lost In the middle of eternity. A new sunlight on his way through the darkness of humanity. Victory in defeat, ShunGu has rebuilt his spaceship.

It’s the beginning of the end of something… Symbolizing eternity, inspired by the work of Gods, ShunGu has mastered his perspective of music.
