Suntonio Bandanaz CD Release Party

Starting the evening off will be a movie screening of MAD Krew’s Northwest Hip Hop documentary “Enter the Madness”, which commemorates the 10th year since it’s national debut. This classic film produced by DJ Scene and directed by King Khazm swept the country by storm giving national exposure to Northwest emcees, deejays, b-boys and writers such as Swollen Members, Khingz, Massive Monkees, Alpha-P, Kutfather, Cause-B, Jabs, Lifesavas and many more during the late 90’s era. Live Performances and the CD Release Party will begin following the screening with Suntonio Bandanaz, special surprise guests and DJ’s Dev and Gumbeaux.

The question of the night of course: “Who Is Suntonio Bandanaz?!” A listen to the CD reveals a highly skilled, verbally dexterous emcee with a hard edge smoothed by elevated flow, and ability to chop at a pace that smartens the listener’s ear. A sophisticated lyricist committed to keeping rap clever, his distinctive style has influenced many other local up-n-comers over the years. Suntonio Bandanaz is a core emcee and spearhead of the pioneering hiphop collective Alpha P. (1st Platoon). One of Seattle’s most prolific in “Underground Hip Hop”, Suntonio Bandanaz (aka Asun, aka Maddwon) has appeared on hundreds of tracks and indy-released over a dozen projects. Master of the hustle, he is a local legend who has moved over ten thousand units– mostly hand to hand on the streets. Over the years Bandanaz has shared stage with the respected likes of Afrika Bambaataa, Dead Prez, Percee P, The Jacka and Living Legends; and collaborated with many of Seattle’s prominent emcees.

“Who is Suntonio Bandanaz?!” is widely considered the best solo album from Alpha-P recorded to date. Featuring production by dj100 Proof, PhreeWil, WD4D, Audeos (as well as Blake & Dead Noise) and with appearances by Gabriel Teodros, Khingz, Macklemore, Julie C., Kas-1 and Skim, the record is one of the most anticipated, groundbreaking new projects from the Northwest.
