Sista Hailstorm, Julie C. and I had the pleasure of performing together at the 20th Annual Under the Volcano Festival of Art & Social Change in Vancouver, B.C. on August 8, 2010. Also performing was Rogue Pinay & May Tawa Sa Lahat (SEA), Olmeca, Militant Child (SEA), Cuauhtemoc, Abrstract Random & Ayo Leilani, Cristina Orbe (SEA), Delhi 2 Dublin and many more! Seattle was in the house! Shout outs to Lulu, Stephany Hazelrigg, Gabriel Teodros, Khingz and Jillz, and Sozan, who was a great hostess! There are no future Under the Volcano festivals being planned at this moment. So for right now, this was the LAST one! Thanks to all of the staff and volunteers for putting together a fantastic event!

 - Suntonio Bandanaz CD Release Party
“Who Is… Suntonio Bandanaz?!” Official Debut & Global Release Party
“Enter the Madness” 10year Anniversary Screening
& Birthday Bash for KING KHAZM!Thursday, February 25th 2010, 8PM
@ Chop Suey, Seattle WA

HEAR THE SINGLE “BANDANAZ” http://www.freshchoppedbeats.com/music/Bandanaz_clean.mp3
On Thursday, February 25th, Seattle’s Independent Label, Fresh Chopped Beats/MadK, will celebrate its first 2010 project: “Who Is… Suntonio Bandanaz?!” This momentous occasion will umbrella a 3 part celebration: the FIRST “official” professionally pressed and internationally distributed CD Release of Seattle Underground Hiphop legend Suntonio Bandanaz; the 10 year Anniversary of MAD Krew’s Northwest Hip Hop documentary “Enter the Madness” (produced by DJ Scene and directed by King Khazm); and a big birthday party for Seattle Hiphop luminary King Khazm (206ZULU, MAD Krew).
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.

 Knox Family EP available on iTunes and Amazon.com
Street savvy styles with lyrics that speak on the real, and beats that slap…That’s what the Knox Family EP is bringing to the party. Listen carefully for that particular Seattle swagger that’s been kept under wraps for all these years. You are listening to Jerm and Julie C., some emcees that are highly under-rated, coming up for the last decade in a crew called Alpha-P. These cats rip it harder on the mic than most of the cats you hear on the radio, hands down. And with guest appearances by Rufio and Toni Hill, singing and harmonizing, the tracks really melt into your brain. By the way, the production by DJ B-Girl ain’t no joke either, so don’t sleep. Cop the EP today.

A work three years in the making, manifested through loss of family, heartbreak and sweet new romance, “Only Love” is a delicious collection of soulful originals that tell an assortment of stories from the heart. Toni explains, “I wanted this album to be about love—like the old school music our parents listened to… I wanted it to be about love for friends, love from supporters; and most importantly about love for self, because without that you really can’t love anyone else.”
“Only Love” was produced by Amos Miller, a prolific producer and recording artist, who has worked with nearly all of Seattle’s hip-hop and R&B talent, including Choklate, Jake One, Gabriel Teodros, and Geologic from Blue Scholars. Only Love includes some of Seattle’s finest musicians from jazz, hip-hop, R&B, and world music, that include Mark Oi, Anthony Davis, Vitamin D, Aaron Walker-Loud, Royce Shorter Jr., Ethan Lawton, Chris Littlefield, Evan Flores-Barnes and others.
