If you think hip-hop has an honesty problem, don’t only go blaming the studio gangstas. These days, rappers too often fail to be true to themselves whether that means not practicing what they preach or expressing their desires but never their fears. Sooner or later, we all need a healthy dose of Sonny Bonoho. An Asian American MC known by the stage name of Sonny Bonoho has shown his notorious bright lights and simultaneously brought a measure of humor in the Pacific Northwest. “Sonny Bonoho’s music is to improve quality of life. It’s the struggle to solve problems within yourself,” he explains. It was a long stride for Sonny Bonoho to start making his name for himself in the Tacoma/Seattle area.

His debut album, “Life of a Back-Up Singer” which includes Bohagon, Playboy Tre, Humpty of Digital Underground, and more. This rapper/producer/promoter has made a name for himself because of his genuine style and offbeat personality. The original concept for his album was to feature HipHop as the lead vocal and Sonny Bonoho on the back-up mic. “Everything about me is unorthodox and that’s how I feel about HipHop”.
