SRNC Affiliate/Molemen Records Artist

Astonish joins the veteran hip-hop collective, the Molemen, as their youngest burgeoning emcee. Originally from Humboldt Park but now residing in Old Irving/Jefferson Park, Astonish embodies Chicago’s capacity to produce a street-smart lyricist with enough intelligent swagger to hold his own in the midst of both the thugs and the backpackers.

Having been reared in a diverse musical environment, Astonish gained a unique eclectic auditory experience that has helped him develop his balanced approach to music. Between the old-school soul records of his grandparents’ era, his father’s penchant for NWA, and his own musical delving with everything from Usher to Nas to Red Hot Chilli Peppers: Astonish’s rhymes convey a multitude of topics that reflects this musical heritage.

In 2008 Astonish dropped an EP titled “From Now Until Forever” produced by the Molemen, Cucs, O-Zone, and others. In 2011, Astonish will release the “AstonishinglyODD Project” with a free version as well as an iTunes version for all his supporters.

Astonish joined the SRNC team from the very beginning of its creation.
