Never Let Em See Ya Stress In 1992 the murder rate in Seattle was at an all time high and gang banging was at its prime. There was a young man running the streets all caught up in the game. This young man found that he had a talent, a talent that was brought to light by musical artist such as Run DMC, Ice Cube, LL Cool J and E40. In 1995 he decided it was time for him to bring his talent to the next level. He started recording songs at "Let's Do it Studios" in the Central District of Seattle. In early 1996 he was scouted by an "up coming" record label. After a couple of months of negotiations he was signed by this "up coming" record label, he goes by the name of Skuntdunanna AKA Mafia. In late '96 the contracts were signed and Skuntdunanna recorded over 40 songs over a 5-year period. After a long 5 years the label released his first album. During this time he learned a lot from them as an artist. He performed in Canada, Las Vegas, California, Idaho, Montana, and New York. Skuntdunanna has opened for platinum artist such as Snoop Dogg and the Eastsiders, Ludacris, Destiny's Child, Jesse Powell, Ja Rule, 2 Live Crew, Tech 9, Yuk Mouth, RBL Posse, and many others. After the release and subsequent success of his first and only album with this record label he decided it was time to grow as an artist and he left. Shortly after leaving, Skuntdunanna decided to use his knowledge of the music business and start his own record label, a label where he could feel comfortable, and where he could use his knowledge to succeed. At the same time as Skuntdunanna was creating SkuntMuzik he got back in touch with an old friend in the music business, David "D-Sane" Severance CEO of Street Level Records. In 2003 SkuntMuzik released their debut album "The Streetz Iz Enough" with Street Level Record's assistance. In 2003 the hit single "It Ain't Hard to See" came in ..3 in a local end of the year countdown on Seattle's ..1 Hip Hop Station, Kube 93. Skunt has produced beats and appeared on over 30 different albums and has fans all over the world. Skuntdunanna has only started to show the world his talent and abilities. 2006 is his year to shine and to show the world what he can do. With a worldwide tour in the planning stages and hundreds of songs and beats in his arsenal he is primed to make his impact in the music industry.
