Sonny Black
In 2002 Bushido released the album "Carlo, Cokxxx, Nutten" under his pseudonym, Sonny Black (arguably in the same manner as Eminem), in which he worked with Fler. The name would appear to be a nod towards his American musical influence; in that country, Sonny Black was the mafia nickname of notorious Bonanno crime family mobster Dominick Napolitano. In 2003 he released the solo album Vom Bordstein bis zur Skyline. It was an enormous success for what was still basically an underground release.

C.W. Stoneking
34 year old Australian bluesman, C.W. Stoneking, has a distinctive sound, his music sounds as though it could have been recorded 80 years ago. He describes his style as "Hokum Blues", a musical brew influenced by prewar blues, ragtime, vaudevillian novelty tunes, dark old hillbilly songs, jazz and calypso. He wears a ragged black suit and a preachin' hat, writes songs about singing dodo birds, mutters and holds conversations with himself onstage and has a distinctively growling singing voice. C.

Coal Chamber
Coal Chamber is a nu metal band from Los Angeles, CA, USA formed in 1995. They enjoyed some mainstream success in the mid to late 90's during the nu metal boom which they, along with bands like KoЯn helped create.
