Backstory:
In 1988 Donny "STRANGE" Sanders was overwhelmed by what many have called the "Golden Age" of hip hop. Def Jam was releasing classic after classic as was TX indy powerhouse Rap-A-Lot. Being a young impressionable lad, he started rhyming and battling other kids consumed by the art form that had finally trickled down to TX.
Fast-forward to 1992. Upon graduating from high school, STRANGE enrolled into the University of North Texas with a UIL speech/drama scholarship, and became a founding member of the Cooperative of Black Filmmakers. He hosted a public access rap video show (Just Loungin') on NTTV and featured on the OakCliff Assassin LP "A Hit on the Hitman."
Teaming up with childhood friend Byron "B-Down" Lacy in 1995, STRANGE started freestyling on B-Down's mix cd's and created a buzz in the North TX area. Performing at parks and nightclubs helped hone STRANGE's rhyme skills, and in 2000 "Rhyme Like This" was released in parts of North TX and southern Oklahoma. 103.9 FM in Wichita Falls, TX played the singles "Yet & Still", "Back at the Bar" and "SweeTtooth" on Battle of the Beats and after dominating the radio competition received regular rotation between 7 & 11 pm.
STRANGE continues to make an impact in the DFW Metroplex. He is a member of the multimedia company ABLOS, who is responsible for the cult YouTube series "TrapHouse the Show". He has a number of releases now available on Spotify + Soundcloud. Producer/rap artist/writer/director/majordomo.
