Bonshah was a member of the pioneering Double R&B group L.C.P. in and out of the 1980's. He was successively an active solo artist throughout the 1990's, yet also helped foster projects and appeared on various compilations.

His 2001 solo debut album entitled 'Not on the Map'- the title alluding to the origins of his curious moniker- displayed a variety of styles and subject matter; a patische of tribute and progression. This limited release garnered an East Coast Music Award Nomination, and included contributions from noted artists Nate C, Papa Grand, Cindy Cain, Mr Hu and Candyman.'
In 2005 Bonshah Faruq completed his first work of conventional literature named 'The Happy Crow', in which the metaphor of the ever-present crow evokes aphorisms, ponderances and spiritual obsessions, constructed with diary-like intimacy in a non-linear pattern.

In 2007 Bonshah will be releasing his new album on Deadbeats Entertainment entitled “The Mighty Masta Don”. With a decade and a half of experience under his belt and a stage show that no one can match, Bonshah will soon become a framiliar face in canadian hiphop.
