Sonkhonkett, MA. 01986. Pop. 20,587.

A few miles north of Boston, nestled between Revere, Saugus and Lynn is the town of Sonkhonkett. Partitioned off in the 1620's as Indian territory by treaty illegal settlers established the Rumney Marsh as a farming community. After the separation from Chelsea in 1871 Sonkhonkett boomed in the lucrative industries of Paper clip and novelty vomit production. This along with its horse track and mediocre yield in clams sustained the town until the end of the industrial era in the 1970's.

Rap in this zip code doesn't take it easy on the fire department. Tommy was struggling to find his rap voice, so unfortunately he took the asinine contrarian route as a reaction to NWA's "Fuck The Police." As we see with his song "Fuck The Firemen" on his first album.
