Born in Edo State, Tony Ross
a.k.a Skinny Rapper is a rapper and an excellent producer. His love for
music started at a ridiculously young age when he was hustling daily to
make ends meet in music pursuit. Things weren’t too easy as he didn’t
have access to a professional recording studio and he resorted to the
few good ones available; but his drive for music kept him going through
the odds.
Music for Tony Ross started in the year 2002 where Tony Ross was handling rap battles and some various hoods with some rap cats Mc Lee and Davi scan back then. He later merged with Davi scan and that relationship gave birth to a duo called “TD Blaze” they both worked on some songs and backed it up by shooting two (2) videos. “rap game” and “Ridiculous” which receive a good applause and airplay from local radios and tv stations in Benin city and its environs back then. Inadequate promotion and management made the rapper/producer to abandon the projects and work on some other projects while perfecting his skills as a producer also. He made the decision to be a producer because he wasn’t too satisfied with the production quality he was hearing back then.
His fans are glad he made that move in production. Tony ross has since laced the airwaves with sounds and melody notes that his fans described as “outa dis world” he gave hooked up with his first love “Rapping” and has since released unofficially a mixtape titled “H.O.D” an acronym for “Hustle or die” which enjoys major news on blog sites across the net. He again officially released yet another mixtape called “Sept. 11”in 2011 and also enjoys major reviews nationwide. His production and rap skills wouldn’t go unnoticed as he got two (2) nominations at the SSMA “south-south music award for best producer/best hip-hop video, which made him one of the names to reckon with in whole of south-south, Nigeria.
Tony ross is recently working on a project with an undisclosed title and set to release a new mixtape “INSOMNIA”. He has since shot three videos to his credits: my loving, club on fire and now she’s gonna be mine. His production credits stretches from Cynthia Morgan, MC LEE, Yung6ix, cyrus tha virus, big splash, pc dre, fragrance etc. tony ross is single and his also not sign to any record label yet. He is hard working and very consistent.
