"Be yourself or you might find yourself by yourself"
Tony D (Anothy DePeula) (6/28/66 - 4/4/09)
Underated, producer of Poor Righteous Teachers, along with other upcoming rappers in the 80's and 90's.. This guy lived up the street from me back in the 80's...drove a Toyota Supra with a boomin system we could hear from blocks away, he would tip his head to us as he drove past my driveway. When I caught him at a gas station, I asked him to sign the cassette single of his I had, he simply said "man I aint all that" but took a pen and signed "peace from tony D" on it. He did go on to make it "big" being affiliated with other major hip hop groups from the 80's and 90's also creating a new group "Crusaders for real hip hop" .. he kept that 80's - 90's vibe alive .. along with other releases thru the 90's into the 2000's ...keepin shit real although it didnt get much mainstream airplay..
he kept Trenton New Jersey on the map!!
