Fat Tony

Young Black American from Houston named Fat Tony Obidiyah Geoffrey Jones (born March 24, 1988) likes music and has for a very long time. Particularly pop music, rap music and rock 'n' roll catch his fancy.

Starts booking & promoting punk rock and ska shows at age 16 at local hippie owned art house, and plays in his first string of random bands. Enjoys what he does. Keeps up involvement and interest. This is where he's at now.

Here's what some people think of him:

The slim-fitted and quick-witted Fat Tony proved he's the most likely to succeed of the new bunch. At his most fundamental, he sounds like a New Age version of Questionmark Asylum with more staying power... when we write this article again next year, he won't be in the same position he's in now."
- Shea Serrano, Houston Press

"Listen down, clowns. Fat Tony's flow is characteristic of the au' natural dynamic I yearn for... I am confident to recommend [Fat Tony's Love Life EP] to anyone who knows shit from shinola."
- Omar Afra, Free Press Houston


"Intelligent rhymes and a keen sense of worldliness show musical maturity light years beyond those who only listen to radio rap. There is something fresh and organic in his music and his approach/mantra of "loving life."
- Mike Damante, The Daily Cougar (University of Houston)


"...impressive rhyming abilities and tasteful lyrical content, all of which are accentuated by solid hooks and captivating beats... This is Hip Hop at its best."
- Chris Hanthorn, St. Edward's University Newspaper


"The way [Fat Tony carries himself] on stage is what I like most. The energy and the enthusiasm, jumping around... I love it. I absolutely hate seeing people get up there that are so gotdamn serious they just gotta stare at you and talk to you. ..anyone who doesn't download [the Love Life EP] and bang it is a dumb fuck. Its free and its quality serve. Get it good."
