ANTONIO J. SMITH

(Born August 7,1989) better known by his stage name "Tone Butta" is a Soul Rap Recording Artist, Actor, Advocate, and also a Poet from Washington D.C.

Raised in the Urban parts of the Nation's Capital, Tone Butta is a talented & gifted young man who couldn't seem to shake the enticing and dangerous lifestyle of the streets. Always keeping his pen and pad by his side as he grew older, he found an outlet from the troublesome activities of the street life in the District Of Columbia and wrote rhymes & poetry every chance that he could get. After many face to face encounters with death, also struggles with depression & suicide, and many other troubles & afflictions that he faced growing up, he finally decided to give his life to Jesus Christ.

GOD began to change not only his way of living but also his talent to Rap from negative & corruptible, to positive & testimonial. Now he is on a mission to be a light to those who are still stuck in the dark & dangerous lifestyle that he once lived by using his GOD given gift to Rap, Act & speak poetry in a divine & impactful way, being relatable to those who have took a walk on both sides of the fence, Good and Bad.

Tone Butta's music captivates his listeners with a unique delivery, sharing the testimonies of his life experiences in every song, spitting clever & thought provoking lyrics about his faith, life lessons that he learned, and the hardships that he endured growing up in the D.M.V area, as well as real life problems & situations that we as people in society go through everyday. Tone BuTTa's style is very unique, diverse & eclectic, and although he delivers with a very street savvy & soulful sound, there are substantial messages in every one of his songs, and the main message that he always shares with his listeners is how GOD delivered him from a dark lifestyle of evil & wickedness to save his Soul.
