"Texas-bred Fat Tony ascends the rich & ripe Houston underground to lead a brave new generation of Southern rappers... Fat Tony brings a wealth of unique perspective as a first generation Nigerian-American raised in the South and overall live dude. But quite frankly, all frills talk aside, goddamn he can rap! And Goddamn these beats are like smoking 3 blunts, drinking a 4 of lean, popping some adderall and then going to the hood skating rink for Tasha’s sweet 16 in the year 2222. He raps like a nigga that read a book before but a nigga nonetheless.” - RABDARGAB Press Release

[At Sunday's Music Awards Showcase], there was no one even close to his level of brilliance." - Houston Press Rocks Off Blog
