The Artist formerly known as Kodak,
now "Tony 2X" was born in San Diego, California and raised in
Chicago, IL. Tony 2X found a passion for
Hip-Hop at an early age influenced by artists such as Tupac, Biggie, Twista,
Crucial Conflict, and Bone Thugs-N-Harmony. In 2011, Kodak began his music
career with a local Chicago Hip-Hop group Joint Logistics. Quickly catching
onto the game, Tony had the pleasure of headlining for major artist such as
Twista, Pharoahe Monch, Mystikal, Chino XL, Snow The Product, Master Ace, 9th
Wonder and more. Tony 2X showed no signs of slowing down after releasing
multiple mixtapes between 2011 and 2014 as well as shooting multiple videos and
performing at venues all around the city; Tony gained the respect of Chicago’s
Hip-Hop scene. Tony began to develop a
unique and everlasting style of rhyming. Sharpening his skills and perfecting
his craft with the guidance of his Group-mate K-mind. They quickly got back on
the grind releasing an album this time under the group Joint Logistics [Last
Call] (October 2016). They also released another album [Blowing My High] (July
2017). Things were now back in full effect and they premiered two new music
videos off the [Blowing My High] album “Fucked Up” and “Respect”. It was
finally the right time for Tony to drop his first solo album using a newly
built home studio. Tony released his solo album “Community Service” (October
2017 under his former alias name Kodak). Teaming up with an independent
distribution platform, he released his album digitally on all major digital
distribution platforms along with a Joint Logistics Bandcamp page, and more. Tony
also teamed up with an up and coming music videographer Dinero Films who has a
long artist list of clients throughout Chicago. Together they released a music
video to his debut single titled [The Intro] (New Beginnings). The artistic
craftsmanship and sound of Tony’s first album is truly something special. Tony
has also reached other areas of success gaining traction with his hit single
“Talk At All” earning him a video feature on BET JAMS. Along with magazine
front cover placements on YV Hip Hop Magazine and features on Chiraq Magazine
in his hometown of Chicago. Tony has currently released his sophomore album

his supporters and fans more raw and uncut music from his life experiences,
struggles, and successes. Keep your eyes open and your ears to the streets. As
Tony states, “It’s not always a clear view. Some will doubt you and some will
ride with you but I’m always looking up”
