Anthony Smith is the lead DJ in Kansas City for clubs and concerts. His home club was Bodywork's Phase II. Some of his experience includes radio commercials for local clubs such as VI, Candy and Bodywork's Phase II. He has also been the host of a long list of stage concerts. He is professional and excels in his work.
He has grown from an artist to a media vehicle. One of his creations, Kansas City's first Urban TV Show has been highly viewed as BET or MTV ready. He has been filming for about 16 weeks now. In his show he will be interviewing national and local acts following it with music videos and the Midwest way of life. He also shines the spotlight on our young people from straight A student to talented kids with great potential.
Everybody wins on Tones World.
Tone, can provide professionalism and ratings.
Being from the area of Kansas City and the hottest spots can produce a show full of impact. He has earned the respect of business owners of clubs, promoters, small and large area companies, DJs and local persons from Sean Edwards (Fox4News) to Kenny Lumpkin (First Fridays CEO).

He has collaborated with artists such as Lil Flip,and Techn9ne and hes opened for Ludacris, Lil Flip, Mya, Mystical, Eightball, Techn9ne, the late Biggie Smalls and KRS one to name a few. However, after touring with Techn9ne on the Absolute Power Tour, Hobo gained an even larger fan base and had an opportunity to deliver his message to thousands of fans throughout the country.
Hobo is currently in the studio working on his next CD. However, Kansas Citys premiere producer and rapper has found his voice in the industry and hes nearing the top of his game. Smith is taking his music to another level by kicking out tracks for an upcoming independent film Halfway Home written by Vin Morreale of VSM Productions. After placing two of his beats on Breaking and Entering, a romantic comedy that was also written and directed by Morreale he was asked to contribute to his next project.

Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
I was the lead DJ at Two hot spots in Kansas City so I control what the kids listen to in the clubs and I'm responsible for help breaking records in my town. I play for about 1500 people a weekend. I'm also on the radio (KPRS Hot 103 FM) every week doing drops and commercials for other clubs and companies.

Reviewer: JAZKIA1
This is one of the hottest CD's out right now....the tracks are off the hook and the style is one of the most unique I have heard in a long time. It's nice to get back into feeling music and lyrics, not just one or the other
Reviewer: John Z
Its a fun album... Hobo introduces you to himself on the intro and invites you into the album. On the whole it is a solid album. Hobo is able to meld his harsh style with the beats rather well. The album also illustrates some nice collaborate with Tech N9ne, Spice-1 and DOVE Dawg to name a few. Can't wait for the next release...

I like the concept of this show. This can only give KC the credibility that it's lacking
with Promoters & Artists, which only helps everybody in the long run
