Artist To Be On The Look Out For:

Artist To Be On The Look Out For Is:

Reppa Ton

Who Is Reppa Ton: He’s a Multi-talented Musician from Richmond, Virginia. He’s A humble individual but as complex as a rubrics cube ha-ha

1.What are three things that your fans don't know about you: My hair is My everything, I’m a Adele and St. Vincent fan, and I’m a perfectionist. I’ve written literally thousands of songs and recorded more but they will never be released because it doesn’t fit my likings

2. What inspires you to rap: my mother, my love for the art and overcoming common black statistics? With me dropping out of school and being street bred. I feel it’s only right to make it to the top

3. What do you think about today rap music is it changing for the better or worst explain: Better, because artist are becoming more in tuned with self-expression and being “that” person isn’t cool anymore. Fans are starting to like the artist for being the artist

4. Why should people listen to your music: My music is relevant and timeless, I base my music on energy, emotions and emphasis. With those any fan can connect within of the track.

5. What's your favorite food and why: Egg Rolls because the hood Chinese store down the street from me had the best ones for 99 cents ha-ha

6. If you wasn't rapping what else would you be doing “If I Weren't Rapping' I Be Trapping” (laughs) shout out to 2Chainz, but naw if I wasn’t rapping I’d probably be singing or producer full-time

7. What do you want to achieve within the next ten years: Being known as Reppa Ton globally and not Jarrell Wood locally

8. What shall we be expecting of you this year or the year to come: #ThrIII the Mix tape, TV appearances, more blogs spots but mainly my rise to super stardom?

9. “Explain The ThRIII movement” The ThRiii movement is basically I base my life off a matrix of threes and my favorite number is 3 so at my shows and online all my fans throw up 3 fingers to represent the unity between music and the soul
