Conscious Toney: This Conscious Fuckkk Toney

24HHH: How did you come up with your Producer/Artist name? Tell us about it.

Conscious Toney: My Father (R.I.P) has the same name as me, i’m a Junior. So people called him Toney instead of Ant, so i ran with that. Then the  “Conscious” part just came from me being an aware person, and lastly my “Alter Ego”.

24HHH: Where are you from, and what was it like growing up there?

Conscious Toney: I was Born and Raised in Far Rockaway, Queens then i moved to Long Island later on.  Far Rockaway is the Jungle. That’s where i seen a lot of things happening in the Streets and  where i got my swag, and my mentality. Long Island is more diverse and i seen another side and lifestyle there.

There’s a lot of rage that need too be release. So in the middle of High School, that’s  when i quit all the bullshit and i was  just focused on Music.

Conscious Toney: I started making Music around 4th grade

24HHH: What inspired you to pursue making music?
