Tone the Chiefrocca

Tone the Chiefrocca is a rapper act from Season 8 of America's Got Talent.

Background
Tone the Chiefrocca, whose real name is Anthony Granger, is a songwriter and rapper from Inglewood, California. His little brother Colby, aka ColyCole, is his "hype man" who performs with him onstage. Together, they hope to have music's next No. 1 hit single with "B-Double-O-T-Y." Tone's uncle Vern introduced him to rap when he was young, and it was at Culver City High School that Tone wrote his song "B-Double-O-T-Y" in 2004, with the help of his dad and uncle. His dad believed the song was an electrifying, energetic hit, so much so that Tone never wrote another song. 1
