As the "ambassador of everything awesome," Tony Hayes III p.k.a. 4-IZE is well recognized for his animated character, incredible stage presence & mechanical rhyme flow. He stands out from the plethora of rap artists through his marketing & promotional campaigns as well as branding himself as one of the most entertaining Hip Hop artists in Atlanta. With most of his notoriety coming from being featured on two 3x platinum Ludacris albums, 4-IZE bridges the gap between the mainstream & the underground artists everywhere. Not only an emcee but a writer, director, producer, A&R,
promoter, actor and radio personality, 4-IZE embodies all that is needed to restore the balance in Hip Hop
