Born Antonio Lamarr Clinkscales Jr. on February 17, 1981. At age twelve Antonio began practicing the art of hip-hop after hearing the song Thuggish Ruggish Bone by group Bone Thugs -N- Harmony. At that point he and his two cousins Eric Hubbard and Luther Hubbard formed a group they named Ruthless after the record label, Ruthless Records, where the group that inspired them was signed. From then on they would make videotapes of them rapping and other things, like making music videos and using a radio and headphones, as a microphone, plugged into the microphone slot of the radio to record demos with instrumentals of other hip hop stars. Then because of a job opportunity for his mother and her boyfriend at the time Antonio moved to Beaver Falls, Pennsylvania a city outside of Pittsburgh. Due to the fact his mother was never home Antonio would throw wild parties. At these parties there would be freestyle ciphers where everyone in the room that could rap would gather in a circle and go back and forth for hours at a time. Once adapting the name Da Anonymous Criket, Antonio began his solo project until he and his group members could reunite, writing and recording whenever and where-ever he could. His first album "The Devil's Advocate" has had the song "Look Me in My Eyes," from the album, debut on Pittsburgh's own 106 Jams W.A.M.O in July of 2003. Antonio has received great reviews for his lyrical display, hard work, and showmanship and hopes to one day reach many people with his music. He hopes to have his new album "Skitzofrenia" break him into the music industry with its release however, due to monetary issues this process has been delayed. But, with "I.P.P.A Recordz Presents....The Mixtape Vol. 1" circulating the local underground branching out into the Tri-State area, PA,OH, and WV, his debut should not be held up for long. "
