Known for a distinctive sound that’s set him apart from the standard drill and hard-style rappers, New Jersey’s Tony Newbury continues to establish himself as one of the scene’s most intriguing talents with every release.
His unique flow and adept use of samples reflect a deeper, more layered artistic intent and approach —Newbury isn’t just here to entertain; he’s here to help you make sense of chaotic twists and turns of life. To that end, the minimum or even being average won’t do; Newbury is chasing brilliance, and we wouldn’t have it any other way.
Drawing from his personal hardships, Newbury hopes his music can serve as a beacon for those navigating their struggles. His musical journey began with the release of his well-received debut EP, Lonely in the Summer, in July 2019.
The world’s abrupt cultural shift and closure during the pandemic saw him lock in while life seemingly came to a standstill. He would double down on his craft, leading to the release of his similarly well-received sophomore album, Suburban Rap Music, in June 2020, followed swiftly by Nothing New that July. His prolific output continued with the 2021’s “Westwood” and his latest, most successful album, 2022’s “Over 21.”
As the opening act for his hotly anticipated album “No More Cigarettes,” Newbury’s new release “Route 9” would always be held to a high standard. He’s managed to meet and exceed those, however, with “Route 9” becoming a standout release in its own right.
Utilizing slightly more laid-back instrumentals, Newbury creates an introspective soundscape, making self-reflective lyrics like “Got a tray on the side/hella ash in my ride” just hit differently. It’s the perfect opening salvo and, perhaps even more fittingly, feels like the perfect vibe for a late-night drive.
With his distinct flow and advanced artistic vision, Tony Newbury continues to make a name for himself with yet another run of standout releases. Whenever you’re ready, tap in and stream Tony Newbury’s latest release, “Route 9,” fresh from his new album “No More Cigarettes,” out now on all major streaming platforms.
