A Baltimore-born hip-hop artist and producer, Tobi Peso became known for his half-melodic/ half-rapped vocal style and catchy beats. His vocals fill the space between him and the beat, bending sounds in a way listeners find mesmerizing.

Born Hasani Bakari James Jr., Tobi Peso was born and raised in Baltimore county. Since middle school he’s been producing and freshman year of high school, is when his career as a music artist jumped off. With trial and error, he eventually found his melodic/rap style and his variety of production did nothing but support this. Tobi’s debut, Ransom!, was released December of 2018. Featuring guest appearances by Lucas Grey and Jacob Kloud (on the single “Ransom!”) as well as producers DatBoiTaj and Sir Jare, the project was shown love and became a success.
