Tez The Don, the rapper born Dontez Burgess February 24th, 1995 in Inkster, Michigan began rapping at age 9. He grew up influenced by his parents & numerous cousins who were rapping. He began recording himself in 2008 at age 13 and from there he released many songs & mixtapes under the alias "Skinnie" up until he was about 16. At age 17 he decided to go on a hiatus that would unfortunately & unexpectedly last up until he was 21, so that he could develop into an outstanding lyricist and great songwriter / song creator. Tez The Don then returned much wiser and much more of a complete artist which led him to change his name from Skinnie to Tez The Don which is a play on his actual name with his reason being "Aside from moving solo like a don, I wanted to get rid of any gimmick. Everything in my music is related to my personal life and actual events so it felt right."
