Tekai Elijah Key[1] (c. 2004), professionally known as Lil Tony, Lil Tony Official, or Key, is an American rapper and producer from Atlanta, Georgia.[2]
Career
[edit]Key began rapping during the COVID-19 lockdowns after encouragement from a friend. He recorded the songs on his phone.[3]
In 2023, Key would sign to Priority Records. In July, he released the song "3AM".[3] In October, he released "Canoozled".[4] In November, he released the mixtape 2 Sides 2 Every Story.[2]
In April 2024, Key collaborated with Yhapojj on the song "SSwerve Geeked" off the album P.S. Fuck You.[5] A month later, in May 2024, after a shooting at an Atlanta nightclub, rumors spread that Lil Tony was killed in it. Lil Tony ended the rumors, saying: "stop it".[6]
In 2023, Key stated to Rolling Out that he intends to make more positively-messaged music and grow closer to Christianity. His album 14 Steps To Success exemplified this, with each song describing a method to make money.[7] In 2025, he released the Christian hip-hop album Born Again, which received a deluxe in April, that features 1900Rugrat and Nino Paid, among others;[8] it was ranked the sixth best hip-hop album of 2025 by Billboard.[9] He followed it with the singles "Let's Get Into It" on June 5[10] and "Answer My Prayers" on June 27.[11] In September, he was arrested and charged with gun possession.[1]
