Artist description Anthony Rue II (Ant- Boogie) and Lijames Ferguson (Hustle) were both born and raised in New York City. The two first met at the National Dance Institute at age 11. It was there that Ant-Boogie and Hustle formed a brotherhood with one another. Performing together for years at NDI, they were convinced that they needed to take a step forward in the field of entertainment. Performing in local talent shows, TV programs, and club events helped spread the word about the Amount Boyz in New York City. They started out recording songs and placing them on their on mixtapes. And now, after touring with several artists such as Mario, 3LW, and other up and coming artists, they feel its time to step up their game. They have independently put together their own showcase in March, 2002 which sold out all 4 nights, their self titled website AmountBoyz.com had over 50,000 hits in 2002, and have caught a buzz in other countries with their first single "Freeze". With the buzz of Freeze they will continue recording and put out their own self titled CD in the spring. The definition of the "Amount Boyz" is, if you put your heart and mind into something you can achieve anything, and that is how the family became one. The Amount Boyz have put in hard work since 1995. They may not have achieved gold or platinum status but coming this far on their own, they feel like they have. They are not only just a rap group, but a strong hardworking family of entertainers that are hungry to reach the top of the mountain. Being the two creators of Amount Boyz, these guys have a rare chemistry with one another lyrically and mentally that is hard to find. Just listen to be blown away by what these two young men have created.
