Bonze,” aka Leroy R. Doctor, was born in Marion, Indiana on June 18, 1979. He lived in South Carolina until 1986, and moved to his current residence in Montclair, New Jersey in 1987. Bonze was inspired by all rappers that could rap fast or “Twist”, particularly Twista, Bone Thugs & Harmony, Crucial Conflict and Spice One. He liked them because their rap style was similar to his. This style of rap was different and difficult to master, so he mastered the craft and developed it into his on style, resulting in him becoming one of the fastest rappers in the world.

He memorized his first rap when he was 6 years old by listening to Whodini’s classic hit, “Five Minutes of Funk”. He wrote his first rap song in 1989 and has been ruling with it ever since.

Growing up in Montclair, NJ, Bonze often hung out in a section known as “Da Hollow” which consisted of many local residents and fellow rappers. They also formed a group called “Hak-Mob”. Most people thought they were a gang because they wore red, but it wasn’t as serious as that. Recently they all organized a click called “Hollow Crime Family”. Bonze recently had a daughter, Niah Elizabeth Doctor, now 2 years old. She's his greatest inspiration.

When asked where did the name Bonze come from, he will tell you “He was skinny as a child so everyone from the hood called him “Bonze.” Leroy says with a smile that he “enjoys making money, counting money and spending money.” He also says, “forget what you’ve been told, I’m the fastest rapper and I’m ready to battle whenever.” Besides making music and money he also has a strong belief in God.  BONZE
