Although he was an MC and a DJ, he was most famous for being an influential producer in hip hop music. He was the producer behind Poor Righteous Teachers, YZ, Blaque Spurm, Baby Chill and The Funk Family. He has also produced tracks for Young Zee, Outsidaz, Pace Won, Blvd Mosse, King Sun, Scott Lark, Kwest tha Madd Lad and Shawn Lov.
Tony D was the first artist to have a record released on Mark Rae's burgeoning British Grand Central Records independent record label (then called Gone Clear Records). His other albums were released on his label Cha-Ching Records and 4th & B'way/Island/PolyGram Records, and he was a part of the group Crusaders for Real Hip-Hop, which released one album on Profile Records called Déjà Vu - It’s ‘82.
Tony D's early records were sampled by several artists, including Naughty by Nature on the hit "O.P.P." and by Heavy D without permission. All cases were settled out of court.
Apart from Tony D, Depula was also known professionally under the names Harvee Wallbangar, Don Nots, Don Sluggo, the Goombata and, in his earliest credits, Grand Pubha Tony D.
Later in life, Depula hosted a weekly hip hop radio show on Princeton University's 103.3 FM WPRB, which aired in Central New Jersey.
