Hanz On

Anthony Messado (born July 24, 1974), better known by the stage name Hanz On or Hannibal The Great, is an American rapper and an affiliate of the Wu-Tang Clan. He released his solo debut, Out Of Chef's Kitchen in 2010, and has since co-founded a record label called Hanz On Music. He is closely tied to another Wu-Tang Clan affiliate named Carlton Fisk.

Out Of Chef's Kitchen
Hanz On released his debut album, Out Of Chef's Kitchen, after signing to Ice Water Inc. in 2010. He had previously been a part of Ice Water and featured on their debut crew and compilation albums. The solo album contained verses from Raekwon, Inspectah Deck, and Busta Rhymes among others.

In August 2009, Hanz attained notoriety after an incident during that year's Rock The Bells festival. Hanz punched rapper Joe Budden in the face because of a feud that Budden had with Raekwon and other members of the Wu Tang Clan.
