Rondell Turner (born December 6, 1982), better known by his stage name Ron Browz (/ˈbraʊz/), is an American recording artist and record producer from Harlem, New York. He initially gained major recognition after producing the Jay-Z diss track, "Ether" by Nas. Due to the notoriety of the song, Browz adopted the nickname "Ether Boy". In 2008, he began recording music as a rapper, utilizing the Auto-Tune effect and subsequently released two popular singles, "Pop Champagne" and "Jumping (Out the Window)". He also founded his own record label imprint, Ether Boy Records.
Ron Browz began producing records for Harlem-based rapper Big L. He later gained an album placement with Nas' critically acclaimed song "Ether", which was used at that time to diss fellow rapper Jay-Z.
In late 2008 Ron Browz started working on his solo album Etherboy after receiving a deal from Universal Motown. The first single was "Pop Champagne", a collaboration with fellow Harlem rapper Jim Jones featuring Juelz Santana. "Pop Champagne" was included in Jones's 2009 album Pray IV Reign. The second single was "Jumping (Out the Window)"; the music video was released on January 27, 2009. He was featured on Busta Rhymes' first single "Arab Money" off his album Back on My B.S. and Capone-N-Noreaga's comeback single "Rotate" off their album Channel 10. Browz has also been thrust into pop culture thanks to the use of his third single "Gimme 20 Dollars". But his Etherboy album was never released and Browz parted ways with Universal in 2009, due to business disagreements. On December 22, 2009, Browz independently released an extended play entitled Timeless.
