专辑简介

Tone Status not your average brother rapping/half these brothers acting/they just study the script and then its lights camera action/Well if life’s like a movie im da f***ing main attraction" These bars might seem awkward coming from a man who's had mild success on the silver screen. But if you've ever met Tone Status, he does a very good job of separating real from fake. Coming up in Harlem amongst many notable rappers, Tone always dibbled and dabbled with 16's and hooks; however, he always wanted to do more than just rap. He wanted to go left, while everyone else went right. Tone shifted his energy into the streets. "Everything my peers were rapping about, I was really doing, that was always my edge over a lot of my peers growing up. Now embarking on a career in rap, Tone believes he has an edge on his competition in the music industry. "I truly believe I’m a better artist than most rappers with deals right now. Give me and 9 signed artists 12 beats from the top producers in the game and a week and i bet 7/10 people will say I put the best project together."

Mr. Status is currently finishing up his debut album "Everybody Iz Watching, "which will be accompanied by a 60 minute videomentary slated for a Summer Release off his And What Entertainment Imprint. He's finally shifting his focus to recording music; however, Tone remains to be The Renaissance Man that everyone knows him as. With his busy music schedule, Tone still finds time to get featured in films and sitcoms, write screenplays, develop his artists, do community services, work for a clothing line based in Paris, and most importantly be a dad. "Being a father has been one of my biggest inspirations as an artist, my daughter is only 16 months, but when she hears one of my songs, she loses it!" Tone recently finished his EP, creatively titled T.S.U.N.A.M.I.I. It’s an acronym for Tone Status’ Unique New Age Music Is ILL. And That It Is. Tone Status possesses a unique flow, a new age swagger and his wordplay is sick.

While Tone's main focus is his career, he's also trying to flourish the carreers of the people around him. His Diplomat(Dip Set) background has helped enable Tone to be a boss and a teacher. "I've put in a lot of work for The Dip Set Movement, learned a lot of lessons and I thank Young Twin(Juelz Santana's Brother/Road Manager) for bringing me on board. Tone basically remixed the blueprints of Roc-A-Fella, The Diplomats, and Murder Inc. To form his own blueprint for his And What Entertainment imprint. Home of artists such as D-Rugz, Caine Reason,and himself. He wants everyone around him to have a job and for them to work it." At And What we have a very small staff,but I want my people to excel in their position so much that when a major label signs me, the label respects my staff enough to hire them as employees. Tone Status isn’t just Hip-Hop’s next big star, he’s the next big Black Mogul.
