Finally its here! The anticipated release of Tonez's debut EP "Allow Me 2 Introduce Myself". Seven years in the making, Tonez got to together with his long time friend and music stable mate Smokey to put together some tracks that they had already worked on throughout the years. Mix that with some production/beats provided by Smokey, some rip-off tracks from existing songs, and life experiences, and you have the platform to Tonez's solo release. At an early age Tonez always had a interest in the arts both visually, and musically. Though he never pursued music in senior high, Tonez also did well in english and literature. From there he found an interest in poetry, and started writing short poems. Being a teenager growing up in the late 90's, Tonez was also influenced by rap music which was climbing the charts and becoming more commercial. Mixing such music influence with his writing of poetry, Tonez found himself developing rap lyrics. In senior high Tonez met Smokey and the two immediately hit it off. They later met another aspiring rapper who called himself Rhythm Messiah. He was taken into Smokey and Tonez's rap group and all three went on to call themselves the L.O.E.L.I.F.E Kavalry (aka 2LK). For a time Tonez got over rapping because he doubted his song writing abilities and didn't like his sound. After a few mixtape features, Tonez gained recognition as a vital memeber of the Kavalry, and the void of self doubt was filled. Now armed with a few more life experiences and a new motivation to rap Tonez has put togehter a 10 track EP hoping the audience can embrace and relate to his music. It is now up to us to see if we will allow Tonez to introduce himself.
