Since hooking up in 2001, The Tones, who consist of rapper/singer Suhn and rapper/producer Retro, have finally released a full-length project on Plug Label. Prescribed for fans of Soul Village, Kanye, and Little Brother, the album is laced with soulful tracks and positive yet versatile flow, as they seek to take audiences on a journey through what they refer to as “DreamTalk”.
Although there are a few hooks on the album that sound like repetitive refrains that could contain more thought, there does exist a good selection of sample influenced and catchy choruses. Not to mention that The Tones’ flow is versatile no matter the subject, along with Retro’s quality production which can be described as Primo/Dilla influenced without sounding too “copycatish.”
After getting this album i was not sold on it at first until i played it a couple of times and then it came to me that this is a well done album.So i suggest you listen to the tracks first before you buy. peace
