Hey I’m a producer/beatmaker from TX currently going to school in NY. I’ve been pretty active in the beat battle scene in NY. Last year I won 3 consecutive battles at the Nuyorican Poet’s Cafe. I just finished a concept beat tape that I’ve been working on for about a year now called “Beats, James Beats” Basically for the album I sampled every James Bond theme song in chronological order and the result is this beat tape. I just set up a website for the project, as well as a short youtube teaser, where short segments of each beat play over the original title sequences of the movies. Anyways, hope you enjoy!
Here is the URLs for the site and the youtube video:

BIO and Press:
The Tones
The Tones are progressive masters in the creation of soulful, honest hip hop in its most appealing form. Being compared to the likes of Blackstar, Tribe Called Quest, Slum Village, De La Soul, Little Brother and even Mobb Deep, many might wonder how such a sound can be derived from the California Bay Area.
This versatile duo consists of rapper-producer: Retro and rapper-singer: Suhn. Since the group first formed, The Tones have performed or collaborated with the likes of Common, Slum Village, Little Brother, The Roots drummer Quest Love, Hierolyphics, DoodleBug of Digable Planets and Dr. Cornell West to name a few.
The Tones debut album ‘Dreamtalk’ is about pursuing dreams and living through the struggles and pleasures encountered on the way. It also gives motivation to others in pursuit of their dreams. Mixing together a collection of laid back soul grooves and hard, vintage beats along with potent rhyme content, The Tones are sure to deliver a classic album… hence the Okayplayer.com album review.
The Tones are a breath of freedom and a testament that Hip Hop hasn’t died. It just needs a breath of fresh air; The Tones; creators of music that transcends genres beyond hip hop; or, simply put in the words of Grammy nominated artist Common, “Some real soulful brothers.”

“Sounds like yall and Dilla are cousins or something…” – Mike City
