Editorial Reviews

Review
The Tones are some real soulful brothers. --COMMON (g.o.o.d. music rapper/actor)

Product Description
The Tones are progressive masters in the creation of soulful and honest hip hop in its most appealing form. Being compared to the likes of Common, Kanye West, Blackstar, Tribe Called Quest, Slum Village, and Little Brother, 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 who can sing anything from soul music to opera. Dreamtalk is an album 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. Dreamtalk challenges the hip hop community with potent content. With rhymes and vintage beats, The Tones are here to deliver a classic album. Since the group first formed in 2001, The Tones have toured with the likes of Common, Slum Village, Little Brother, Roots drummer QuestLove, and Dr. Cornell West to name a few. Within the same period of time, Suhn and Retro have developed great musical chemistry along with friendship. Together, they have grown from amateurs to professionals, from brothers to fathers, and, from dreamers to conquerors. Still they never stop dreaming. The Tones have ambitions and aspirations to create multi-platinum selling albums and, eventually, become CEOs of their own respective companies.

5.0 out of 5 stars Solid listen all the way through, January 14, 2009
By Romskiii (San Francisco, CA) - See all my reviews
The Tones huh... It's pretty rare these days to discover an album as versatile as this one. Solid listen all the way through. Jazzy, hip-hop sounds that range from introspective head-knockers to energetic, party-starters. Go see `em live. No doubt about it - a quality debut from this Bay Area duo. Recommended.
