Tone Tone - Jockin' ft. Gorilla Zoe
Artist: Tone Tone
Featuring: Gorilla Zoe
Producer: Tone Tone and Ruda [for D.B.F. Prod]
Album: D-Boy Fresh
Label: DBF Entertainment
Detroit’s hip-hop acts have famously fit into various subcategories of rap, from the acid sound of the early 90’s to the unconventionality of Slum Village and Eminem. With that said, rapper Tone Tone’s Midwest swag is like nothing ever heard of out of Motown. Tone’s influences include the well-known styles of Southern A-listers B.G., Bun B and Jazze Pha. His latest single, Jockin’, self-produced with assistance from Ruda of D.B.F. Productions, is a synthesizer-orchestrated, Freebase-esque platform for the D-Boy to spit his game. It reveals a fierce mixture of Detroit players’ swagger and the crunk-clubbability of the Dirty South. Atlanta’s Gorilla Zoe lends his observations as a Hood Figga whose style is jocked for the hook. Tone’s new album, D-Boy Fresh, is due out on August 28.

The beat on here is OK. I am not feelin Tone Tone's flow at all on here...It is really generic. Gorilla Zoe is hotter on here than Tone is.
In the end, I just think its OK...

The production is wack. The Gorilla Sample would've been hot if it was executed better. I'm disappointed about that. Tone Tone is nothing special. He's pretty run of the mill and sounds like a dime a dozen rapper.

Tone Tone is no different from the average rapper, and in an industry full of fakers and copycats, you want to stick out.

It will probably be a banger in the streets and in the clubs. It's pretty mediocre to me, but it's all you really need to sell ringtones these days. So why do more? Plus I feel like I've heard the beat before.

Gorilla Zoe is better on hooks than flowing over an entire song. He makes this song.
