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.
dis songs iite i would bang dis in ma car 4 sho. i dont kno much bout production but it sounds gud to me. (im a simpleton, ignorance is bliss lol) ill check up on dis about production yall. tyme to get educated.
Like the beat on here...and yes the chorus is jacked from GHorilla Zoe...but it actually is what makes the song hott cuz his flow is just average to me.
2 stars only 4 da beat....
flow is wack, overused rhyme scheme + plus this boy sounds like young jeezy on helium... oh, btw... sampling zoe for a chorus doesn't help at all...
Don't get me wrong, i like Gorilla Zoe but he is not gud in DIS...he shuda had a betta part. I like Tone Tone tho- a lot actual-e...he haz a cute name!-haha
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.
