2-Tone Bio

2-Tone an underground fixture in the Vancouver Hip hop community emigrated to Vancouver from Baton Rouge, Louisiana at a very young age. Growing up in a tough, poor neighborhood in East Vancouver and going to a posh high school in the West side made 2-Tone quickly learn to adjust. Determined not to let 'the short hand that he was dealt with' get in the way or become a crutch 2-Tone channeled his focus and energies to become the 1998 World Champion of Sport Jiu jitsu.

2-Tone's first love though is Hip hop, and it's quite evident from his debut record entitled 'The Professional' that he brings something fresh to the Hip hop table. The CD features 14 outstanding tracks that will please all. His style is a blend of Hip hop, Jazz, Reggae and World Beat and no two songs sound the same. Its refreshing to see 2-Tone take it back to the old-school when rappers actually could carry a whole album without having to have numerous guest appearances. His lyrical prowess really shines through with his smart witty rhymes, and at the same time he maintains a certain energy on the CD from beginning to end.

His first single 'Hello Kitty' pays homage to all the beautiful Vancouver girls, especially the ones with asian backgrounds. It was released on a limited basis to the Vancouver underground Hip hop radio circuit and became the most requested song of all-time by an independent artist. In 2000 his label Integrity Records released the Mad Love compilation featuring 2-Tone's single 'Can U Feel It?'. The video (a spoof of the Blair Witch Project) was aired on Much Music in Jan 2001. Finishing touches are being put on the next video, expect big things from 2-Tone and Integrity Records in the very near future.

    This secret agent strings together a dossier of world grooving bootycentric tracks loaded with wicked wit. It is easy to imagine a killer video for "Cross Hairs" or "Big 2"

  • great lyrics, unique beats
