New snippets of the songs from Tone's latest single are now available. MP3 versions of Playaz, Gimme Some, and Education of a Felon are featured on the music page.

Each of these songs is totally unique in content and style:

• Playaz is a glimpse into the life & relationship issues a young hustlin' rapper deals with, layed over a classic rock/R&B melody.
• Gimme Some is a controversial and hard hittin' track laced with Tone's game out at the club.
• Education of a Felon - the title track on Tone's upcoming album - is completely different: the track has a smoothed out R&B feel, live instrumentation and soulful vocals, with some of Tone's most heartfelt and personal lyrics.

Tone rocked the mic Saturday night. In front of a private audience, Tone performed five songs, with turntablist Jr. High on the decks, smokin' the vinyl [and other thangs!]. Tone rocked it and the crowd loved it. I'll be posting pics as soon as I get them from the event photographer. It was a small venue but a great start for Tone. Thanks to all who attended for your ongoing support of Bad Seed Music & Tone - mad love!

Just so you know, we are working on booking a number of performances throughout October. We are looking at venues in the East Bay and in LA. We'll keep y'all posted as soon as we finalize the dates and locations.

Since Tone released the three-track promo single about one month ago, the Bad Seed street team has been furiously promoting the project, hitting clubs, parties, DJs, friends, and concerts with the disc.

So far, we've put out close to 2,000 copies of the CD, with more than 8,000 more to go. And this CD is no joke - three bangin' tracks, top-notch production & lyrics. So far, we've gotten a tremendously positive response, and all the Bad Seeds thank each of you who has supported us so far. Still, we are just beginning this endeavor, and we need every single bit of support you are willing to offer.

On that note, the other day we got a call on the Bad Seed Music hotline from Reno, NV. Seems that one of Tone's CDs made it into the hands of a producer out there and he is going to help us get Playaz on the radio. Nothing is finalized or certain yet ... however, at this time, here's what all of us can do to move this situation forward:

Call the local radio stations and Request Playaz by Tone!
