(1) Tone is a German hip-hop artist, born in Frankfurt. As part of Konkret Finn (the first German battlecrew) along with his former partner lz, he was one of the inventors of German battle rap.
After "Konkret Finn" broke up, Tone considered starting a solo career and was featured on songs of artists such as Azad, the Brothers Keepers, Curse, D-Flame, J-Luv, Killa Hakan, Melbeatz, Samy Deluxe, the Stieber Twins and Roey Marquis II.
His solo breakthrough came in 2004, when he formed "Fourtress" with Bintia and Billy Davis and toured all over Germany. One year later, he was featured on German star Xavier Naidoo's release "Bist du am Leben interessiert?", and also released his first solo album, "Zukunftsmusik".
(2) With her abstract break beats, fragile voice and mesmerizing lyrics, female artist Tone has found an impressive outlet for her inner musical strengths, creating experimental ambient electronica sounds ranging from uplifting moods to bleak shades of melancholy.
Musically, Tone - who carries the civil name Sofie Nielsen - creates a remarkable audiovisual realm in which her light and spell-binding voice adds to a bedrock of crunchy break beats, abstract compositional structures and melodic sounds and samples. Not being a typical songwriter in terms of clinging to the usage of the traditional structure of verses and choruses, Tone relies on improvisation and creative exploration in the creation of her unpredictable musical landscapes - while adding daunting, yet compelling lyrics - and thereby drawing listeners into her musical and atmospheric universe of thoughts, sounds and a myriad of emotional expressions.
Tone’s live performance is a spectacular experience. Accompanied by VJ Kristian Ravn Ellestad, the two blend together in an audiovisual symbiosis accentuating the moods of Tone’s emotionally charged music. Tone and Kristian have cooperated in making small individual movie loops to each of her tracks, adding coherency and an abstract kind of storytelling to the performance.
Tone is signed to Urlyd, an independent Danish record label.
(3) Tone is one of the most original MCs in Spain. With a style you may have never heard in a hip hop artist, Tone fills his songs with dark, claustrophobic pictures, being extremely well accompanied by Dark la eMe's almost trip hop instrumentals. He has created and developed his unique style through hundreds of shows and one album (2005). The underground spanish hip hop scene awaits his next album.

(4) Tone was formed in Washington DC in 1991 by Norm Veenstra, with the goal of creating dynamic instrumental music using a layered, multiple electric guitar format. Operating within a rock context, with a drummer, one or two bass players, and as many as six guitarists, the result was a sound that gladly accepted the unambiguous tonality of popular music yet still found room for meaningful dissonance - austere, dramatic, and loud. With an unmistakable lineage (Savage Republic, Nice Strong Arm, Glenn Branca, Rhys Chatham), Tone set about its earliest performances with the determination and belief that there was still room for intelligent instrumental music.
While Tone's first shows were often described as relentlessly raw, by the time of their first recording sessions in 1993 and 1994 they had evolved a more precise, if not polished, approach. One of the more fascinating characteristics of the band came about in their early performances, when sounds that no one actually played arose as a natural occurrence of the harmonic interplay of multiple guitars. Eschewing the theatrics of the guitar solo and the seductive allure of electronic effects in favour of highly arranged ensemble work and bright glowing power amp tubes, Tone delivered their first CD in November of 1994, Build (on Dischord/IPR), an EP of six songs that used layered and repeated interlocking guitar parts as compositional building blocks.
(5) TONE is a Western ensemble comprised of three musicians, who play the shakuhachi (an instrument representative of Japan), and the guitar. The trio's leader, Yukihiko Mitsuka, is well known not only as a shakuhachi player, but as a master craftsman of the instrument, as well. TONE expresses the elegance of traditional Japanese music, and is currently well-received in live performances in many parts of Japan.
(6) TONE (仲维军) is a MC/rapper singer song writer from Taiwan
(7) TONE is a metal band in Greenville, SC. https://tonesc.bandcamp.com/
(8) Tone is a french artist who has been performing on the Twitch platform since 2019. With the support of his community of 30,000 followers on the streaming platform, the artist more recently decided to embark 100% on this musical project, with the composition of a first EP released in December 2021.

But it's something about being touched
It's something about being fucked so young
That'll have you fucked up
I'm grown and I still have traumas affecting me
What is expected of a pure soul that's been so badly mishandled?
When expressing your true self would only reveal more damage
Asking god like
How I'm the victim but I'm stuck looking stupid?
Now I'm navigating being hyper-sexualized
Put my hands on the knife but can't bring myself to cut
Take a hand full of pills
I'm hoping this will numb me enough
And I wonder for myself
Will I ever be enough?
Friday night, walking home from a party
He think she thicker than a snicker
But she think he sour as a smarty
Cat-calling, he want the pussy
He decided that he wanted some nookie
He wanted to jar her attention so he can get some of her cookie
Monster, the way he follows her into the alley to sneak up on her
Lobster, the way that he nips at her weaknesses with his claw up on her
Bossed her around like she ain't have a choice, but to listen to him
She said she ain't want sex
But that ain't even really matter to him
I can't believe he tried that
I can't believe he did that
She said she didn't want it
But he still did that
Stick it, push it, yea she felt that
His gratification's more important than her consent
Her goal's to chase a milly, what he did was one cent
Seems like his moral's cheap, evil is what he intends
He ain't even care about her consent
After he did what he wanted to her
He said thanks bitch
He invaded her personal space
He ain't care how she felt about it
He just did it anyway
When she tried to get away
He gripped her harder so she'd stay
He's a predator, she was prey
And he seen his entree
Her friend asked her "what's wrong"?
But she felt ashamed
She felt it was on her, it was all a part of his game
Then she thought about it
She got the courage to speak out about it
She ain't give a fuck what people thought about it
She going to speak her truth and not care who doubt it
I can't believe he tried that
I can't believe he did that
She said she didn't want it
But he still did that
Stick it, push it, yea she felt that
His gratification's more important than her consent
Her goal's to chase a milly, what he did was one cent
Seems like his moral's cheap, evil is what he intends
He ain't even care about her consent
After he did what he wanted to her
He said thanks bitch
She said don't you touch her
He didn't even hesitate
He gripped her so hard that she felt unsafe
She told him to unhand her, he said that's a mistake
He forced hisself up on her to her dismay
He looked at her like steak up on a dinner plate
He treated her just like a toy that's for his own play
He looked at her dress like it's a zone play
Entitled, selfish, bet that's why he ain't respect her private space
I can't believe he tried that
I can't believe he did that
She said she didn't want it
But he still did that
Stick it, push it, yea she felt that
His gratification's more important than her consent
Her goal's to chase a milly, what he did was one cent
Seems like his moral's cheap, evil is what he intends
He ain't even care about her consent
After he did what he wanted to her
He said thanks bitch
The lyrics of Tone's song "Karma" speak to the lasting impact of sexual trauma and the struggle to find healing and self-acceptance. The song captures the emotional turmoil and confusion experienced by someone who has been sexually violated at a young age and continues to grapple with the consequences in adulthood.
The first verse delves into the internalization of trauma, with the singer questioning their worth and feeling damaged by their past experiences. They express frustration at the expectation to present themselves as pure while carrying the weight of their painful history. They wonder how they could be responsible for their own victimization and lament being trapped in a hyper-sexualized identity. The internal struggle becomes so overwhelming that self-destructive thoughts arise, with the person contemplating self-harm or numbing themselves with pills.
The second verse vividly portrays a predatory encounter, detailing how a person manipulates and disregards another's consent. It illustrates a situation where the victim's voice is ignored, as the perpetrator pursues their own selfish desires. The victim experiences a profound sense of violation and shame, believing that they are to blame for what transpired. However, they eventually find the courage to speak out and share their truth, refusing to let other people's judgments silence them.
The repetition of the chorus reinforces the message of the song, highlighting the stark imbalance of power and the lack of concern for consent by the perpetrator. The lyrics emphasize the importance of recognizing that sexual gratification should never supersede the autonomy and well-being of another person.
