(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.

(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.
Prayer
tone Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴
I know you wanna baby I can feel it in the air
We can go anywhere you know I don't really care
Niggas tripping over, niggas tripping over there
Block bumping everyday but you can get it anywhere
When I see you baby girl you know I take you everywhere
When it come to you, I never playing fair
Gotta problem with me then you better say a prayer
Knocked her down and she told her friends that shit was fuego
Cut her off, told her keep that shit on the Low low
We can keep in touch, took her number on my phone tho
Money on my mind, I was focused on the main goal
Just another day but every day feel the same tho
Grinding everyday I was trying to get a bank roll
Grinding every day I was trying to make that cash flow
Set it off, get a Glock, cause these niggas really soft
Fuck around with me, fuck around and get dropped
Why you worried about me when your bitch is getting knocked
That's right beat it up and I had that shit on lock
Get away with me let's go somewhere
I know you wanna baby I can feel it in the air
We can go anywhere you know I don't really care
Niggas tripping over, niggas tripping over there
Block bumping everyday but you can get it anywhere
When I see you baby girl you know I take you everywhere
When it come to you, I never playing fair
Gotta problem with me then you better say a prayer
Double up, get the green and run our money up
Party not bumping let me fuck around and turn it up
Second to none I could never be your runner up
Let me take you home I'm really trying to mix you up
Get away with me let's go somewhere
I know you wanna baby I can feel it in the air
We can go anywhere you know I don't really care
Niggas tripping over, niggas tripping over there
Block bumping everyday but you can get it anywhere
When I see you baby girl you know I take you everywhere
When it come to you, I never playing fair
Gotta problem with me then you better say a prayer
The lyrics to Tone's song "Prayer" depict a narrative of escapism and rebellion against societal norms. The singer invites someone to “get away” with them, signaling a desire to break free from the constraints of their current environment. The repeated emphasis on going anywhere and not caring about others’ opinions suggests a sense of disregard for conformity and a focus on personal freedom. Additionally, the mention of people “tripping over” and the idea of getting things anywhere reinforce the theme of living on the edge and embracing a non-traditional lifestyle.
The lyrics also touch upon themes of love and loyalty, as the singer expresses their commitment to taking the person they care about everywhere and never playing games when it comes to them. This devotion is juxtaposed with a sense of danger and defiance, as the singer warns those who have a problem with them to say a prayer. The reference to playing the game and dealing with the same people hints at a cycle of drama and conflict that the singer navigates with confidence and bravado.
The verses delve into a world of hustling and striving for success, with mentions of grinding every day to secure a bankroll and make cash flow. The singer’s focus on money and ambition is juxtaposed with their willingness to mix things up and take risks, suggesting a multifaceted personality who is both driven and spontaneous. The references to partying, getting green, and turning up the energy indicate a desire for excitement and living life to the fullest, even if it means bending the rules or stepping outside of societal norms.
In conclusion, the lyrics of "Prayer" by Tone convey a complex narrative of rebellion, love, ambition, and defiance. The singer’s unapologetic attitude towards taking risks and embracing a non-traditional lifestyle is tempered with a sense of loyalty and devotion to those they care about. The themes of escapism, hustling, and self-assurance are woven throughout the song, creating a dynamic and multifaceted portrayal of the singer's journey towards personal freedom and success.
