Tone Tone of Cash Money Rich Gang reps his hometown of Detroit southern-style with 11627 Gangsta Grillz hosted by DJ Drama, with appearances from Gucci Mane, Bankroll Fresh, Trae Tha Truth, Jazze Pha and more. Original production includes tracks from Metro Boomin, Southside, 808 Mafia DY, Zaytoven, Chophouze and more.

Tone Tone is a rapper from Detroit who debuted in 2004 and experienced some local success with singles such as “I Ain’t Playin’ Witcha” and “What Up Doe.” Born Antonio Henderson in 1984 in Detroit, MI, he attended Finney High School and began rapping at age nine. At age 18 he made his full-length album debut with Skoolz In Session (2004). Released on the local independent label, Wide Open Records, Skoolz In Session spawned the local hit single “I Ain’t Playin’ Witcha,” which was given lots of radio airplay in Detroit. Tone Tone was subsequently signed to a recording contract with Sho Nuff Records, the label of Southern rap producer Jazze Pha, and released a series of mixtapes on his own label.

To help celebrate Tone Tone’s signing to Birdman’s (founder of Cash Money Records) Rich Gang label, the artist grabbed the attention of every big name in the city. Earlier in the week at WhiteHouse Nightclub, a star-studded cast showed up for rapper Tone Tone’s big event. The likes of Brian “Birdman” Williams and Young Thug (RG/YSL), even made a pit stop in the Motor City this past Monday night, but not before adding a few guest to the array of people first. Detroit rapper, Dej Loaf, as well as IceWear Vezzo both came by to show support for the “I Don’t Love Her” rapper. Sounds came courtesy of RJ Lamont and “Mr. 3525″ DJBJ. To top it off, Instagram sensation, Eastside Ivo as well as Hot 107.5 personality, Deelishis, were both listed as hosts for the event. Congratulations to Tone Tone on his recent signing.
