The second official release from the New North compilation, features the prince of the north, JD Era. Change is a different sound than the typical Era, with it’s positive vibe and smooth production from Soundsmith, mixed in with vocals from Lokz, it shows another dimension of this up coming emcee.

“Change” was inspired by the title of The Real Frequency’s project “The New North”. I feel like this album symbolizes a changing of the guard, passing the torch to those next up from Toronto. Being a young artist and having been fortunate enough to have gotten an early start in this music industry, I felt this was the perfect record to motivate those that want to pick up the mic. At the same time, I’m letting them know that nothing comes easy, so work hard, and believe in yourself.”

Some more heat from Tona, watch for his album SilverSpring Cres dropping this Fall.

Most people live there everyday lives based on routine. Routines are in place to give your life order, structure and a purpose.
Then we have those designated days were the routine has become so monotonous that we will do almost anything to break it just to maintain our sanity. This is portrayed in Tona’s new visual “Break Off” Directed by Tona and Anthony Payne.

Tona continues to bring that “Reality” over Rich Kidd production, with vocal assistance from Richie Hennessey. If you can relate to the feeling of wanting to “Break Off” from any particular attachment…this is your song.

Stay on the lookout out for Tona’s highly anticipated album “SILVERSPRING CRESCENT” coming Fall 2011.
