NEW MUSIC: @isatona ft. @eternia and Torae “Happy New Year”
2012 has come and Tona is ready to take it by storm. Just as the ball dropped to ring in 2012 Tona has dropped his new single with Torae and Eternia. Tona has said that this track is where his mind is at this year and it’s just a track sent out to the universe, not attached to any album or mixtape – basically it’s for the fans. What do you think of it??
xo, @itstanyag

Peep one of his videos from that critically acclaimed album:
These two prove that Canadian talent is and can be very genuine. Keep up the good work guys. Their new album, entitled “Back to Earth” features appearances by King Reign, Tona, and JD Era.
Here’s a sample of that very song for you.
Art of Fresh – Get Money feat. Tona and JD EraAs a whole the album sounds kinda like lounge music to me; and I love to lounge. You could easily put this album on when you’re at a summer backyard BBQ, or just having friends over your loft apartment for apps and drinks recommended by Bella (ICU!).
lmao @ the NYC INTERLUDE

Tona ‘Fast Pace’ feat. Saukrates & T.R.A.C.K.S.
This Canadian MC from Toronto represents for the disenfranchized youth of the Chester Le housing community; a low income housing complex in Scarborough, Ontario. When he first got onto the rap scene it was in a rap group called YOUNG N.A.P.P.S., consisting of other local artists from his old neighbourhood. The name Tona came about because of his distinctive tone of voice, but he always use to compare his lifestyle at one point to the Daytona 500, so he incorporated the two (although he recently changed his name from Daetona to Tona due to fans confusing him with Black Jays affiliate Daytona from the Bronx).Tona’s newest song ‘Fast Pace’ feat. Saukrates & T.R.A.C.K.S. is the 2nd single from the newly released, Direct Deposit LP.
Watch the video for ‘MAJOR’ from the Direct Deposit album:
