Tonio: From Da Top Talks Investments On New Single “Suicide”
2011 looks like it’s gonna be a busy year for Tonio, with his new label Crown Jewelz Entertainment gearing up to release a mixtape, Top Paper, later this month and an official album, The Grey Area, in the summer. The first taste of all that new material is Top Paper‘s street single “Suicide,” which comes off a little generic at first with its synth-driven Southern-flavored production, but shines thanks to a catchy chorus and Tonio’s unique way with words. It’s not so much that his vocabulary is anything next-level but that his word choice veers just enough to the left of other rappers such that he’s constantly coming up with memorable lines: “I got that pedigree/ That last purchase I made ain’t gon’ do nothin’ but build equity/ You tryin’ to buy Prada, I’m tryin’ to build property/ You need to step your game up, obviously.”
