Tone Capone, “I Got 5 On It” Producer, Dead At 59
We've lost a genuine architect of West Coast hip-hop with the passing of Tone Capone. If you've ever felt the pull of that laid-back Bay Area sound, the kind that defined a whole era, there's a good chance his production was part of that magic. Fifty-nine is far too young, and right now the hip-hop world is feeling the weight of that absence. For anyone who grew up with that classic '90s rap sound, this one hits different.
From Stereogum: Bay Area rap producer Tone Capone, a man who helped make some absolute classics, has passed away. KQED reports that Capone died on Saturday. No cause of death has been reported. Capone was 59. The post Tone Capone, “I Got 5 On It” Producer, Dead At 59 appeared first on Stereogum.
