Tone Tank is THE renaissance man, like Steven Seagal without the ponytail. Rapper, bootleg toy-maker, the artist behind Scumlife, politician, sauce guy… this guy does it all.
Musically, as one half of his former group ILLER THAN THEIRS, Tone and his partner Kray released their debut, self-titled record in 2007 with Embedded Music. They followed that up with the ‘Wash, Rinse, Repeat EP’. Tone then released ‘The Black Six Sessions’ and soon after that ‘The King Of Surf Guitar Rap’ which found young Tone rapping all over cool old surf records. Him and Paul Korzan made a crazy video for the title track, that you can see here. After that, he ran for Borough President in Brooklyn. Recently, he showed up for ‘Words From The Boro Prez’ on JUNK SCIENCE’s ‘A Miraculous Kind Of Machine.’ His next music project is an EP with the homie Scott Thorough, entitled ‘Scott & Tone’.
As the artist behind Scumlife, Tone is the founder and soul-controller of the brand. He peddles the freshness at scumlife.com where he also sells his bootleg action figures, including Beast Hombre and Non-Racist Black Skinhead Panthro. In celebration of the new Junk Science album, Tone is hard at work creating more bootleg action figures, this time he’s making Junk Cylons.
Tone Tank is also the man behind the design of this beautiful website that you’re looking at right now.
When I asked him what he’s gonna do next, Tone told me he might start jarring and selling tomato sauce. Which is cool, since his spicy marinara is fucking awesome.
