Jump to navigation. In a work as provocative and conflicted as anything else the self-contained, multi-instrumentalist producing artist has ever done and this from a gospel star who cursed up a blue streak and condemned a good chunk of the Black church world on the cult classic, The Naked Truth , BSlade enters politically fraught waters at a polarizing time where complication, nuance, internal conflict, and even moderation is perhaps the least appreciated by those on both sides of the political spectrum. However, The Black Belt may be the one that finally causes some of his most progressive and ardent fans to throw in the towel, depending on their political ideology. While aspects will be familiar to Black fans well-versed in pro-Black messaging, just as much, if not more will hit the ear as dangerously regressive as a FOX News rant by an unapologetic white supremacist. Too often these songs suggests that BSlade believes as say a Donald Trump does: that the Black community is more often than not one big crime-filled ghetto solely responsible for the conditions of their own community. But, then again, as many a pro-Black nationalist, he also recognizes Black folks as the creative genesis of the world and descendants of royalty.

Tonex, fast in pursuit of the right ‘Blend’ - The San Diego Union-Tribune
According to a 19th century legend, the Truth and the Lie meet one day. The Truth looks up to the skies and sighs, for the day was really beautiful. They spend a lot of time together, ultimately arriving beside a well. They undress and start bathing. Suddenly, the Lie comes out of the water, puts on the clothes of the Truth and runs away.

February 14, 8 min read. Trusting your creative instincts is one of the most important things any artist can do. But when charismatic singer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Tonex was putting together his fifth and latest major label album, "Unspoken," he ended up succeeding by going against his instincts. Rather than write and record a batch of new songs, he selected 12 recent tracks from some of the nearly two-dozen "underground" albums he has independently released on his own over the past decade.
