Pronounced Toe-Nay showcases the surprisingly diverse skills of Tonex, a rapper/vocalist with Prince-like skills, capable of navigating through multiple musical styles with plenty of charisma, attitude, and personality. In fact, he even goes so far as to separate his tracks into seven sections: hip-hop/rap, retro/funk, the future, jazz, mellow grooves, soul/gospel, and bonus tracks. Of course, just as much acclaim goes out to producer T. Boy, who lays down some truly inventive musical foundations for Tonex to glide over.

He's earned famous fans, including Missy Elliott, and staked a claim for producing a work he calls "a classic of its time. Does Pronounced hold up to its heavyweight rep (and self-styled hype) three years after its original indie release? To answer that question, one had better set aside a good swath of time.
