As providence would have it, Tone was riding in a police car to a courthouse one afternoon... Single-parent home, gangs, drugs, crime, prison and no way out but death. While it may sound like the makings of a classic 90’s inner-city film, it was the dark reality Brothatone faced growing up.

Toney Frazier, better known by his stage name Brothatone, was born and raised in the projects of Arkansas.
