Häzel X TFOX - We Shall See ( Instrumental )

After releasing the full-length “Weekends” in 2020 (released via Wicked Wax in Amsterdam), a string of singles, collaborative projects, and EPs in 2021, Jonny Tobin releases another full-length solo album “Together” to kick off 2022. Facing isolation and loneliness (as many people in the world did throughout 2020), the album is a collection of tracks that Jonny made to channel negative feelings into something hopeful and forward-looking.

While the album was created without any other collaborators, many of the tracks on the album relate back to an experience that personally inspired Jonny, or to a connection with someone else. “Take Your Time” was an evolution of a Masego remix contest submission from the summer of 2020 (while Jonny didn’t win the contest, he received a memorable shoutout from Masego on Instagram). On “What I Didn’t Do”, Jonny features a clip from friend and fellow musician William Chernoff speaking about unrealized potential and some of the negative self-talk that can hold people back. “Vivid Dreams” also features vocals by way of a chopped lead vocal from the Jonny Tobin-produced track “Mars” by Janette King. Closing off the album is the introspective track “Leonidus”, which was born out of a beat Jonny created for Loop Sessions, a monthly beatmakers hang. The track expanded into a tribute to Jonny’s friend Leonidus Edwards who passed away suddenly in 2021.

“Together” represents Jonny’s response to all the tragedy, despair, and grief of the past 2 years - holding space for those emotions but also seeking to provide glimmers of optimism with an almost playful delight, as the compositions encapsulate his bright outlook on the world.

"Enjoy Tonight" Feat. ScienZe prod. by King I Divine

Rrrright! I’ve been working on The Hustlers Catalog for a minute and I’m very excited for you all to hear it. I was blessed to work with some talented producers and artists and I hope that you all love and appreciate what we’ve cooked up.

T.H.C. was a more personal project for me and it gave me an opportunity to touch on certain subjects that I’ve been through in life, which I’m sure many of you have been through as well. - DZA

Again, I appreciate you all. Enjoy!

Everything is everything

I wrote this song in 2003. I was 23 years old. I'd been living on my own for 4 years and loving Brooklyn. I would go to The 5 spot on Myrtle Ave for open mic night. There were these 2 beautiful women who would sing there, Anisa & Augi. When I say sing, they RIPPED IT DOWN. When I linked w/ Substantial's crew and began recording what would eventually become my debut album, I asked both Anisa and Augi to help me talk about my borough on this track prod. by Algorythm.
Ultimately, this song didn't make the album and my name changed from ILL TARZAN to Fresh Daily. I moved from Ft. Greene to Bed-Stuy. Substantial moved back to Maryland. Algorythm took a hiatus from production for design. Things change, people drift apart. I'd see/speak to Augi, Anisa, Algorythm and Substantial significantly less.....

In January 2012, we lost Anisa to cancer. I never even knew she was sick. I found out while in a studio session with her high school friend, Om'mas Keith who told me she passed. Shocked and stunned, I couldn't believe someone so full of life and talent was gone.

Anyone who knows me knows that while music is my life, it's my escape oftentime so I'm not really personal in my music like that. (Probably another reason why this song has stayed hidden in my iTunes for so long)

Recently, while lamenting and reminiscing simultaneously on FB on how NYC and Brooklyn have changed exponentially and waxing nostalgic about how things were, a friend suggested I put more of these"last-of-the-mohican" type rants in my music. I immediately thought of this song. Anisa's Birthday just passed on July 14th. As her voice popped up on this track (I havent listened to this song in probably 2 years) I immediately decided to post this song online.

Enjoy.
Rest in power, Anisa.
Brooklyn Forever.
