Welcome to Monotone's space in the internet.
Monotone is an MC, producer, writer, and visual artist from Chicago. He started his artistic journey in 2009 and in 2012, Monotone helped co-found Elephant Rebellion, a hip-hop activist artist collective from Uptown, Chicago. Together with Elephant Rebellion, Monotone has had the honor of touring all over the Mid West performing their own original music while also running workshops for youth and adults alike.
Monotone relates his art to himself before all, focusing on what he knows best. His struggles, pain, moments of reflection, and stories of triumphs are the main ingredients of his writings. Philosophies of human nature, the state of our ever-changing societies, the fluctuating divide of good vs. evil are also prevalent throughout his music. Monotone takes very few things more serious than the lyrics of his tracks and the quality of his art.
