In 2001, before my introduction to CunninLynguists, there was Tondeff and his classic track, "Spanish Song". This "discovery" of Tonedeff eventually led me to the Qn5 label & CunninLynguists' debut album, Will Rap For Food. Back then Qn5 was one of the very first labels to amass an internet following and at the forefront of that was Tonedeff. Take a listen to the track below.
