Stockton, CA - “He went into all of Galilee, preaching in their synagogues and driving out demons. Then a man with leprosy came to him and, on his knees, begged him, “If you are willing, you can make me clean.” Moved with compassion, Jesus reached out his hand and touched him, “I am willing,” he told him. “Be made clean.” [Mark 1:39-41]

We all enter this world dirty and need to be cleansed. No one is righteous, but Jesus is eager to wipe our slate clean. Not only that, but He has made a way for us to live holy! We can leave the dirt behind us and move forward as we chase after His glory. Even if we’re in the mud, Christ can make us shine like diamonds!

“He made a diamond out of the mud.” - Nu Tone

Nu Tone is keeping the legacy of West Coast hip hop alive and well on his new album, Mudville Diamonds.

The streets of Cali are a mixed bag of fame, violence, and Jesus followers. It is hard to find a bigger variety of souls than those who reside in the Golden State. When it comes to Christian rap, there are few artists who embrace the West’s musical identity and history more than Stockton’s Nu Tone.

Known as one of the hardest-working emcees in the game, Nu Tone adds to an already impressive catalog with the highly anticipated Mudville Diamonds.

13-tracks of banging 808s and g-funk, Mudville Diamonds is an audio documentary not only of where Tone comes from but of where Christ has brought him to. Liam Bushey crafted a sonically intoxicating score with his incredible production skills. As is the case with every Nu Tone project, Mudville Diamonds keeps the tradition going of showcasing a range of artists from the faith-based hip-hop scene. Features include Kidd Lee, Xay Hill, Godfearin, and plenty more.

If you came up as a fan of golden-era West Coast rap, Mudville Diamonds is the album you’ve been waiting for!

Be sure to add your favorite records from the album to your personal playlist on your music streaming service of choice.

About Nu Tone

Antonio Hernandez, also known as "Nu Tone," was born and raised in Stockton, California. His dad abandoned him when he was three years old. His mother had to work day and night to provide for him and his four siblings. He looked up to the older gangsters as role models and started mimicking their actions. Most of his friends he grew up with are dead or in prison for life. At the age of 16 he started rapping about his new lifestyle and was known as "Filthy Tone." Tone always wanted to make something out of himself. He pursued the fast life of chasing fame, money, and women. He became a promoter along side "Drowzy" a.k.a Arize . They performed their own shows and got paid all around the 209. Trying to mask the eternal void deep inside, Tone would always perform drunk. He became an alcoholic. At night he would sleep with his lights on, because he would have demonic encounters. The last encounter he had scared him straight to Jesus. He gave His life to the Lord on January 29, 2011. Three days after He gave His life to God, Tone had a dream with Jesus that rocked his life. He is now a husband, father, and pastor. Nu Tone is also an urban missionary. He does prison outreach and created an independent label, His Throne Records. Tone has 11 years of ministry. He has songs with V. Rose, 1K Phew, 350, DJ Mykael V, EmanuelDaProphet, Eshon Burgundy, Joey Vantes, Thi'sl, Young Bro Zee, Xay Hill, BigBreez,e GodFearin, Bryann T, Parris Chariz, Keith Wallace, JXHN PVUL, Scootie Wop, Rebekah Renatus, Arize, and many more.
