It was through a post that was made several years ago on either the fansite Prince.Org, or The Roots’ official website okayplayer.com, that I was first made aware of the artist born Anthony C Williams II, better known as Tonéx……and the demons he slay.

I don’t know very much about this artist, but after looking at his official website, I can tell you that he was born in 1964 and given the name Jepther Washington McClymot.
