Tone Capone, producer of Luniz’ “I Got 5 On It,” has passed away

Sad news has arrived from the West Coast. Renowned Bay Area producer Tone Capone has unfortunately passed away at the age of 59. Born Anthony Douglas Gilmour, Tone Capone was best known for producing the Luniz classic, “I Got 5 On It,” although his work stretched far beyond just that one track. Throughout his career, he has produced for a wide array of artists, working on classic joints by  Scarface, E-40, The Conscious Daughters, and many more. He also worked with Spice 1, Devin The Dude, 2Pac, Mac Dre, Dru Down, Celly Cell, Messy Marv, and 3X Crazy, among others.

His contributions to Hip-Hop will not be forgotten.

May he rest in peace.
