Dial Tone Takes You on a Tour of Tulsa With His New Single “Everyday in Tulsa”
To an outsider Tulsa is just another city in another small market. But what they don’t know is that they have experienced Tulsa more than they think. They’ve experienced the sound of Tulsa. Locked within the bounce and feel of the West Coast sound from funk to rap is the true essence and sound of Tulsa. From the Gap Band who brought to life the bombing of Black Wallstreet on their popular song “You Dropped A Bomb On Me.” To the Daz Dillinger production that has been linked to the many hits of the Death Row Era. Tulsa has created a classic sound that resonates with the music credited as West Coast. Dial Tone is looking to bring this same sound and feel back while showing listeners around with his single "Everyday in Tulsa”.
Dial Tone is an artist from Tulsa Oklahoma who is best known for having a laid back flow that is easy to vibe to but at the same time laced with cryptic similes and metaphors. His belief in ownership shows why he has a love for cryptocurrency, while his ability to create captivating art pieces shows why he is able to create in different mediums.
Denzel Washington said it best on American Gangster when he said, “The loudest one in the room is the weakest one in the room”. These words best describe Dial Tone’s flow on “Everyday in Tulsa”. Dial Tone’s flow is very chill yet powerfully and present, and it’s this presence that gives him the ability to stand out from the beat without overpowering the feel of the track.
Produced by Papa, “Everyday in Tulsa” begins with a high-pitch synthesized piano that can be heard in early Dr. Dre songs like “Nuthin’ But A G Thang”. But a few more seconds in and you realize this is a representation of the new Tulsa “West Coast” sound. As stated before the track has a familiar west coast feel, it’s this same familiarity of Tulsa that Dial Tone uses to take listeners through his everyday in Tulsa, “I exit on 129th, about to see what my brother got up, He tell me if ain't making cash it sucks”. His bars of ownership and staying focused on his goals are intermixed with bars of fast cars and nostalgic mafia lifestyle. It’s these extremes that Dial Tone has learned how to interact with in a city that can dish out as much as you can take. And even though it may not be the fairytale of Ice Cube’s “Good Day”, Dial Tone’s reality is a lot more special because for him it goes down “Everyday in Tulsa”.
