Prison Stories, Producing for Mozzy, Young Slo-Be & Thizzler ft. 2.Tone | No Guard Podcast Ep. 6

In this episode of the No Guard Podcast, we sit down with 2.Tone, a producer, artist, and creator with an intense story and a crazy journey through both music and real life. From serving time to producing for major names like Mozzy, Young Slo-Be, and Thizzler artists, 2.Tone breaks down his path through struggle, growth, and creative evolution. We talk about his time inside, how prison shaped his mindset, the stress and psychology behind doing time, self-reflection, finding purpose, and chasing excellence in your craft. 2.Tone also shares how he started rapping, nearly gave up music, rebuilt momentum, and learned engineering, mixing, and storytelling along the way. Huge shoutout to HoodRichHudie for joining this episode and giving additional insight into his early music journey, struggles as a young artist, and behind-the-scenes conversations with 2.Tone. This episode is for anyone coming from a tough background, navigating identity, trying to grow out of bad environments, or pursuing music and creativity under real pressure. 150 COMMENTS to bring them both back.
