This song serves as a heartfelt tribute to the iconic city legend, producer, and artist Kardinal Offishall. Originally released in 1997 under the ironic title “On Wit Da Show,” this track has left a lasting impact on the music scene. Tona reflects on how the production captures the essence of the original, igniting a sense of nostalgia and inspiration that resonates deeply within him.
As he navigated the many ups and downs of his career, Tona felt compelled to echo the same sentiments of resilience and determination that Kardinal Offishall embodied. The phrase “On with the show!” resonates not just as a title but as a rallying cry for artists facing their own challenges in the industry.
” Two things I’ve learned while maneuvering this music shit, always honor the ones who came before you and laid down the foundation, and not to take constructive criticism from people who have not constructed anything.” Tona
The project is brought to life through the creative direction of Tona (Kwam Jovi), with stunning visuals captured by cinematographers Francis Joey Buan and Anton Deleon. The additional effects by Motion Kitchen enhance the overall experience, making the visuals as compelling as the music itself.
Produced by the legendary Kardinal Offishall, this track embodies a blend of nostalgia and innovation that reflects the evolution of the genre. “OWTS” is now available on all digital streaming platforms, inviting listeners to join in on this celebration of legacy and artistry.
