🔊🥳 Today, May 16, 1975, B.Slade was born Anthony Charles Williams II in San Diego, California. B.Slade once went by Tonéx, and as Tonéx, he released an independent album called “Oak Park 921’o6.” The album is only available through Family Christian Stores, but it is worth the hunt & purchase. This contemporary R&B gospel album has 24 songs, five features, and an overall blessed message to fans: Faith in God, it simply won’t fail you. B.Slade is heavily influenced by music icons Stevie Wonder, Prince, David Bowie, and Janet Jackson—who is also celebrating her birthday today.
