Tone Trump still actively putting on for the culture and has shown us a blueprint that is undeniable. Not only through music, but through faith, charity, education, fashion and politics. Mastering the logistics of self entrepreneurship all while raising his own family and brand “Muslim Don Family”. West Philadelphia should be proud, with all of the talent and stars it has created in the city of Philadelphia, Trump has shown longevity.
Sock drives, food drives, fundraisers, adopting a village in Africa and more on the way. Building his brand to match his faith, not only has brought others to find their own faith, but has landed him in civil right works to help the black people of America. Showing the diversity and versatility. In a recent interview with Stephen Jackson a quote that stood out was “Love for all, who have love for all”. Similar in a way to Tone Trump’s phrase “Want for your brother, what you want for yourself”.
Fast forward to Sony deals with Cee Lo Green, and all the philanthropic work in Africa, Tone Trump keeps his legacy strong with good deeds and expansion. Becoming a published author, gave Trump a bigger voice for the streets that can reach those in power. Recently dropping 2 new music videos keeping his voice heard on the air ways, I’m sure a project is soon to be in the works.
