Samuel Barnes, also know as Red Hot Lover Tone, or simply 'Tone', is a New York based Hip Hop artist and producer (forming one-half of the Trackmasterz duo, along with Jean-Claude Olivier) from the early 1990's. Barnes first made his mark on the East Coast Hip Hop scene in 1992 which saw him release his self-titled debut album and feature on MC Serch's track 'Back to the Grill Again' along with Chubb Rock and Nas. His second album was a huge underground success in 1995 with production from Hip Hop pioneers such as Diamond D, Buckwild and Greg Nice with features from Hip-Hop/Rap heavyweights like The Notorious B.I.G., M.O.P., Organized Konfusion and Big Daddy Kane, artists he has also produced for as a part of the Trackmasterz.
