PITTSBURGH, PA. — Tone Fultz is making his mark as both a producer and a hip-hop artist under his alter ego, Messiah of Madness. Ahead of the Halloween release of his new full-length album, Wealth, Weaponry and Power, his single “Talk to Um,” featuring Wu-Tang Clan affiliate Solomon Childs, reached No. 47 on the iTunes Hip-Hop chart.
Fultz’s music has also received radio support, including rotation across Shade 45 platforms. But airplay is only part of the story: his hard-hitting boom-bap sound has helped bring his independently released music to the charts.
During the week of November 1, Wealth, Weaponry and Power debuted at No. 181 on the iTunes Hip-Hop chart, alongside releases by established artists including 50 Cent and Drake. For an independent artist, charting in the same space as major hip-hop names marks a notable moment in the album’s release.
