About Us

I’m Joye Williams, and I’m a hiphop and culture journalist. I can’t promise that you’ll always agree with me. However, I can guarantee I will cover the topics that affect and entertain the black community with discernment and integrity. If you’re here because you want a change in pace of how you receive CULTURE, stay a while.

What You Can Expect

Culture Tones is here to cover it all. From the policies affecting the black community, to new music releases, my job is to keep you informed. We might even change a few minds here and there.

Hip-hop journalism has become a place of placation and relationships. On this platform, the information guides the content. No matter how uncomfortable, Culture Tones is willing to have the conversation that guides us towards a better understanding of the world around us.
