By the time Tony Toni Tone released 1993's SONS OF SOUL, they had perfected a contemporary R&B sound that sharply blended hip-hop, soul and funk. Featuring a core trio made up of brothers D'wayne and Raphael Wiggins along with cousin Timothy Christian, this Oakland group stood out from the pack because of the individual members' reliance on their impressive instrumental range combined with judicious use of samples.

Songs like "I Can't Keep It To Myself" and "Gangsta Groove" melded hip-hop rhythms with a soul-jazz spin while "Slow Wine" and "Anniversary" work a quiet ambiance that demands silk sheets and champagne. Although these latter songs hint at a group that wears romance on its sleeve, "My Ex-Girlfriend" and "What Goes Around Comes Around" use crackling rhythms and irresistible grooves to vent frustration over relationships gone wrong. Wrapping up this diverse rhythm and blues package are "Leavin'" and "If I Had No Loot," two tracks bristling with crisp guitar licks and punctuated by Raphael Wiggins' soulful soprano.
