For those of you who don't know, Tonedeff started RhymeArena.com for audio and pioneered EmceeBattles.com with Alexis and Jeff (the RM admin Janitor). All of the early NYC-scene footage of Jin, Immortal Technique, Diabolic, Many Styles, etc were all personally captured by him and uploaded to the internet.

Essentially, he helped to usher in the modern era of Grind Time, KOTD, etc of battling for internet exposure.

Back when the "audio side" of RapMusic.Com was called "Rhyme Arena" and the very first GRB popped off and dudes was using REALAUDIO or .RA files for their audios.

Tonedeff, Zarbon Spitwell (K.P.), Goku, Spectata, Session, Mental, XPOONDIGGY, BruvaG, Calliz, Nimrod (when he was still doing rap and online battles / way before directing), ect.

Tonedeff battled in the GRBs versus Kronic Plague (Zarbon Spitzwell) the same guy that battled QP on GT
