Chicago just showed major love to one of its hometown heroes! On May 23, 2025, Mayor Brandon Johnson officially proclaimed May 24th as Tone Kapone Day in the city of Chicago — and let’s just say, it’s long overdue.
Tone Kapone, a beloved radio personality, media figure, and consistent voice for the culture, was honored with an official city proclamation recognizing his impact on Chicago’s entertainment scene and community. The announcement was made love on air during The Shade Room Live (Tone Kapone hosts the show along side Zach Boog and Keke mayor).
Tone has been a staple in Chicago media for years — known for bringing real talk, good vibes, and major interviews to the airwaves. From his days on Power 92 and Now WGCI. Tone’s voice has helped shape the city’s cultural footprint.
This proclamation isn’t just about radio — it’s about recognizing the influence, consistency, and dedication that Tone Kapone has poured into the city. Whether he’s highlighting rising talent or staying tapped in with the streets, Tone continues to move the culture forward.
So don’t forget — May 24th is now Tone Kapone Day in Chicago. Put some respect on his name!
Big congrats to Tone Kapone — a true Chicago legend!
