Dublatone Is Turning Manifestation Into Music—One Release at a Time
Tampa, Florida artist Dublatone (born Antonio Alston) is carving out a lane in today’s music scene with a sound rooted in intention, discipline, and forward motion. Rather than rapping about achievements already secured, Dublatone’s music lives in the grind before the win—speaking directly to dream-chasers who are still putting the work in.
What sets him apart in the music industry
What sets Dublatone apart is his sharp wordplay and a message-driven approach he calls manifestation music. His songs are built for people in pursuit—those visualizing success, pushing through doubt, and willing to bet on themselves. While many artists focus on celebrating wealth and status, Dublatone focuses on the mindset, effort, and belief required to get there, often weaving advice and motivation directly into his lyrics.
The start of Dublatone’s career
Dublatone officially launched his music career on January 9th, 2026, releasing his debut single and committing to an ambitious release schedule—new music every two weeks for the rest of the year. That consistency reflects both his work ethic and his belief that progress comes from action, not perfection.
Trials and tribulations
One of the biggest challenges he’s faced as an artist has been learning to stop overthinking and simply execute. That philosophy now defines both his creative process and his message. “The only person that can hold you back is yourself,” he explains. “Life is like a car—you control the wheel, and you’ll only go as far as you take yourself.” That mentality resonates strongly throughout his catalog.
Currently, Dublatone is promoting two newly released singles, “Smooth Criminal” and “Bob Marley,” while building momentum toward his upcoming mixtape, Monkey Bars, set to drop in March. The project will feature 8 tracks, with three additional singles releasing beforehand. After the tape drops, Dublatone plans to continue his biweekly release schedule leading into his next mixtape, Manifestation, expected later in 2026.
What’s next
Looking ahead, Dublatone envisions himself not just as a well-known artist, but as the founder of a seven-figure clothing brand built on the same principles as his music. His long-term goal is impact—motivating hundreds of thousands of people to chase their dreams through both his sound and his brand.
With consistency, clarity, and purpose at the core of everything he creates, Dublatone is proving that manifestation isn’t just a mindset—it’s a practice.
