Toki Wright - The Feeling
Artist: Toki Wright
Featuring: Brother Ali
Producer: Brother Ali
Album: A Different Mirror
Label: Soultools/Rhymesayers
Best known as Minne-ap mainstay Brother Ali‘s longtime hypeman and opening act, Toki Wright recently stepped into the Rhymesayers Spotlight with the release of his A Different Mirror LP. On newly-released album cut The Feeling, Toki and Ali join forces to let the masses know just how much hard work and dedication it takes to make rap look easy—as the latter states in the cut’s intro, it’s “...a lifetime thing.” Toki’s expressive, amped up flow shines as he blends witty one-liners (“I’m AT&T—more bars in more places!”) and free-association wordplay over his underground-acclaimed musical mentor’s bouncy, brass-sampling instrumental. Brother Ali’s aggressive, brag-heavy middle bars don’t disappoint, but Wright proves more than able to stand on his own two feet, and his consistently-engaging punchline lyricism accounts for many of this track’s most memorable moments. It’s clear that the up-and-comer’s got what it takes to become an underground sensation in his own right, and those digging his unique brand of lyrical bombast are sure to find more to their liking on his debut studio album, out now.

This is the homey and the mentor. The album is absolutely nuts. I was there for the release/In-Store performance at Fifth Element in Uptown MPLS. Got to freestyle with him and some other emcees on stage. It was off the chains.
This joint goes hard, just like the rest of the album. Y'all really should cop it. It's worth it . I think Toki's national buzz is going to get people really listening to MN hip hop. Good stuff. |

Yo, I'm with BDF44!!! Although I vouch for both men. Son always bring nothing less than his best, and this track makes me want to say the same about Toki. I love this track. Best of the night (not counting the freestyle).
Best of luck to both Toki and Young Son!!! |
