Toki Wright - Hold Me Down
Artist: Toki Wright
Producer: Reggie Reg
Album: Unreleased
Label: Soultools/Rhymesayers
From previous features Out of Nothing and This Right Here to his exclusive DJBooth Freestyle, DJBooth nation has always held down Minneapolis representative and Rhymesayers signee Toki Wright with high ratings, a trend I have to imagine will continue with his new record Hold Me Down. (See what I did there?) It’s impossible to deny the blaze one to this vibe of producer Reggie Reg’s beat, which somehow manages to be both simultaneously banging and mellow, but regular listeners may feel themselves a little thrown off by Toki’s less politically motivated rhymes than usual (“we twist a couple brews, act a fool when we bustin’ loose”) but don’t worry, this is still the same lyrically astute emcee we all know, even if he is in the mood to party and boast. That topical shift is why Hold Me Down didn’t make it onto Toki’s EP BlackMale, but it will appear on his new, currently untitled mixtape, due to drop in November. In the meantime, demonstrate the degrees of your hold-down-ish-ness right now in the comments below.

This Toki Wright record is proof that not every "unreleased" record should be shelved. Most (I'd say 90%) unreleased material is meant to never be heard because it wasn't very good (or near as good as the album's content).
Luckily, Toki knew this record was recorded with the intention for it to be heard - and be heard it shall in the Booth.

Smooth as butter here, real nice work by Toki. Glad the booth got ahold of this unreleased gem, I love the feel on this one.

Not spectacular, not flashy, not over the top but still true hip hop. Nicely done.

Like I said in the intro, this isn't the usual from Toki, at least as far as I know, but I was still definitely digging it. It's a shame summer's coming to an end, cause this would have been a perfect cruising on a hot afternoon joint. Respect.
