Toki Wright - Simplest Things (Uhuru Dubplate)

Producer: Toki Wright

Album: None (Promo Single)

Label: Soultools/Rhymesayers

As the Presidential candidates debate health care policy to score political points, American citizens continue to die from conditions that could be easily treated if only they had a little extra cash. To paraphrase Black Uhura’s Puff She Puff, the Simplest Things can be “so serious in these times.” After hearing of fellow Twin Cities stalwart P.O.S.’ recent hospitalization due to kidney failure (Click here to peep the artist’s own vlog about his situation), Toki Wright decided to rally the hip-hop community to help his longtime friend and colleague receive the care he needs. This freshly-released promo single finds the Rhymesayers signee flipping a sample of the aforementioned reggae classic to back bars emphasizing the importance of social support—whether de jure or de facto—for those who fall on hard times.

DJ Z DJ Booth Crew Total Ratings: 11676	Rating: DJ Z's Top Rated Songs I am actually just the opposite, Blaze. I don't care much for the sampled production, but Toki's flow and emotion makes the track feel special. Most importantly, though, its for a great cause. Don't just support hip-hop, support human life. Follow @DJBooth
