Brought together by the trailblazing MNDSGN & a collaboration with Virginia’s T. Hemingway, Tokayo‘s debut effort is laced with seeds of their favorite things: existential humor, universal truths & of course, their love of music. In true hip-hop form, Tokayo flipped the Spanish term “tocayo”–meaning “namesake” or “friend”–as a testament to their values of brotherhood and community. Produced entirely by SWARVY, this self-titled offering is a proper orientation into the magic of the sonic space surrounding Tokayo’s initial recording sessions.
