Toca

"Wow... It has been a very long time since I've actually been mad that an album ended. There is something totally different, strangely comfortable and freakishly fresh about TOCA. Not only are they amazing artists, but they also seem to have a great time blurring lines, breaking down barriers and building bridges. Wow..." - Rakaa (Iriscience), Dilated Peoples
"TOCA's sound cannot be categorized. It is simply amazing and shouldn't be labeled anything other than phenomenal. There have been very few great bands to emerge from our 'Hip-Hop Generation' but TOCA is definitely one of them." - MURS, Living Legends
"TOCA is like Os Mutantes meets Mothers of Invention meets Freestyle Fellowship at a music academy, yet not. The term 'genre-defying' should not be used lightly, but it is the first term that comes to mind when I sum up TOCA's approach to music and songwriting." - Busdriver
"Having seen the process from Day 1, I'm amazed. I think it's a turning point in Los Angeles hip-hop." - 2Mex, Visionaries/Of Mexican Descent
"TOCA is like Morrissey on Def Jux -- a light at the end of a tunnel." - Pigeon John
"[TOCA's] music is like skimming through the incredibly diverse radio stations jamming the airwaves in their melting-pot hometown, but through some miracle finding only good, solid music that flows together effortlessly. Vocalist Danny 'Xinxo' Rodriguez muses that 'Like many artists in our own little kingdom, we all think we’re going to change music,' but this time he may just be right. The ADD / iPod generation can throw away its Adderall." - URB.com
"[3.5 stars] TOCA is a good album...from a group who isn't afraid to push their own boundaries and challenge their listeners" - okayplayer.com
"[4.5 stars] It is rare that a group can produce an album that is successful in one genre let alone five; TOCA's vibrant 16 track debut will have listeners forging their way to the legendary Good Life in LA to be a part of the magic that served as a key ingredient in the success of this album. What came out of a series of jam sessions in 2001 is a debut that hits on all levels..." - JIVE Magazine
"From quirky indie rock to atmospheric '80s gothisms to double-time hip-hop, this genuinely eclectic CD righteously covers a lot of sonic ground." - Metromix.com
