About Me

I go by "token". The name symbolizes society's false perception of what makes someone special, and the fact that racism and ignorance are unfortunately still very present today. I don't have some incredible story about how I was born to do this. Like so many others, I just loved the music, and wanted to somehow be a part of it. So I worked hard, but I was blessed with enough skill and determination to get it. I have been messing with music since about '03, but didn't really start composing songs till '06. I do not wish to be like any other producers, but I am heavily influenced by what the masses listen to, because I want to make music for them, not just for me. I think it's wack the way we all hate on the industry and think we are all better than them, but none of us have sold 1 damn record. But, I am also very supportive of anyone working hard, and trying to become better artists... I am currently working in promotions at the number 1 station in Las Vegas, HOT 97.5 - I am networking and perfecting my craft while opportunities come and go, in a great position, and wise enough to know when it's my time. I am being patient and staying humble, get like me...Get MySpace Layouts from nUCLEArcENTURy .COM OR create your own using MySpace profile editor !!!

A lot of people are gonna hate on this list because it shows their flaws as both an MC, and as a person.  Maybe you should be more original and less ignorant and I wouldnt have to make this list....

The day I let YOU tell me what "real" hip-hop is...

I must really love hip-hop to put up with this shit.  People in this game are so ridiculous, and the people not in it are even worse.  On average, I am subjected to hearing negative comments...
