WELCOME TO THE SHOW

About Me

Born 10/10/78 in San Francisco, Ca. Toog is a proven M.C. repping Rancho Cordova, Ca as well as Northern California in general. Well known in the underground circuit, Toog has performed in numerous freestyle competitions and walked away victorious from almost all. His live performances whether it be freestyle comp or show, is etched in any in attendance memory. His emotion and lyrical tenacity has proven to be his greatest asset and his greatest enemy. Some think his lyrics are too much and cannot be commercially packaged. Toog himself has more than once stated "if your good the money will come, I dont want to be the next rap commercial.....this is hip-hop and i want people to just see the pictures i paint in their head. Afterall..if ya love her , she'll love ya back."

Sounds Like:I have my own unique sound that sets me apart from sounding like any one else. Not to mention that I have an amazing in house Producer (Lefty 2 Gunz) that I grew up with that also has his own sound. With both of us doing production on the tracks (mostly Lefty) we have come up with a new something that fits like peanut butter and jelly.
