Toka Fly – Fed Up

Led by inspired words from the great Martin Luther King Jr., “Fed Up” sees Toka discussing the death of George Floyd, the worldwide #BlackLivesMatter protests and the historic black wall street. It is, in fact, the black wall street reference that is the song’s most powerful moment as Toka raps:

Who was this concerned when a hundred died on black wall street?” followed by intentional silence at 1:39 of the song driving home Toka’s point that while George Floyd’s death may very well be a historical tipping point, #blacklivesmatter wasn’t always something people stood for in principle or practice.
