Zimbabwe-born, Perth-based Hip Hop Artist T$oko Shares OverKiLL

Prolific Western Australian hip-hop artist T$oko has released a Double A-side, ‘Level Up’/‘6k’, alongside a series of lost files titled OverKiLL. Keen to release the large quantity of music he has been sitting on, the drop is what T$oko labels ‘a prelude’ to his upcoming project.

T$oko details; ‘OverKiLL is a mini compilation/collection of material which I recorded which didn’t make my upcoming project. Over the years, I have been recording tons of music as well as collaborating with some amazing producers and have heaps more to share in the next year or two’.

OverKiLL features production from JuiceBangers (Cobra Music Group), Stro Elliot (The Roots), Willie B (Digi+Phonics – Top Dawg Entertainment) and Dr Dundiff (Jakarta Records).

Hailing from Harare, Zimbabwe, T$oko was destined to confute stigmas associated with impervious cultural restraints and draw on profound exposure from his musically diversified household. Coupled with tutoring of practical music awareness in his formative school years; T$oko became acquainted with an aptitude to write – often harnessing the energy and dynamics of peers who shared this propensity. Evoking honourable recognition among those familiar with T$oko’s music; he is garnered by admirable acclaim as a credible solo artist within the notoriously competitive Perth music scene. Exhibiting spirited determination to connect with his audience on a personal level, T$oko proves his own mastery – eluding conformity of mainstream commercialism and establishing a refreshing uniqueness. T$oko’s approach actively supports and demonstrates equality to all artists, by reassuring abolishment of unnecessary discontinuity rivalled by dissimilar musical interests. He advocates music be devoid of judgement and suppression, instead of instilling and maintaining its rich legacy through existing reciprocation between artists shared affinity for music.
