My rapper name is Toke Jesus. I have more personas. I will break down my life. *BEWARE* *Will get personal*
Excluding the dad part (although technically I do have one, I still feel like I didn't), i have the same exact past Eminem and Hopsin had. Bouncing
around, being shy and awkward, bullied, and throwing punchlines, not punches.
I feel as though Eminem is calling to me when he speaks in third person, as if he is my actual father, but through music. And that Hopsin is like my
big brother who tries to protect me from his past, but feels guilty when I still suffer.
With that said, let's get into my take on rap. I use complex sentences, use unusual sentence, but somehow grammatically correct sentence structure. I
use exotic poetic styles and metaphors, as well as wordplay and enunciation techniques. i.e. track drops/tracks drop or can't manage this....not man
enough.
Personality 1: Smoove: The one who thought he was something special. The one that got bullied and got protection in exchange for passing people
through class, people who would no longer even say hello to him when passing in the hallways. Rap Style is sad, dark. Content is bullying, sadness,
suicide.
Personality 2: Toke Jesus: This one came after I jumped off a chair and punched some kid in the jaw my freshman year for bullying me. This is my fake
gangsta wannabe, but is gangsta on the mic. Rap style, thug, hood, violent. Content, boasting, complex rhyme schemes, big words used in amateur ways
but still exotic. Tries to control me most of the time for protection, thus claiming all the tracks.
Personality 3: Illight: This is the one that tries to restore my faith after I asked God to protect me from the nightmares during my stages of
bullying. I had a dream where I called to him, He put his hand out, I went to grab it, he slapped my hand away and I got grabbed my demons. He said
help yourself. Since then I've been atheist, believing only in myself. Rap style, sophisticated, not for low intelligence. Content,
self-righteousness, faith in one's self, perserverance, motivation, hope, enlightenment, illuminate the darkness.
Personality 4: Kevin: his is just me at my core, when you peel back all them onion layers, when I finally discover who I am and how I fix myself
before I spit blood instead of bars.
Link to my soundcloud. I am broke, I have nothing, no producer, no the quality isn't there production wise for most. I apologize, i have to record on
a Galaxy S. Please focus on just the lyrics and the emotion.
