Token is a rapper from Salem, Massachusetts. It's hard to explain his presentation. He's good. Immediately that's obvious. His early songs were very technically proficient but a little too clean cut to assimilate with most hip hop. He's mainly releasing music from videos which is not bad, but it gives him a different kind of audience. "Looking like a rapper" is a closed-minded critique, but there are Caucasian rappers that look more like rappers.
Personally, I think his look adds to his relevance. My hope is that Token doesn't confuse being corrupt with being cool. Smoking, swearing, police, and dark themes aren't necessary for rap respect and concepts like "RRN" are acceptance contradictory. His music confidence is impressive, but something makes me question if he can keep his lyric persona in a social situation. Maybe he's as cool as his lyrics, but subliminally theres a different vibe than his lyrics that you can feel.
