Dark Horse Double is a 2-song album by Sione Toki. 1st track is entitled “My Side”, which is a more pop-sounding record- intended for those who prefer a mainstream feel. 2nd is “You Get It All” which is a laid-back, but rhythmic tune- carries rap-type cadences, and more or less intended for the romantics. Each of the songs are very different in sound and message, but with that, either one was intended to compliment the other.

Beautiful (Reggae Cover) feat. Kiana Saffings

Tink teams up with Chicago-native Jeremih for her latest single, "Don't Tell Nobody" , produced by Da Internz. Two words; summer smash.

Don't Tell Nobody ft Jeremih [Prod. Da Internz]

"Pull Up". A record that I hold as an ultimate achievement & highlight in my pursuit of success in the music industry. Not only because of it's GREAT vibe in composition (provided by AUSSie's own #LECCZBEATZ), but it features a TRUE ARTIST whom I greatly RESPECT, ADMIRE & consider a living LEGEND among us for his accomplishments.. The one-&-only #F1J1. I'm very proud to claim this record as my own, but just as proud to say that I'm not the only one responsible for making it what it is.. a straight up SMAASH haha. Massive SHOUTS to #F1J1 and his team for their skill, as well as #LECCZBEATZ for his craft & the toko #HENELE (graphics/artwork) who is responsible for the awesome "Pull Up" artwork. Last, but NOT least, I thank our FATHER in HEAVEN for his countless blessings- though I do not deserve it, this track being among them. My hope is that you ENJOY the record just as much as we did CREATING it. BLESSAWP my bothers & sisters- 'til NEXT post, #OFAS.

Pull Up

WASSAWP, MY FRIENDS & FAMS?! Again, I come to you with the deepest gratitude & humility for the massive amount of LOVE & SUPPORT I've continued to receive from YOU. I can feel my head gettin' bigger & bigger every day haha- but I try my best to stay GROUNDED & HUNGRY. THANK YOU 10FOLD.

As the seasons change and we've long said "good bye" to the Summer. I've conjured up what I could musically (with the help of #MoMusiq) to create a record that would mesh well with the Autumn time. Not sure how well I've done, but I hope you enjoy the record nonetheless. Ideally, I want my music to speak to you, spark up GOOD feelings, memories & thoughts. If it hasn't or doesn't, then I've failed completely as an artist.

"In The Morning" is a song that simply speaks on the heartbroken. Love ain't always the sweetest thing. When it gets bitter and falls apart, it could leave one lost and confused- many times depressed. I know this, but don't ask me how- I just know haha. Anyway, in this story of a woman in heartache, a friend reaches out to help her through. Relatable or not, you'll know exactly what this record is about.

Segment I:

Good day, brethren & sisters! Hope every one of you are doin' well. As for myself, I've been tryin'a stay on the up n' up musically, as it gets even more challenging with time to stay valid. Seems we're bombarded with so much music these days, it's just that much harder to do so. Although, I mustn't fret because I've faith that there's more than a enough room for me in this cold, God-forsaken industry. Don't wanna seem bitter towards the game that I benefit so much from, but the game does indeed come with stipulations- obstacles that make it hard for someone like me to continue making music for YOU.

Anyhoot, on to the reason you've come. The first and foremost record I have for you is called "My Side". This one was made with the intention to cater to the mainstream audience. My main reason for dabblin' is because I don't do it very often- if at all. I will acknowledge that I carry hints of trendy-esque cadences, words (ig. shawty), instrumentals, etc. However, I never really have taken the sound of which head on. This is a first for me and certainly not the last, I'm sure. Of course, let me know how I did- if you don’t like it, I’ll do better next time.

At the beginning stage of writing, I faced a few challenges in finding what the concept of the song would be. I really didn't wanna sound too generic (which probably would've worked out anyway because that's almost all- if not ALL of mainstream; Generic), but also didn't want to take away from keeping it simple. With those thoughts in mind, I feel I did pretty well in staying within the margins.

You’ll notice the theme for the Dark Horse Double is based on this year's motion picture "Beauty and The Beast”. That’s simply because I liked the movie (although the original was better haha), and thought it’d be a good way to mark the timeframe of the release. I don’t know about you, but certain music can bring back memories (good/bad) of events that took place at the time I heard it. That’s exactly what I wanted to capture with the artwork. Hopefully it actually works- so let me know if it does or not.

As always, please like, re-sound, share and comment with any feedback. If not, just listen & enjoy a few minutes of my craft, then go about your day- if inclined to support financially, follow the "BUY" link! All is appreciated, my dear friends & fam. BiGGTANKS & LOVE.

My Side

Segment II:

Congratulations! Your being here means that you liked the first track of the Dark Horse Double, and are now engaging in the listening of the second and final record.  So I'm glad you're here. Thank you for that.

This time around, I wanted to try something different. Instead of playin' it safe with just a single, I decided to go with a 2-song release. I have many shelved records, but I've found that releasing singles don't leave much room for any of 'em to be unappreciated or unnoticed. I put countless hours into these 3-4 minute songs, and I feel they're better received and even better understood when released one at a time.

People frequently ask if I'm goin' to release an album anytime soon. TRUTH is I have enough of my own music to make up a FEW albums, but I've grown very fond of my current process. Not only that, it's been doin' quite well for me these recent years- so why fix what ain't broken? Maybe I will release an album, maybe I won't. The luxury of being independent (which I know I'm overbearing with the fact, but frankly I don't give a shit) is that I do what I want, when I want & how I want. I pride myself in that freedom. Everybody wanna sign (their life away) to a label because they don't wanna get the work done themselves. I actually do this, NOT just look like it- that's more than what a lot of fellow "artists" can say. More than likely your favorite one.

The reason I bring these points up is because they play a big roll in what you're hearing. "You Get It All", as well as every one of my other songs that you've heard, are brief insights to who I am and what I experience- and of course they're mingled with bits of imagination & creativity. The good, the bad & the ugly, transparent in all my work. The more hands that may become involved with MY music, the more MY music loses its credence, substance and rawness- and I won't have that.

More onto the song itself, the "You Get It All" concept is based on a one-sided relationship. Mind you, all relationships are one-sided at one point or another (least that's what I believe haha)- there's a lot of give & take, as they say. Throughout the song you'll hear that I'm takin' shots at my woman, but I thought it was only right to twist it up towards the end. Even left an unintentional freestyle in the damn thang haha.

That is all for now, my people. I continue to do what I love because of your support. I'm flawed in many ways, but you definitely got a toko stuck in his own grandeur at times, which is not good for the fire, but feels good regardless. Thank you and BLESSAWP 10FOLD.
