All things amazing. All things Tufawon!! If you don't know, learn. He is amazing!

Tufawon 🔥

Care Package is a self produced song where Tufawon brings you to a place of romance, but a different kind of romance. Something long distance, and although there is a crush being developed between him and another special soul, the strength behind this scenario is really fueled by friendship. Being so far apart practically forces them to learn about each other before any in person passion blossoms, and so they begin sending each other Care Packages in the mail and learning about each others personalities in the most genuine way, with the hopes that they will meet in person and truly hit it off.

Care Package

Anywhere is a summer time kick off vibe that really brings you to a place of feel good bliss. The three rapper/singers vocalize over a smooth lofi beat produced by Tufawon himself. We can imagine these uplifting vibrations Anywhere and the location really doesn't matter simply because the song we lift you in this way wherever you happen to be.

Featuring Jada Lynn and Princess Laya, The Recipe showcases a multitalented trio of mixed Indigenous artists that vibe out on a summer track that will inevitably give you the urge to dance. The feel is like a July beach party somewhere in a tropical climate with bass heavy music playing. Imagine the dance floor lit with attracted souls opening their hearts to each other in a passionate night of rhythmic synergy.

New single "Solstice 2" by rapper/producer Tufawon from his upcoming album "The Homecoming" produced entirely by Sevadar Sehaj. 

In his recent return from his travels in Latin America, Tufawon has been busy recording the follow-up to "The Send Off", a six song album themed around gaining a global perspective through his international travel experiences. The Homecoming represents the warmth of returning to his hometown, Minneapolis as it transitions into summer and him becoming grounded again with new ideals and stories that influenced his personal growth.

This is the first track featured on Tufawon's new monthly single project Dream Release. Every last Friday of each month he will be releasing an exclusive single. He has been keeping a dream journal for the past several months, and the songs are themed around the dreams he logs. Some are literal translations, and some are simply influenced by the energy of any given dream. Some of them are even related to his day dreams. Step inside the mind of Tufawon as he shares a side of himself that would likely be forgotten without this journal. Through his art, he preserves his visions.

His first release Could It Be? Is about a dream lover. She visits him in the dream world, and the ambiguity of this experience leaves him questioning whether it's real or not. Is his spirit communicating with another from opposite sides of the world? Is this love from a past life or the future? Or is this all a figment of his imagination? He gives the listener a deeper poetic reflection in this spacey love song he produced himself.

There isn't exactly a concrete concept to Cinnamon. It's a fun song to cruise to. It's a vibe to appreciate recreational activities to. It's an energy that touches on some minor frustrations but ultimately focuses on enjoyment through our senses. Those pleasant sounds, sites, colors and smells that bring you to an uplifting place. Tufawon laces vocal melodies and harmonies over this bass heavy and bouncy beat he produced himself. Enjoy some Cinnamon while listening his to his most recent Dream Release single.

LONG BEACH feat. Hello O'shay & Alex Banin

Recorded in 2017. Released in 2020. Gunner Jules, 

Lyrics:
Open your eyes you might see a little clearer. 
You can't see what's going on, inside my mind, 
behind these doors but over time I might let you in. 
But, I don't think anyone will know my secrets, 
unless when I'm recording my homies leak it. 
You hear it in a distance. 
Ill still make you sing along,
got you wondering bout my vision. 
On a mission, on a mission. 
You heard my shit before, got me wondering and thinking. 
If I make off this Rez, can I get people to listen? 
I wonder, will they feel me. 
If I make it to that point will I even care?
If I get up out this joint will I even care?
Everyone that I loves still living back there, 
I guess I gotta.. I guess I gotta 

Chorus:
Bring you all with me, I'll bring you all with me.
I promise that ill give you my all.
Just promise if I fall you won't judge me, won't diss me.
Trust me Ima get some shit wrong. 
just Come along with me, I'll bring you all with me. 
I promise that I'll give you my all. Just promise if I fall,
You won't judge me, won't, won't judge me, won't 
Won't judge me, won't 
Just come along. (long long long long long long)
Just come along. (long long long long long long)
yea,
I was always taught to give and always told to not give up, 
I always chose to live but never chose to always live up
to the expectations, Cuz our expectations on 
this rez we all distant from the separation .
But we still hear. wishing for our pasts to repeat,
Not all of it, we can cut out the past couple centuries 
and live in peace and harmony with the earth for eternity, 
but we can't 
so we stay connected to her eternally, You get it?
If not just go ahead and forget 
while we go ahead and lay up in these graves you been diggin. 
For centuries my people suffered, told to leave where they livin,
No chance to flee we bleed repeating all the lockouts and sit-ins.
And we still are today, after bein, slaughtered across the plains,
and our lands, taken they claimin..our water across the plains
our sons and daughters being taken being fostered by someone strange
not to mention our women going missin, the crooked prison systems, boarding schools to extract our spirit and forced religion. 
But, even there's says. Man don't rule people, 
earth and all creation including us we're all equal. 
We're all equal, earth and all creation including us we're all equal. 

I Guess I gotta
 
Chorus:
Bring you all with me, I'll bring you all with me.
I promise that ill give you my all.
Just promise if I fall you won't judge me, won't diss me.
Trust me Ima get some shit wrong. 
Just Come along with me, I'll bring you all with me. 
I promise that I'll give you my all. Just promise if I fall,
You won't judge me, won't, won't judge me, won't 
Won't judge me, won't 
Just come along. (long long long long long long)
Just come along. (long long long long long long)

COME ALONG - Gunner Jules

Cherry Blossom is like a warm and blissful dream of spending time with the people you love, or the people you've only met via the internet. The quarantine period created a space for many people to meet on social media. Over a Lofi Hip Hop beat produced by Eric Godlow, Tufawon expresses his yearning daydreams about visiting beautiful places and meeting his new online supporters in person. Touring is one of his favorite parts of his musical journey, and this pleasant song takes you to a warm, peaceful, and calming place.

Hard For Me

Russ - Hard For Me

Tufawon is like an unfiltered newsfeed as he showcases the most blunt and eyeopening lyrics that spotlight the corruption of the so called United States, corporations and the oligarchy that continues to plague our communities. Over an aggressive trap beat produced by Andre Mariette, Tufawon doesn't hold back with his sharp lyricism aimed motivating people to rebel against a system that doesn't represent the people.

They Lie

Tufawon is deep in a workflow and has been at it for a while. As much as he wants to continue on, he is tempted to hop a flight to a warm place near the equator and enjoy some leisurely activities with a special lady who is persuading him with her charm. A distraction? Likely. But a break from the constant production would be well deserving and Tufawon can't help but look at the next flight out. Over a chill guitar sample, his self produced track will take you to a place of relaxation and warmth.

Temptation

Tufawon is a Dakota/Boricua hip hop artist, singer and producer from Minneapolis. His name represents his mixed identity, and his music is a reflection of his life experiences, hopes and dreams for the future, spirituality, love, and the realities of the world. A common vibe in his music is humor and lighthearted, fun songs. The underlying message in his music is always connected to freedom.
