Salem, Massachusetts MC Token has made quite a name for himself over the last year. From an incredible collaboration with Joell Ortiz and Snow Tha Product to a show-stopping Sway In The Morning freestyle, the 17 year-old is one of the most exciting MCs to burst on the scene as of late. The best part is, this lyricist has appeared to command every bit of his attention without cosigns, labels, or much else besides raw skill.

Now, Token topically tackles various news stories and cultural trends from recent days in a fervent freestyle. The MC’s rhymes weigh in on bandwagon Prince fans, the disconnect between Drake’s Views sales and critical reaction, the untimely death of Afeni Shakur, and who’s really winning as a controversy thirsty media drinks Beyonce’s Lemonade. He even throws in some words about the man who has the entire nation in a frenzy: Donald Trump.

In this freestyle, Token not only showcases his unique, highly impassioned rhyme style and conversational flow, he places his own experiences and opinions within some of the hot topic items.
