Straight from Jamaica, T.O.K. has emerged as dancehalls hottest foursome. The band, made up of Alex, Flexx, Bay-C and Craig T, have shown their true strength with their sophomore VP Records set.
The group started out in high school doing R&B covers, and it was only a matter of time before they began to blend hardcore dancehall into their music to create their trademark style. After building a fan base on their home island, the group was recognized in the U.S. with their 2001 debut album, "My Crew, My Dawgs," which peaked at No. 6 on Billboard's Top Reggae Albums chart.
With their new single, "Gal You Ah Lead," T.O.K. has become a crossover hit. The single has re-introduced the group to fans both stateside and abroad, as America's current fascination with dancehall continues to grow. T.O.K. sees it as their duty to continue doing more quality songs that everybody loves to sing because more eyes are on us and the whole dancehall fraternity on a whole," says Flexx. "We hope that our fans will see that we have grown as artists," says Bay-C. "We will be around for a very long time."
