Towkio, Secret Special Guest, Vincent + Andrew Luce, Alexander Lewis
To truly understand Towkio, you just need to listen to the title track off his debut album, .WAV Theory. In just eight bars, the 21-year-old rapper from Chicago lays out the thesis of his album by developing his very own theory, which equates how a person controls his or her own thoughts to how the moon controls the waves. "Our thoughts, can shape the Earth/ Our love, can do the same," he sings over a series of sterilized blips and bleeps. "The Earth, controls the moon/ So we, control the waves."
"It's spiritual, definitely," Towkio tells Radio.com of his new album, which he released for free last week, over the phone from Los Angeles. "That's the kind of dude I am though. We have this language that we communicate with, but for a lot of people, music is the only language that really exists. It doesn't have any boundaries, it's all through emotion. I don't have to say anything, but you can feel what I'm trying to say through my music."
