Token’s “I Was In Hollywood” is a brilliant piece that explores his personal life [Video]
Massachusetts-based rapper Token comes through with the off-kilter visuals for his single “I Was In Hollywood”. The track is as visceral and unfiltered as they come with Token delving into his past and a plethora of events that made him who he is. From his father’s death to his own self-doubts and anxiety Token runs through various emotions and gives the listener a nuanced and somewhat tongue-in-cheek look at his life. He makes use of a moody and gloomy backdrop to paint his vivid imagery filled with dark humor, r-18 references to heartfelt revelations.
The visual is really engaging and follows Token through different scenes that are linked to his lyrics.
