This man said “ it’s fucked up when you missing your girl more than your pops.” That’s insanely honest and I felt it in my core, this was one of the best freestyles I’ve ever listened to.
My dad had cancer spreaded to his brain but didn't die from it, instead he died from COPD. So he survived the fking cancer and chemo therapy. Since he had a serious heroin addiction, , No badussy neither.. He introduced me to oxy.. normally it's strictly for severe situations, So that's fucked up family relations, with a fucked up inher(o)itance. But still loved him to death. nuff said@@GsQDoom
I felt that hard asf! My pops died and my x fiancé died! They both overdosed but I miss Nikki Rose rip more than my pops cause pops wasn’t in my life she loved me more than anyone in the entire world! 😭💔
Hard to describe how crazy this was. 10:40 nearly brought me to tears, Token's hunger and energy are omnipresent in his craft. Loved this shit, hope he's doing well.
dude, its been a year since you commented this but I can't help but agree so much, guy is incredible and his drive, ambition, lyrics and heart hit me deep down in my soul
His ability to relate his bars to real life while maintaining the flow, rhyme, and word play is astronomical. I’m truly blessed to be alive for talent like this.
B Wells you said it so beautiful.. i have the same feeling. Follow this man around 5 years and its amazing what he is showing us.. Cant wait what will happen 2 him! A man on a mission 💥🤯
Nah man that build up and drop at 10:40 was insane. Got chills the first time I heard it. Token rode that beat so well that it sounded like an actual song instead of a freestyle. 🔥
@@haze_ns The original is called "The Ecstasy of Gold (L'Estasi Dell'oro)" from the soundtrack of The Good, The Bad and The Ugly. Absolutely classic and for good reason!
"All I ever wanted was OG to say that I'm ill" was probably one of the hardest cadence transitions I've ever heard he hit that on the nail and after what he just finished saying in his previous bars it just hit so hard emotionally to. Pure art this man can make u feel every emotion he's feeling and paints every picture in your head like it's your own memory
It's not even fair the level that Token reaches. His passion is absolutely intoxicating. It's overwhelming. He has such control It's beyond understanding. So fantastic. He deserves ALL the credit.
That was a masterclass in how to rhyme…not rap…rhyme…so much emotion and passion…it’s like you feel his pain when he’s talks about his personal life but then you feel his joy when he flipped it into a positive story…standing ovation
9:15 - 11:45 gave me chills. One of the greatest storyline freestyles, with the beat switch at 10:40. holy smoke token. “Im leavin here a legend cus I kno that’s how I entered, You leaving here a joker, we should call you heath ledger”
What he said at the end is so true and I'm so glad he said that. Token this was probably one of the best and emotional free styles I've ever watched and I'm trying to learn everything I can from you because wow I've listened him for years and this completely blew my mind. I aspire to be a 10th of this man
Turtleneck guy is so right!! So many people are just struggling for words to fit the beat but for ten minutes he used the beat like a well known tool to craft a beautiful piece! Super emotional and personal, and inspirational!
Even knowing what beats are coming next … the way he changed flow on each one and hit all the tempo changes is sooo difficult as a musician. So much respect
Jesus,this one had me sit still in my car in complete silence for several minutes.Going from chills to beeing teary-eyed,I wasnt prepared for this one.
Music, man.. nothing like it. People always used to heal with sound. The giant 100 foot tall organs in cathedrals.. can only imagine the sound they make.
He will never just fall off. The passion is entirely too intrinsic. No matter what happens, thanks also to Sway for continuing to give him such an unbiased and diplomatic platform, and Toke, thanks for never letting us down. Your talent is beyond measure my brother.
even when he gets shot in the vocal cords and gets early onset alsheimers? youll be sh*tting on him and his memory cuz you think falling off is a thing
@@KOSTLthepupil he should dress like he just got out of prison and should talk about gvns, v!olence, mvrder, drvgs, promiscuous unprotected sx and spending superfluous on material objects. That would make him hip hop like Snoop, Dre, Ice Cube and Biggie, right?
For real. I went to see him on his first tour, and it was like a small underground bar that could barely fit 20 people, let alone the 100+ that showed up. It was super cool, it felt more like a house party than a concert tbh. One of the best shows I've ever seen 😎

Dude these comments are amazing. It makes me so happy to see people recognizing Token and his rise. I’ve been listening since Doozy and somehow he just keeps getting better and better. Don’t ever stop Token because you’ll literally be one of the biggest names in rap, and you’ve earned every second of it
Man, this dude is so passionate and capable. The control, and the writing talent, all disregarding his incredible memory. He's master fuckin class. Period.

@@HorizonHipHoppre written freestyle over random beats. No, not off the dome freestyle, but honestly there's only 2 people I know who legit do off the dome freestyles and one is dead and the other is Harry Mack. For a prewritten freestyle over 10 random beats, this is F'in amazing
8:05 has to be some of the craziest shit I've heard. For him to be able to just adapt to the next beat so effortlessly is just insane. And that flow is nuts. Congrats my guy - you topped your last Sway appearance by a MILE. How?? I don't even know - incredible.
I've never actually been jaw dropping stunned bro.. holy fuck man pure talent.. you started spittin about your pops and that shit hit hard man.. so much respect and love .. so glad I got to meet a legend like you back in 2017-18.. you don;t remember me but I'll never forget you bro
The end segment made me cry , the hunger , the pain , the way he sat up adjusted the headphones and hoodie and finished that shit like mortal kombat.. tss
DUDES ABSOLUTE ON FIRE im on sum seriously heavy meds cus off a opiod addiction so i NEVER feel anything at all..THIS DUDE MADE ME FEEL !! i didnt know how much i missed it
Stick with it brother. It's hard AF but it's always better to be off that life wrecking shit than to have it making all the problems worse. Been clean ten years and have had a lot of Bs happen still but I'm happy to say im dealing with it without that shit
Just pure fucking passion, very hard to not respect! Not a huge fan of his studio songs but any time he taps into a radio freestyle I'll always tune in
The talent that he has is amazing. The best part, anyone that respects and knows legends of rap hears the influences coming through all his lines. He recognizes the beats of the classics too and adapts every time. This guy deserves more songs with legends who still make music because I fully believe that he pays homage to them which is rare. I grew up on rap and hip hop and for as young as he is he is pretty amazing for the catalog that’s in his head. Eminem, Busta, Nas, and so many others this guy deserves the chance to be on a song with y’all. I would love to hear just for the sheer point of what the collaboration would bring. For proof, just look what him and tech did together.
The emotion in spitin is what can really grab an artist. Someone that has done it and know what it takes to convey your words like that, bring them to life to where the people not only listening but watching really feel those lyrics aka(emotions). That's an artist!!! RIP to your pops, keep ya head up
Bro just spaaaaazzzed that was wild. He dam near hit every beat perfectly. People don't realize how difficult that is and how talented you have to be. That was beyond superb
Listening to the entire freestyle was insane I honestly was super engaged the entire time the amount of emotion and everything put into that is amazing!! Hearing your voice and passion and frustration about it all was electric! Not many people have that effect I felt all that man can only imagine the stress you been threw bro true fans still got your back.
When you study hip hop and create a legacy of your own, that is Token.....period! He should be way bigger than what he is. I watch alot of these Sway freestyle videos and I can say Token just hits different. Like dude says, when he raps he paints a vivid picture. You can see what he is saying. You can feel when he draws from hurt and happiness. Hip hop is not just escape for him. It's his passion. It's his legacy on pen and pad. 👏👏👏
I remember watching old ye with his painting of how he actually visually sees the beats, when he was still that unstepped on China white.. making addicts outta earful, tweakers from musical theater, fiends foaming over hip hop dreams... real 1s like em making sure Kendrick was writing ✍️ his own rhymes, giving him option to just do chorus or pen 🖊 verse at Detroit studio and em kicked everyone out of room besides those 2 legendary players of words.. much respect 2 token.. can't wait 2c him at shelter in the D.. same place where 8 mile was filmed
I like Tokens music but I absolutely love his Sway freestyles, no-one does it better. I just wonder why he can't capture this magic in a commercial song he releases, perhaps it doesn't translate?
@@harrysyoutubing I feel his releases are great from a studio standpoint. Every artist has stated that there is clearly a difference between industry hip hop to street/raw/underground hip hop. His releases get played through media outlets like Spotify, Iheart radio, etc. Token has a raw grit and reality to his music that while we may all enjoy it, the media heads say we can't play this on MTV or bet but we can ensure he get x amount from streams. Sucks when you look it cause I'm pretty sure I haven't heard a Token track on the radio and there is absolutely no reason why not. So if your not feeling the same energy from his releases vs his freestyles....maybe that could explain or provide some insight
This is just absolutely disgusting 🤮🤮 I don't understand how people watch stuff like this and not respect it. Dude is a young legend. The wordplay, the cadence changes, the ability to ride and murder a beat. Phenomenal. 🙌🔥🔥🔥
It’s cuz he’s white doesn’t fit the narrative not a gangster wannabe like the rest of the white boy rappers is lyrical smart and can flip words not many ppl on the mic for real no more with something to say so he’ll be held back for life he don’t fit in the mold he’s gotta make his own
FACTS. I can’t believe the amount of people I see calling token a clone, corny & trash. Like man are you even listening? Kid is one of the best young rappers out rn by FAR. 🔥
Gotta respect it but the thing I don’t understand is why there’s more respect for written than freestyles off the dome which seem to be nonexistent anymore

This man is an insane performer, i've been to his show in 2023 in West Chicago, and you can see in this video how amazing of a performer he is while rapping at the same time. So much respect to him, gonna be listening to him forever.
This is the Token I became a fan of in the first place, with this style of ambitious technical display with the cadences, rhyme schemes and wordplay but still deep and passionate at the same time. He kinda toned down his rappity-rap style recently but this freestyle reminded me of the lyrical prodigy that I fell in love with in the first place with songs like Doozy, Mass Reform, No Sucka MCs, Waist Down (Extended Version), Flamingo, etc..., and even the previous two freestyles he did on Sway when he made one of the co-hosts cry in the first one and playfully dissed Sway's mic in the second one, way to go, Token, love the freestyle
I was never a Token fan but this was very impressive. Catching every beat, switching flows and cadences. Even when there was a hiccup in the beat around 8:15 he was still able to recover like a true professional. Respect!!
Those are some amazing intros, his brand new one called crybaby hits hard too, very similar to his song code red (older but preferred plus an amazing vid) plus his song with JID was pretty great too but not at the top of the list for sure lol
That was super emotional and masterful lyrciscm wrapped in one. I listened to it 1st then after watched you perform you're a gift, appreciate you sharing Token. It's very apparent you've grown and sharpened the blade. WOW, JUST WOW.

I love how there’s no talk of him “being off beat” like there was from his first 9 min flow on Sway. He’s sharper than ever. Lethal. Clean. Growing into greatness. Good job, T;)
Damn, I was just trying to do cardio on the stair stepper and just about busted into tears. That shit was delivered like no other. Hats off, you gained a supporter.
I just love the way Token raps. He can go for 3-4mins rapping about nonsense that sounds awesome then hit you with 3 lines that really hit hard and completely change the tone of the song/freestyles/whatever he's on. Truly an artist. Edit: Wrote this comment 8mins in started crying at 10mins. Powerful stuff
This was something else ! All the best Token. Your father is proud of you man, i bet my life on it . I almost cryed when he start rapping about the most fucked up year of his life and how he enter the beat on the end of the video ... God keep this man in the game !

Not many people have that effect I felt all that man can only imagine the stress you been threw bro true fans still got your back.
11:22 pocket finish and switch with him slapping the table on beat shows the fucking undeniable presence, pure talent bro god damn
I have absolutely no words for this.. this is genuinely unlike I've seen. He put his everything into it. Nothing but respect, wow.. 🙏🔥
His freestyles are always crazy. Knew this was gunna be crazy when I clicked on it
Big facts!
Hate to be that guy but that aint no freestyle 👀😂
@@gerrymcpike5787then what is it? Cause I know what prewritten verses sound like and look like 😂
You mean his written rhymes? There is no freestyle here.
@@josephk6136 bro can't read
When you study hip hop and create a legacy of your own, that is Token.....period! He should be way bigger than what he is. I watch alot of these Sway freestyle videos and I can say Token just hits different. Like dude says, when he raps he paints a vivid picture. You can see what he is saying. You can feel when he draws from hurt and happiness. Hip hop is not just escape for him. It's his passion. It's his legacy on pen and pad. 👏👏👏
I remember watching old ye with his painting of how he actually visually sees the beats, when he was still that unstepped on China white.. making addicts outta earful, tweakers from musical theater, fiends foaming over hip hop dreams... real 1s like em making sure Kendrick was writing ✍️ his own rhymes, giving him option to just do chorus or pen 🖊 verse at Detroit studio and em kicked everyone out of room besides those 2 legendary players of words.. much respect 2 token.. can't wait 2c him at shelter in the D.. same place where 8 mile was filmed
verbal dysentery
Well fucking said 👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽
I like Tokens music but I absolutely love his Sway freestyles, no-one does it better. I just wonder why he can't capture this magic in a commercial song he releases, perhaps it doesn't translate?
@@harrysyoutubing I feel his releases are great from a studio standpoint. Every artist has stated that there is clearly a difference between industry hip hop to street/raw/underground hip hop. His releases get played through media outlets like Spotify, Iheart radio, etc. Token has a raw grit and reality to his music that while we may all enjoy it, the media heads say we can't play this on MTV or bet but we can ensure he get x amount from streams. Sucks when you look it cause I'm pretty sure I haven't heard a Token track on the radio and there is absolutely no reason why not. So if your not feeling the same energy from his releases vs his freestyles....maybe that could explain or provide some insight
Hoooooly fuck I’ve never seen such an eloquent story told in the form of freestyle 🤯
This is just absolutely disgusting 🤮🤮 I don't understand how people watch stuff like this and not respect it. Dude is a young legend. The wordplay, the cadence changes, the ability to ride and murder a beat. Phenomenal. 🙌🔥🔥🔥
It’s cuz he’s white doesn’t fit the narrative not a gangster wannabe like the rest of the white boy rappers is lyrical smart and can flip words not many ppl on the mic for real no more with something to say so he’ll be held back for life he don’t fit in the mold he’s gotta make his own
First time reading this along I thought it was heading somewhere else.
But glad you’re not a hater Token pink is better.
FACTS. I can’t believe the amount of people I see calling token a clone, corny & trash. Like man are you even listening? Kid is one of the best young rappers out rn by FAR. 🔥
@@MillzyGames so true. But he needs to networks more get his name in ppl’s mouths and bigger audiences.
Gotta respect it but the thing I don’t understand is why there’s more respect for written than freestyles off the dome which seem to be nonexistent anymore
That’s probably the best freestyle I’ve seen to date. Huge applause for the WORK & HUSTLE Token has. WOW!
I agree best freestyle FROM HIM. But to add on it. He killed the beats. But also how emotion was on point when delivering bars.
You haven't seen Harry Mack then. Harry Mack is the best freestyler on the planet. No competition not even close. And I love token to the core.
@@Freddy1- hear me out real quick… Im just tryna get my music heard I Think I got potential to make it fr if u have a minute check out my music and let me know what you think 💯
This Might Go Unnoticed But Im NOT A Bot like Most the Comments here .. If You Got a Minute my music Is fire FR I just need to be Heard you wont be disappointed🔥
@@timetokillslapp - You just compared THIS freestyle from Token to a Harry Mack freestyle. Lol.
This man is an insane performer, i've been to his show in 2023 in West Chicago, and you can see in this video how amazing of a performer he is while rapping at the same time. So much respect to him, gonna be listening to him forever.
Dude this guy is a legend. And first time I ever heard of him. Sickest freestyle 2023 and doubt he gonna get touched
This is the Token I became a fan of in the first place, with this style of ambitious technical display with the cadences, rhyme schemes and wordplay but still deep and passionate at the same time. He kinda toned down his rappity-rap style recently but this freestyle reminded me of the lyrical prodigy that I fell in love with in the first place with songs like Doozy, Mass Reform, No Sucka MCs, Waist Down (Extended Version), Flamingo, etc..., and even the previous two freestyles he did on Sway when he made one of the co-hosts cry in the first one and playfully dissed Sway's mic in the second one, way to go, Token, love the freestyle
The fact this freestyle isn’t talked about more is mind boggling. Just unreal
He embarrasses everyone else
All three of his freestyles are amazing
Never heard of this dude but that was one of the best freestyles I've ever heard. 🔥
One of the best? LOL
@@johnnyringo2695 what’s funny about it
Its amazing
Watch his 1st freestyle on sway. Was about 17 then. You see the skills. This one more refined.
@@donalthurlow487 and the 2nd one.
I was never a Token fan but this was very impressive. Catching every beat, switching flows and cadences. Even when there was a hiccup in the beat around 8:15 he was still able to recover like a true professional. Respect!!
Yo, check out his videos Doozy, Flamingo or Salt Shaker. The kid is nice man.
Those are some amazing intros, his brand new one called crybaby hits hard too, very similar to his song code red (older but preferred plus an amazing vid) plus his song with JID was pretty great too but not at the top of the list for sure lol
He hiccuped because annoying ass sway thinks he has to make noises while his guests are rapping and it distracted Token
The switches are immaculate! No one can do it like TOKE! Smooth transitions, emotion pours out at the end. No body can come close to this!
Sway thank you! All these years gone by and you continue to support real hiphop and we love you for it!!
Absolutely & utterly unbelievable talent first saw him on Sway & been following ever since, from so chilled to complete beast massive respect man 🤙
I’ve never been enter the depths of a MC’s heart like I did during his freestyle bonanza…. Token is a goat
That was super emotional and masterful lyrciscm wrapped in one. I listened to it 1st then after watched you perform you're a gift, appreciate you sharing Token. It's very apparent you've grown and sharpened the blade. WOW, JUST WOW.
How has this not blown up more?! Rappers gotta react to this, and explain to the public how TALENTED this session was🔥
This shit is ridiculous how this man delivers this shit. I wish I could be there to see and feel the energy bro has. Amazing🔥💯
Probably the best freestyle I've ever heard and thats no lie , I felt his pain and emotions and he's done that freestylin and there ain't many rappers out there doing that writing the songs 😂 absolutely unreal 🔥🔥🔥
that was absolutely amazing, that was easily the most impressive freestyle ive heard
I keep coming back for this!!! 🔥🔥🔥
I'm SPEECHLESS....
Poured out his soul and KILLED it!
That intro was the stuff of legends. Sway truly is a poet giving other poets a platform.
The passion he brings with him during every verse is unmatched. Nobody has the hunger he has! Yet again, CRUSHED it.
Token NEVER disappoints. Can’t wait to see him perform in AZ front row seat🔥
I’ll be there with you, my boy. Idk if you’ve seen him before but GREAT performer
@@GetCrazyXD aye bro hear me out real quick… Im just tryna get my music heard I Think I got potential to make it fr if u have a minute check out my music and let me know what you think 💯
This Might Go Unnoticed But Im NOT A Bot like Most the Comments here .. If You Got a Minute my music Is fire FR I just need to be Heard you wont be disappointed🔥
Valley Bar 🔥🎙️
See yall there
Actually had tears from this, incredible performance Toke!
Bro how can you listen to this freestyle and not get chills. This is insane 🔥
I love how there’s no talk of him “being off beat” like there was from his first 9 min flow on Sway. He’s sharper than ever. Lethal. Clean. Growing into greatness. Good job, T;)
Love Token, but he definitely still doesn’t ride the beats entirely. Some more than others on this one tho
@@ChrisbeFoSerious i thought so too.. the first time.. but after a second listen it sounded better to me. idk .. great kid. amazing talent
@@ChrisbeFoSerious riding the beat is boring
@@giltyascharged it’s mainly the 2nd and 3rd beat. After that he does!
He's still off beat quite a bit but I don't think you listen to him for that anyway.
Damn, I was just trying to do cardio on the stair stepper and just about busted into tears. That shit was delivered like no other. Hats off, you gained a supporter.
No crap!!!
LOL
great music for learning belly dancing...i think i got it down in your one song after lots of lessons on IG
same here I was extreme scootering and I fell to my knee pads in the skate park after hearing him talk about his life.
I just love the way Token raps. He can go for 3-4mins rapping about nonsense that sounds awesome then hit you with 3 lines that really hit hard and completely change the tone of the song/freestyles/whatever he's on. Truly an artist.
Edit: Wrote this comment 8mins in started crying at 10mins. Powerful stuff
I read this comment and thought there's no way any freestyle will make me cry..... but SHIT here I am
Thank god I’m not the only one crying! That shit was insane
The whole thing is fire but the end gave me chills man. Been a fan for years, glad to see him growing.
Holy fuck Token pours his heart into every line. This actually plays like a movie how he matches his lyrics to the beats.
I love watching Sway just smiling and nodding his head the whole time
Historical! By the end of the freestyle I had my hands on my head in disbelief, this was phenomenal.
This was something else ! All the best Token. Your father is proud of you man, i bet my life on it . I almost cryed when he start rapping about the most fucked up year of his life and how he enter the beat on the end of the video ... God keep this man in the game !
First time seeing this. Damn! I remember seeing Token a few years back. I forgot about him. I saw his Hawk Tuah freestyle and then remembered him. Im glad I saw this video. Straight 🔥 🔥
one of the better freestyles to date. respect to him and his struggles.
This is just insane. Gave me chills. Dude kills it. Makes it look so easy.
holy shit tok. This shit damn near brought me to tears. the lyrics and the flow are incredible. you are a legend
Token and Sway the dynamic duo we previously didn’t know we needed 🐐 🐐
I've followed token through the past ... Sht a fair few yr. Them bars give me goose bumps, you ain't never lost your fans. Seen what you've come through. You got this
That was freaking amazing! SKILLS.... Dude literally seemed like he turned into several different people(or personalities) throughout this freestyle. His facial expressions, his demeanor, his flows... crazy good!
10:40 that transition gave me chillssssss 🥶🥶
Do you know the name of that sample?
What is the name of this beat
Its from The Good, The Bad and The Ugly. Old movie.
