The first time I heard Toyan was on a VHS-recording of a Volcano dance where the young deejay was sporting some nice and big earphones. With closed eyes the esoteric chatter would splurt out »I'm a one time, two time loser. Gu-dung-dung-dung-dung!«. The style being gruff an' unpolished. Toyans typical asthmatic chatting run through a ruffness filter. For a long time this was what I expected from him. Later on I understood that the style on that VHS-recording was more of an exception than his usual vibe. So for some reason I was put off of his style for some while. The records that really made me inspired to check him again was How the West Was Won and this one, his eponymous release for the Hookims.
Included on this set is the awesome »Cuss Cuss« over Soljie's mix of cuss cuss. »Wife & Sweetheart« over Phillip Frazers »Run Mr. Wickedman«, the legendary »Spar With Me« ina different mix. The whole set is a rub-a-dub gem.
Productions are by the Hookims and the cover art by the one and only Jamaal Pete. It was released on J&L Records.
No gimmicks, gimmicks! Jus' lyrics, lyrics make a deejay sound so sweet. Is a cuss cuss. Slang-bang-ding-ling-ling-ling...
