Words and Action

Minneapolis’ Toki Wright, who was raised Buddhist, developed an awareness of the world that influenced his work as a hip-hop emcee, community activist, and world traveler. This awareness is reflected in his debut album, A Different Mirror, notably on songs like the socio-political anthem “State of Emergency.” Wright mixes the message and the music together in a way that’s equal parts inspirational and infectious. Whether he’s working the crowd at Coachella or with children in war-torn Uganda, Wright’s audience is better off for the experience.
