T.O.K is back with their well-anticipated album “Unknown Language”. After months and months of getting pushed back the sophomore album is finally here. 16 hot tracks that will have you dancing till the end. Unknown Language has something for everyone. “She’s Hotter” the remix to She’s Hot is incredible; it has a Spanish feel to it. The remix was done with DJ Pitbull who is blazing up the Reggaeton scene and having him on the album only goes to show that not only is T.O.K crossing over international but they are also crossing over into the Reggaeton field like how Mr. Vegas did with his song “Pull Up”.
The song that is mashing up the place “Footprints” is another hot track off the album. Footprints was written by Alex, who dedicated the song to his brother Gavin who was killed by a stray bullet, the song is also on the Drop Leaf Riddim produced by Donovan “Vendetta” Bennett. “Music’s Pumping” is a song that the ladies can dance to for their man, it has a hip shaker feel to it. “Weak” is a song for the ladies, it’s about this woman that has got this man going crazy, he doesn’t like the way he’s feeling because he’s falling for her hard but he doesn’t want to but he can’t help the way he feels. “She makes me weak/She knocks me off my feet/ But I don’t really like it/ I’m trying to fight it.
“No Way Jose” is a club song that all of the men will want to know the words to. How many guys out their has been with a girl you wine and dine her, give her money for whatever she wants, and when the time comes for her to give you a little attention she just “walks off into the sunset” and not give you a second look or thought. Well this is your song “No Way Jose/ We nah guh eva stray/A gyal fi know/She haffi give it up/Before we play/If she don’t play/Then we don’t pay.
The group also has a song about the way Jamaica is running right now with the crime rate and the death of all the innocent people, the beat to this song has a church feel to it. Grab your tambourine and sing with me “We nuh like wha gwaan/Too much innocent a dead wha gwaan/And outta road a run red/Somebody tell mi wha gwaan inna Jam Dung. “Neck Breakers” is a song that has an Indian feel to it. This is one of those bedroom songs, that gets the mood right. “Any gyal whey drap inna mi bed/A dead she haffi dead/ Mi hear di gyal a beg/ She nuh want anodda fella.
And lastly “Hey Ladies” is a real club banger this is a song for both the hot girls and guys at the club who always get attention from the opposite sex “All the ladies/let me see your hands up in the air/From you know/You look in what you wear/ All the gansta/let me see you bust it in the air. They out did themselves with this album. The wait was well deserved all I can say is everything was done with a Touch Of Klass.
I give this album 4.5 out of 5 Stars.
