The Supertoke series is the epitome of what mixtapes should be, showcasing a barrage of likeminded MCs waxing poetic over a variety of original beats produced by D-Ray, who’s clearly been influenced by golden era producers like DJ Muggs, RZA, Prince Paul, and Madlib.
Because Rhythmicru’s SuperToke series lacks in big budget spending, D-Ray and his cohorts have made up for it in pure creativity. The album sees them defiantly bucking popular hip hop song formulas and traditions for a more freewheeling approach. Gone are the Beat Jacks, the corny formulas, and R&B hooks that plague today’s Hip Hop. They've been replaced by mid-song beat changes, psychedelic interludes, and in-your-face lyrics for the everyman.
With an all-star-roster of over 30 Canadian up-and-comers including More or Les, Wordburglar, Shad, GhettoSox, Grand Analog, and many more, there is an easy group chemistry that produces a very consistent vibe.
The SuperToke’s are a throwback to the mid-90's underground tradition without being a bad reflection of it.
