Miami Rapper ToBy Announces ToBySeason Vol. 1 Release Date + New Singles EGO and MONEYBALL Out Now

ToBy-announced the official release date for his mixtape, ToBySeason Vol. 1. Currently, the only single officially released from the project is "90's Babies"--which can be streamed here via Soundcloud, or watch the official music video here. Entirely produced by Datakrash (aka Aleksander Vinter, formally SAVANT) in the short time ToBy has made Los Angeles home, ToBySeason Vol. 1 will be released on Friday, February 23-following a week of A-side/B-side premieres. Stay tuned.

ToBy says of the project: "Making 'ToBySeason Vol. I was such a unique experience for me because it was the first time I got to work with a producer as dedicated and tied to the project as Aleks. I had made music with my band and released stuff independently but that all felt more of a solo endeavor. This process saw me as head of all aspects of the creative process and really taught me what it meant to make a good compilation. It was the perfect time to do it too, having moved to LA indefinitely meant that I could really explore what and who 'ToBy' is. I think I did that with the versatility I achieved on this. The singing was stuff I'd always wanted to take further and the more commercial elements were fun tracks I always wanted to make. So all in all, if I were to wrap up the project into one word I'd call it 'eager'. My hunger to get better at what I do every day is what gets me out of bed in the morning and 'ToBySeason Vol. I' is a concrete example of that."

TobySeason Vol. 1 is a reflection of ToBy and Aleksander Vinter's experience in the public domain as artists and equally, as humans. In contrast, last Friday's (2/3) double drop of "Ego" and "Moneyball" come to fans as a separate layer representing ToBy's growth; as his career develops and he adapts to new surroundings. Both tone of the releases are also more explicitly tied to ToBy's hip-hop and rap roots. Stream "Ego" and "Moneyball" on Spotify now.
