Creatively uniting a limitless passion for music with a powerfully authentic writing style, rapper and artist Tay Toe brings integrity and heart to contemporary hip-hop. Already noting hundreds of thousands of streams across a handful of releases since arriving on the scene in 2019, Tay Toe’s repertoire denotes an artist committed to the cause – driven by equal parts soul and precision amidst a fine balance of melodic, lyrical and instrumental appeal.
The Los Angeles-born, Salt Lake City-based artist has just unveiled his new single, “Life of Blues”, which is an introduction to his upcoming album, Habits and Setbacks, due to be released on December 9th. Following a haunting piano part, juxtaposed by nostalgic electronic rhythms, the track highlights Tay Toe’s impressive lyricism and storytelling abilities as he opens up about addiction.
“‘Life of Blues’ is a song that people will turn to when they feel like they have nothing left. Drug and alcohol addiction is a global problem. Addiction affects the person who is addicted, and it also affects the family members of that person. This song is for anyone going through a hard time, but mostly it’s for the families and individuals struggling with addiction. It’s also for the people who have lost loved ones because of addiction. I have a brother who is going through turbulence because of addiction, and I wrote this song for him. I hope it can shed some light on this topic in a positive manner. I hope it can help people like my brother change. I want him to know that his family loves him so he doesn’t give up.”—Tay Toe
