about

The Topping is more than just a melange of Mardi Gras rhythms, spiked with 100 Proof basslines, it’s a vehicle for unmasking Toni Sauna’s abstract yet accessible bars. Lyrically, Toni’s deep water wordplay celebrates the tradition of lyrical-legends from David Ruffin to Grand Puba. With deep listening, Sauna’s vulnerable one liners & addictive hooks, may just be his personal prescriptions for mental metamorphosis during this corona crisis & beyond.

TONI SAUNA is anti-testosterone. Hard bars delivered to you moist . Sauna's word-play is outer limits and accessible. Born and raised in Akron Ohio, boom-bap years in NYC, currently resides in Stockholm. Toni Sauna has toured with Harry Belafonte for a decade throughout the USA, Europe and the Caribbean. However, inside a public sauna in Helsinki, Finland Toni earned his memorable name. This combination of street cred, lyricism, and personality is hook line and sinker. Off rip, Toni Sauna raps devour tracks like an apex predator with a non-threatening voice.

lyrics

THE TOPPING

steady gets em
learning curve diction
metamorphasis is
sleepin with a vision
make my own decision
bobby let me copy
right on your girl chest
second's never sloppy
the topping ://

I’m thankin puba just for sayin
david ruffin
I’m also thanking
bobby brown
thanking him
for somethin
my prerogative was
my perogative
When the cats done it's only 8 more lives to live
Feline purr
When dique beats swerve
Jump rope for speedy feet
And the DJ don't wanna meat (pause)
The cause and thee effect is mic checkin
There's too many luminaires
to thank with this erection
start it up with big bank hank
ropes get snatched
and rats get shanked
work on the core
do it inna plank
yes
to make a bitch
abandon ship
wont bite my lip
beast bars is what i spit
when the shoe that fit
Wear that shit
48 toni
It's gon take more hours than that
to get to know me

steady gets em
learning curve diction
metamorphasis is
sleepin with a vision
make my own decision
bobby let me copy
right on your girl chest
second's never sloppy
the topping//:

steady gets em
learning curve diction
metamorphasis is
sleepin with a vision
make my own decision
bobby let me copy
right on your girl chest
second's never sloppy
the topping//:

I think a trooper is much better
Than a samurai Suzuki
It's bazooka that I'm chewing
I wants to go out
But quarantine is all I'm doing
Shut down the street
But you can't stop dique beat
You can't stop the bum rush of 33 freaks
Build a wall I break it down
Just for messing with me
Test what you see
Test tube baby is Stevie "lately"
Leave em with the mumble
Mom's maybly
No rabies
No biting
No fighting
Can't wait for black lightning to strike twice
On The same night higher heights
Small town girl love stadium lights
Uhn, 5g radiation ain't right
Me nah like.

steady gets em
learning curve diction
metamorphasis is
sleepin with a vision
make my own decision
bobby let me copy
right on your girl chest
second's never sloppy
the topping//:
