Their first album, My Crew, My Dawgs (2001), made Top 10 in the Billboard Top Reggae Album Chart and got platinum status in Japan. Their song "Chi Chi Man" was controversial for its lyrics about murdering gays. T.O.K. refused to sign the Reggae Compassion Act. In 2015 the group split up.

1. Alistaire Mc Calla, Roshaun Clarke, Craig Thompson and Xavier Davidson make up the Jamaican dancehall crew, known as T.O.K (a.k.a Touch Of Klass).
Straight from Jamaica, T.O.K has emerged as dancehall's hottest foursome. The band, made up of Alex, Flexx, Bay-C and Craigy T, have shown their true strength with their sophomore VP Records set.
The group started out in high school doing R'n'B covers, and it was only a matter of time before they began to blend hardcore dancehall into their music to create their trademark style. After building a fan base on their home island, the group was recognised in the U.S. with their 2001 debut album "My Crew, My Dawgs," which peaked at No. 6 on Billboard's Top Reggae Albums chart.
With singles such as "Gal You Ah Lead", T.O.K has become a crossover hit. The single has re-introduced the group to fans both stateside and abroad, as the world's current fascination with dancehall continues to grow. T.O.K sees it as their duty to "continue doing more quality songs that everybody loves to sing because more eyes are on us and the whole dancehall fraternity on a whole," says Flexx. "We hope that our fans will see that we have grown as artists," says Bay-C. "We will be around for a very long time."

T.O.K. Lyrics
One set of footprints inna di sand and yuh a grumble and
A screw a seh it shoulda be two remember one thing mi youth a Father God have the plan so when
You see one set of footprints a God carry you
Hurry up and come back was the last thing she said to her son
The day his life was taken she did not know he wouldn't come back he died from the bullet
Of a gun and now her little boy is gone
She said help me, Lord help me and she looked up to the sky and she heard a voice reply
When you cry I cry
I cry along with you
When you smile I smile
I smile along with you
When you cry I cry
I cry along with you
When you smile I smile
I smile along with you
Another baby left homeless
Abandoned when he was two so the street side kids
At the shopping mall was the family he knew it's not easy being homeless sometimes you have to do
What you have to do and he didn't have a mom or dad to help him get through
He said help me, Father help me
And then he looked up to the sky and he heard a voice reply
When you cry I cry
I cry along with you
When you smile I smile
I smile along with you
It was early Sunday morning mi get up a watch the news
Then mi hear seh last night a seaview dem kill a youth den mamma tell mi seh her church sister
Jacqueline just lose her brother over seaview gardens
When she tell mi jah jah know ti mash mi up naah tell nuh lie but yuh know seh man a thuggist so yuh
Naah go see me cry everyday and every night she still a ask the father
Why her brother had to die she heard a voice reply
When you cry I cry
I cry along with you
When you smile I smile
I smile along with you

Cry, cry, cry
One set of footprints in ah di sand
And yuh ah grumble and ah so you think it should ah be two
'Member one thing mi youth a Father God have the plan
So when you see one set of footprints ah God ah carry you
"Hurry up and come back"
Was the last thing she said to her son
The day his life was taken
She didn't know he wouldn't come back
He died from the bullet of a gun
And now her little boy is gone
She said "Help me, Lord help me"
And she looked up to the sky
And she heard a voice reply
When you cry, I cry
I cry along with you
When you smile, I smile
I smile along with you
When you cry, I cry
I cry along with you
When you smile, I smile
I smile along with you
Another baby left homeless
Abandoned when he was two
So the street side kids at the shopping mall was the family he knew
It's not easy being homeless
Sometimes you have to do, what you have to do
And he didn't have a mom or dad to help him get through
He said "Help me, Father help me"
And he looked up to the sky
And he heard a voice reply
When you cry, I cry
I cry along with you
When you smile, I smile
I smile along with you
When you cry, I cry (Based on a true story)
I cry along with you
When you smile, I smile (Keep yuh head up)
I smile along with you
It was early Sunday morning, me get up ah watch the news
Den me hear say last night a sea view dem kill ah youth
Den, mamma tell me say her church sister Jacqueline
Just lose her brother over sea view garden
When she tell me, jah jah know it, mash me up, nuh tell me lie
But yuh know say man a thuggist so yuh nuh go see me cry
Everyday and everynight she still ah ask the father why
Her brother had to die
She heard ah voice reply
When you cry, I cry
I cry along with you
When you smile, I smile
I smile along with you
When you cry, I cry
I cry along with you
When you smile, I smile
I smile along with you
When you cry, I cry
I cry along with you
When you smile, I smile
I smile along with you
When you cry, I cry
I cry along with you
When you smile, I smile
I smile along with you
