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."

너에게 남긴 상처들
멈추지 않는 시간은
너무 차갑기만 해
반가워 오랜만이군
조금 어색하지만 친군
이렇게 얘길 꺼내
향이 그윽한 latte
오늘은 좀 싱거운 것 같네
창밖에 비, 비, 비가 내리고
숨 죽이듯 아련한 안개
새삼스레 잠 못드는 밤이야
줄어든 연필심과 씨름하는 어두운 이 밤에
Radio same old song
도레미파솔솔 (도레미파솔솔)
그러게 이제 여기엔 나 홀로
오늘따라 오늘따라 내 머리 위로
너는 날아다니고
너를따라 너를따라서 자유롭게
훨훨 날아다니죠
멋진 날개를 달고 널 만날 수 있다면
I can do that that, do that that
Do that, do that, do do that that
반복해 잠 못드는 밤 밤
미련한 마음 모두다 지워볼까 해
흐르는 정적 찬 바람 솔솔
(우린 왜 왜 왜왜) 또 반복되는 난 밤마다 오늘따라
마음구석에 박혀버린 가시
매일 흐리멍텅한 날씨
휴대폰 통화기록은 죄다 발신
I'm alright 무쇠 팔 무쇠 다리
아무 흔적없이 떠나가라
불면에 잠 설치다 흐른 거친 땀의
이런 내 자신이 놀라워
침을 쏘고 죽은 벌과 flower
오늘따라 오늘따라 내 머리 위로
너는 날아다니고
너를따라 너를따라서 자유롭게
훨훨 날아다니죠
멋진 날개를 달고 널 만날 수 있다면
I can do that that, do that that
Do that, do that, do do that that
I can feel it, I, I can feel it feel it
I can feel it, feel it in the air
I can feel it
I can can can can feel it, feel it
Let me tell ya
T.O.P. break it down now
어쩌면 후회하고 있지
너에게 남긴 상처들을
멈추지 않는 시간은
너무 나 홀로
오늘따라 오늘따라 내 머리 위로
너는 날아다니고
너를따라 너를따라서 자유롭게
훨훨 날아다니죠
멋진 날개를 달고 (oh) 널 만날 수 있다면 (oh)
I can do that that, do that that
Do that, do that, do do that that
In T.O.K.'s song "All Day," the singer appears to be lamenting over past mistakes and regrets that they have left behind on someone else. The "cold" passage of time is contrasted against a seemingly special night of conversation in a "deserted cafe," where the singer wishes they could fly away and leave their troubles behind. The song combines elements of reggae and R&B to create a dreamy atmosphere that reflects the singer's longing for escape.
The lyrics of "All Day" convey a sense of melancholy and nostalgia, as if the singer is looking back on their past with a sense of sadness and regret. The theme of time passing and the inability to undo past mistakes is prevalent throughout the song, highlighting the singer's desire for a fresh start. Despite this, the chorus suggests a sense of hopefulness and determination to overcome these issues, with the repeated refrain of "I can do that, that" serving as a mantra for the singer's goals.
Overall, "All Day" evokes a sense of wistfulness and yearning, while also highlighting the importance of self-reflection and the ability to turn over a new leaf.

I am surprised by myself,
침을 쏘고 죽은 벌과 flower
Saliva drips onto the dead bees and flowers.

With beautiful wings (oh), if I can meet you (oh),
I can do that that, do that that
I can do that that, do that that,
Do that, do that, do do that that
Do that, do that, do do that that.
