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."

The lyrics to T.O.K.'s song "Galang Gal" celebrate the confidence and strength of a particular woman who is referred to as a "galang gyal." The first verse praises her unique style and abilities, noting that others try to copy her but "nah come close." The chorus repeats the phrase "galang gyal" while also urging her to "whop dem one by one," "top dem two by two," and "drop dem three by three," suggesting that she is a force to be reckoned with who can take down her competitors. The second verse continues to describe her as a standout, someone who always wears the latest fashion and doesn't care if others are jealous. The song concludes with a call to all women to step up and be as confident and powerful as the galang gyal.
On a broader level, the lyrics can be seen as a celebration of female strength and individuality. The galang gyal is valued not just for her physical beauty or style, but also for her unique abilities and personality. By urging other women to be like her, the song suggests that there is no one right way to be a powerful woman - everyone has their own path to greatness.
