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
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I don't wanna talk about how I'm feeling… i don't wanna feel it.. put me on the celing or All on the walls your name I would call I just need a distraction I needed some action… I Guess it don't matter I don't wanna be here I can't even think clear
Baby I'm not high enough I hope that your rolling up I had plans of showing ya all that ive Been thinkin of… Baby I'm not high enough I hope that your rolling up I had plans of Showing ya all that ive been thinkin of…
The lyrics to T.O.K.'s song High are reflective of the experiences and emotions of someone who is affected by the use of mind-altering substances. The singer is admitting that they have been using drugs, but still feel like they are not high enough. They are hoping that their partner will join them and help them reach a state of euphoria where they can freely express their thoughts and feelings.
The singer also reveals that they do not want to talk about their emotions or face their problems head-on. They would rather use drugs as a coping mechanism and distract themselves from reality. The singer craves for a sense of detachment from their own life, hence the desire to be on the ceiling or walls.
The song portrays a sad and sobering reality that is often not addressed when it comes to drug use. It is not just the physical addiction, but the psychological dependency that can be detrimental to one's well-being.
