Tokimonsta - Almost Free

[MrFuzzySlippas]

this is the 2nd song iv heard by this girl and im already blown away

[mrXsl33p3r]

What genre would this be considered? I've been wondering this ever since i started listening to flying lotus and shlohmo.

[JoseCamacho94]

oh my i love this chick!

[NujabesIsAlive]

@iHateEmoPeoplesz I agree completely. I love Nujabes, and I think Tokimonsta is extremely talented, however their styles are completely different. You can't compare them, just like you can't compare Dilla and Nujabes. Both extremely talented, but very different. It's like comparing apples to oranges. You just can't.

[mattnlondon]

@NujabesIsAlive couldn't agree more

[christakwon]

where is stargazing coma?!

[iHateEmoPeoplesz]

I'm a huge fan of Nujabes, but to be honest she is nothing like Nujabes. I love her music, but don't get me wrong and quickly accuse me of hating her. I just only see two completely unique artists.

[PaulTheNG]

@iHateEmoPeoplesz Exactly!! EVERY producer has his or her unique-ness. But the feelings they give you when you're listening to their music may be similar does not mean they are the same or whatnot.

[ARRGxbrandonx]

@iHateEmoPeoplesz i can see alot of similarities in their music personally, and tokimonsta says her inspiration comes from nujabes, but i love both artists as well

[Drolkin]

@iHateEmoPeoplesz Agreed, definitely nothing like Nujabes, but still her music is okay, but looks like a square pushah to me. :) *press square 1, press square 2, press square 3* This is not what Nujabes did. :P

[melobeatss]

@Drolkin square pusher??... lol thats an apc its just a midi controller used for sequencing live performances....

[thebluescotsman50]

@BruteWarm i knew the answer to my question but it is nice to see someone understands.

[newtonruth]

wait wait wait... a girl made this? Tokimonsta is a female?.... dude my male apparatus is so hard right now... all this time i thought it was guy making these beats. dude your a GODDESS!

[commalTl]

wow i was actually able to relax for a few mins thanks to this song"]

[HURENWEIGI]

such intense times these days.....

[flashgord2007]

i love it i make music like that and with turntables

[ashante1989]

OMFG!!! If Andre 3000 could flow to this would be such a beautiful thing!!!

[thebluescotsman50]

@ashante1989 that would ruin it. why does someone have to speak for it to be beautiful?

[superdarkmario2]

@ashante1989 I like andre 3000, but yeah that would totally ruin it

[Solaviable]

Almost Free but weighed down by trivial things i cant seem to reach for this eternal peace although i find peace in things that matter to me like family friends and altogether natural beings who live not by words but by heart who share their pain and soul with other true beings that matter the most. ~ Lavi. This Song made me make this lol out of the top of my head xD

[SodaNSoap]

wow

[AnimationsAbiding]

Definitely needs more views.

[Skateateer]

she is raw soul jun seba's soul sister

and my soul mate >:3

[kwaah]

@CeptionLive

I find it unnecessary to resort to ad hominem attacks, but you should see the comments to which I refer to that litter the comments section her videos.

I agree with you on the most part. The comment was just an expression of my opinion which I believe I'm entitled to.

I respect you for loving the same music I do. There's no need to get hostile.

[ShadowWarloc]

I will say as I have seen been said in many other videos, including videos for tokimonsta...let's all just hold our tongues, and enjoy this very beautiful spinning piece of material for the treasure that it is.

[LIQUIDxOCELOT93]

j'adore !!



[HeavyMetalChopstick]

i love aggressive/energetic music, whether it be metal or electro or dubstep, but i fucking love this kinda music too-- these super chill, relaxed tunes. obviously tokimonsta and nujabes, and shingo suzuki, and nomak...so god damn relaxing its unreal

[SoulMaster05]

this would sound pretty good if it had some heavy beats kicking in to it.

[jkang4124]

damn, i want a DL of this :) really chill and relaxing 

[VyrusTheGr8]

I love her style, and basically the whole west coast's up and coming producers, please be sure to check out my song I did to this track it's called "Fuck That"

[Zoro4Ace]

same destination ? different path ?

[TheCoconuTea]

It's the same genre of music, duh its gonna sound a tad bit similar.

[Bboyroki]

ORRRRR she just loves music.

[megaBubble07]

this is def not reincarnation of the Nujabes, he has his style we all recognize to be his own which was why we all vybed hard to it

she's in the category that he's in but... it feels different, she feels different

i can see how its offensive to call her a reincarnation, it discredits her that's still a damn nice compliment and i'm sure ppl mean it, it just can't be confused that this is really her own personal style

and that we're vybing hard to it :)

mah two cents

[ozzya91]

@megaBubble07 stop 'vybing' to things faggot.

[kelloggepop]

This remind anybody of animal crossing, by chance? Maybe Wild World? No? I'm a fag? I apologize

[OnlyOmari]

@kelloggepop lmao, I needed that laugh

[d4sh94]

@kelloggepop you are not a fag animal crossing was my favorite game

[MisterSnig]

@kelloggepop Yeah, there's a bit of K.K. Soul in there.

[TheAgeone]

jour a fuk ju. chi iz good. so jour a fuk ju. beech fuken.

[DJPsychosiSCO]

@TheAgeone bro, learn some proper english.

[MrFrsh2010]

yall took what i said the wrong way damn!!!

[nakhsa18]

@MrFrsh2010 who cares? fuck those fools XD

[nakhsa18]

@MrFrsh2010 nujabes lives on in all our hearts and souls. there aint anyone who would disrespect that foo. and if they do theyd have to go thru me and half the world

[KuritaElite]

What a lovely song as a late night hookah serenade. Bravo! Sitting here, in this moment, Tokimonsta comes to me as my muse!

[BrownStarChick15]

I love the fact that she's a female in the hip hop world - no one can deny that hip hop is generally dominated by males. She inspires me [as a female] to contribute to hip hop one day as well. =]

[hotnovel]

@BrownStarChick15 one day? why don't you do it now?

[MrFrsh2010]

I thought Nujabes was gone.

[Kuti210]

@MrFrsh2010 That sounds rude for me. Fuck you.

[ValleysShapedByHand]

@MrFrsh2010 WOW.

[MrFuzzySlippas]

@MrFrsh2010 spirits do live on



[darkangel20938]

omg nujabes again please this is an inspiration this is sooo good i will always love you nujabes forever 

[oo7liu]

nujabes and tokimonsta DO NOT sound the same..

in nujabes you could still really hear the jazzy aspect of his samples

in this you don't really it's more hip hop-esque but it's still dope as hell

[floydboy92]

Nujabes is grear, but i feel her musik more. It has a different flavor of ingredients to it. Both are magical though.

[Tressiensia]

@floydboy92 Definitely a lot of influence from the german trance/techno scene. The beat is different, TOKi is little more R&B but if you listen to, say, Siriusmo, the style in sound is very similar.

[zarenj21]

"I love you, do you love me?

The two of us, can it be greater than three?"

<3 greater than three.

[TheCionTheory]

fresh.

[Bootleger619]

<3

[Mario41996]

How do i download this, pay for this just get it general? album?

[vicx05]

@Mario41996 it's actually free, google it.

[notericaa]

nujabes in female form



[Enkazed]

ah, reminds me so much of Nujabes :')

[4stardust2]

amazing

[Ru5hh]

y'all peep out my cover of almost free. feedback is appreciated! love tokimonsta!

[GroovyLoveBirds]

TOKIMONSTA IS THE SHIT LIVE

[kakashihatakeofax2]

why is there a dislike??

[EnigmaticH3art]

another classic!

[dethkid7]

i think im in love

[MisterKCC78]

pretty much flawless right here.

[kwaah]

@ErectMonstrosity

Hardly an overreaction. I understand that it's a compliment.

I just find it annoying that people imply that she's trying to (or is) copy the style of Nujabes.

[iDestroyNoobs]

like a cross between boards of canada and four tet :O!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[HipHophoney2]

she looks great here no homo... but ILL..

[kwaah]

I hate how people are saying she's the reincarnation of Nujabes and shit...

I mean, I love Nujabes and his music, but she's doing her own thing and she's been around before his unfortunate death.

She's not even trying to replicate his sound. It's her own unique sound.

Stop this shit. Thank you.

[ErectMonstrosity]

@kwaah Overreacting bro, don't take it to harshly. If anything they're complimenting her

[Afrojesuswtf]

@kwaah We should be happy, that she sounds like nujabes. Knowing what kind of person he was (Amazing) I know she is too, and her music displays affection i can't even describe. And thats why I love her.

Every now and then we need a surprise artist to take our breaths away. And she did just that to me,

Thank you Tokimonsta i will follow you!

[thatbboy93]

@kwaah the fact that people wanna say that artists sound like nujabes is just a show of appreciation but in another sense, they cant put down the fact that he's gone. Don't get me wrong though, I miss nujabes a lot. But the matter of fact is that he's really gone, and you can't depict another artist as this great artist you've once listened too, it's just demeaning both the artists out here and putting up a wall of illusion for yourself, so please respect our musicians for doin they thangs.

[thatbboy93]

@thatbboy93 I had so much more to write, but in all seriousness, if you love music then three pounds for all of these artists- "one blood, one love, one destiny" am i right? love peace and unity

[funkmasteryellow]

@kwaah word

[lisie82167]

@kwaah LOl,chill out man. Nujabes was probably her inspiration.

[SNUSNU4U]

@kwaah its the reincarnation of his talent, brought back to our menial physical world to pleasure us :)

[LaVivaGan]

@kwaah I agree man or chick, but you have to understand, not everyone is good at expressing themselves, yo...

They love the music. They love Nujabes. It's an attempt to show a love for the music.

Embrace it. There's a state of widespread amity between the audience and artist, fellow soul in this mix. :D

[ShadowWarloc]

@kwaah Truth, speak it.

[xAsianxNoodlesx]

@kwaah I dont know about a reincarnation.

And she does have her own style of beats.

They way I see it.

She is like a female Nujabes.

And I dont mean in like a replica or copy cat.

But more of a, idle to look up to.

For inspiration and guidance. Ya know.

.

Love you Tokimonsta.

Keep it up. ^

[CeptionLive]

@kwaah you're a fucking idiot.

the people saying stuff like that are making a note that toki makes music similar to nujabes.

she has a different style, and both of them are amazing

of course shes not trying to replicate shit, fucks sake.

of course not a reincarnation

nujabes (RIP <3) is amazing

tokimonsta is amazing

end of story

[rutzen21]

@CeptionLive hey man, she is dope thats for sure, but no way near original yo

[MCMLXXX111]

@kwaah well spoken. :)

[ReptileNoobGaming]

@kwaah Thanks for putting that out, even though Nujabes is probably one of the best music artists I know Toki is unique. People probably think shes like a copy because their music is just so relaxing and chill.

[Deviruchix3]

TOKiMONSTA and nujabes. If only they could work together; but we all know that isn't going to happen anymore. :cccc

[KennysaysRawr]

@Deviruchix3 What are you talking about? All Tokimonsta has to do is press play and Nujabes is there to help :)

[Deviruchix3]

@KennysaysRawr Seba Jun is dead... >>

[KennysaysRawr]

@Deviruchix3 nah he's not, im listening to him right now :3

[Demock]

@KennysaysRawr hehe, I do believe a bit of his soul has been passed on to Toki :>

[AvoidAvoid]

ive had this track on repeat on and off for the last 5 days/ super beauty

[directmusic94]

I would just melt in this woman's presence.

[Sheeptopia]

Oh my god, this is like making love to my ears. <3 Simply beautiful.

[patilnikh]

HAHAHAHAHHA, who faggot gave a dislike?

[notPaige]

@patilnikh For all we know. You.

[CARNIVALNOISES]

FAAAAAAAAAAAACCCKKKK this is good.

[mrfatman25]

im writing a rap 4 this song as we speak.....taking a break right now but im gonna get back into it soon and i hope 2 have a vid soon as well

[newguyblaze]

Who in the blue hell disliked this?

[InnerMantra]

Dope Beat, Jay Dilla, Nujabes and TOKiMONSTA are the best MC's in this world, Nujabes/TOKiMONSTA/ Jay DIlla, really changed my life and how I see music now, this is art this is the next Mozart. R.I.P Nujabes. and Jay Dilla. Lupus what a horrible Disorder to suffer from.

[jimmyNwonfuStudios]

@InnerMantra their not mc's. their beatsmiths, djs :D

[Likeabosscuzimdaboss]

@InnerMantra It's fucking cool how big of an impact music can have on someone

[CaptainFroggz]

Women have such a beautiful and unique way of creating music. It's truly amazing, and Tokimonsta really has an amazing grasp on it. So good. : ]

[hotnovel]

its sad but i always get suprised when a female artist is a producer only, sad :/

[xpreshun]

1 person doesn't know what its like to be almost free.

[teddysafford]

@xpreshun either that or just that one person IS free ;)

[xpreshun]

@teddysafford haha i was gonna say that...but i wanted to play devil's advocate. ;)

[pandaboi56]

where would i be without toki

[vicx05]

so chill...

[antk1989]

I remember hearing stuff like this in a small glastonbury tent n have been in love since, especially with all this hazy summer afternoons coming ;-)

[pantarage]

Who fall in love with this girl put your hands up!

[nthegamemaster]

This beat is amazing.

[butterflytwilight]

Acoustic alchemy, perfect blend, love it!

[Dubbedproduction9]

0 dislikes, haha, tokimonsta, you are amazing

[Demock]

love this girl :D also, APC40 :)

[Asdee14]

Really nice.

[daveparkk]

amazing

[vraymond02]

nujabes resurrected

[atepope2]

@vraymond02

I'm a little tired of seeing this on every (even slightly) jazzy sounding song. Every one of these artists puts their own personalities in their music. And this sounds nothing like Nujabes. I love Nujabes, probably my favorite artist. But give these artists credit on their own credentials.

[vraymond02]

@atepope2 you're right, im sure she works hard at what she does to accomplish these amazing tracks. My comment was sincere and believe me when I say "nujabes resurrected" that is the best compliment I could give to such an artist as tokimonsta because nujabes was the shit and this jam reminds me of him. So please don't take it the wrong way when people use their own opinions to express how they feel. You might misinterpret the meaning behind people's comments.

[dacbiet]

@vraymond02

Forreal. Female version of Nujabes.

[13SoulSurvivor]

@vraymond02 kaykayonthebeatz it s nujabes resurrection

[PTSO09]

@vraymond02 don't compare them, different scenes of music, different people, he did his thing, rest in peace, and she's doing hers.

[vraymond02]

@PTSO09 how about i did my thing and you did yours, imma think what i like and you are entitled to do the same

[PTSO09]

@vraymond02 I'm just saying, they're completely different, kinda strange to say that haha don't get mad, my bad didn't mean to sound so .. yeah

[vraymond02]

@PTSO09 lol you are a funny guy. im not mad i just wanna drop it, apparently you dont think people should be entitled to their own opinion, so like i said before you have your own opinions and i have mine. so um yea sorry that you did sound so...yeah

[ojr777]

@vraymond02 lol

[zeroswings2]

hmmm... very nice. mellow and kinda upbeat. I likes...

[herefordopeness]

This is so beautiful. I read somewhere she came home drunk after a night out and recorded this tune with a rhodes, ableton, house-keys and a shitty mic...true musicianmanship right there!

[longng]

this and gamble are my toki fav's so farr

[GarudaPSN]

So, funny story, I left this song on youtuberepeat, then happened to bring my girlfriend home. I got to say, this is great music to make out and just chill, as a couple :) it probably looped some 20 times, but it felt great.

[Sensaistar7]

@GarudaPSN how do you repeat?

[GarudaPSN]

@Sensaistar7 add repeat to your url, after youtube and before (dot)com

[Staticism6]

Mmmh lovely. I'll put this song on replay for the next couple days.

[franekgff]

Saw her in L.A Chick is legit 

[misterhulk]

I will gladly pay money for this track, where can I find it??

[nerdswerth]

@misterhulk

she put it on her blog for free awhile back...the day she got her rhodes piano i think

[funkmonk33]

oh my...

[KuritaElite]

Woooooah. I was about to say she had excellent music after listening to a few, but this is absolutely fantastic!

[Abel80114]

ALL eyes On TOKIMONSTA !!!!!

[freakintrick]

@YourBuddieITPB wtf are you high.

[YourBuddieITPB]

@freakintrick lol maybe :)

[JATIYANA]

@YourBuddieITPB thats beautiful!! Truly, all the inspiration you need :) Pure love

[YourBuddieITPB]

@JATIYANA  thnx!

[damaster37]

so chilllllll!

[ezname1234]

the music is so chill, good for driving in my car to prevent me going on a road rage.

[Prophet6000]

She is too dope i love her

[ookami8672]

damn it sucks to see how people are blinded to what is ''good music'' ex Soulja Boy, Lady Gaga or whatever....This is what you call ''GOOD MUSIC'' ^_^

[darkblitzrz8]

@ookami8672

who is soulja boy or lady gaga.. im sorry im the only american whom doesn't watch tv.... lol...  just a joke .. but seriously i dont watch tv at all.

this is ok music i suppose.. my opinion... compared to .those u mentioned .. but how about against real advisory .then this is a weak song for TOKIMONSTA..

AGAIN my opinion

[mjbdisaster]

is this on an a album

[Jay2Dilla]

@mjbdisaster nope

[SlipryFingrz]

@Jay2Dilla It should most definitely be on an album.

[Jay2Dilla]

@SlipryFingrz i totally agree with you!!

[YourBuddieITPB]

Another for Tokimonsta this one is chill.

Starts at 35 seconds: Almost free oh yes I see, the light at the end, oh will I ever get their, oh will i ever be free, I will travel the earth, and the seven seas, to reach my destination, this is my fixsation, exsplore the stars, fly past mars,dont care what it takes, even if I have to destroy heavens gates,I will escape my fate, for my own sake,so close and yet so far away,I will get their, I swear one day,my dream will never fade away.

[pandaboi56]

@YourBuddieITPB that was... beautiful...

[YourBuddieITPB]

@pandaboi56 thnx man im liken the muse you got on your page

[thuglife0650]

@YourBuddieITPB  haha better drop that heat on this track soon

[sickpropensity]

@YourBuddieITPB learn how to spell

[MrSodaBelly]

@YourBuddieITPB was that u sucking my dick? that was horrible..

[debo2380]

@YourBuddieITPB Distracted by your misspellings.

[GreenWeedz69]

this is great man!! :) thumbs up.
