"Iyi Remix ft BodineVictoria and Chase Fernander"

TonAsh – “I Yi (Remix)” Featuring Bodine Victoria & Chase Fernander – Music Video Release/Review

Back-to-back & all up in your screens & speakers – we went digging into some of the music that artist TonAsh put out last year as well to check out the 2018 single/video for the “I Yi (Remix)” featuring Bodine Victoria and Chase Fernander, in addition to turning up & tuning into his latest cut “How It Go,” which posted up right before this did. You can find that at our pages by clicking here, and you should!

Produced by Nate Vibez and supported by a video created by Jiggy Productions, TonAsh’s “I Yi (Remix)” looks like a full-on cinematic experience onscreen. Beautiful bodies left & right, stunning scenery in all aspects, powerful voices from every emcee on the mic, all brought to life vibrantly in the tribal-inspired video – everything you’ll see is as enticing to the eyes as the song is to the ears. Gettin’ it done right for sure, you can see from the thousands of hits this song has already racked up since release that this single is being recognized for its uniqueness amongst the people out there – and it should be, this visually looks like it would have taken a lot of effort & planning to pull off, and the stellar end results verify that all that time was time very well spent.

Because as cool or as sexy as any outfit may be, or how awesome the surrounding setting might look like – without material & substance in the music and on the microphone, it’d all be for nothing right? That’s where TonAsh shines even brighter here by taking this track even further, collaborating with & enlisting the A-list support from Bodine Victoria and Chase Fernander on the m-i-c. Not only does “I Yi (Remix)” have its own alluring sound in the surface melody & low-end bass combo goin’ on in the music, but it’s also got three competent & talented forces on the microphone to push this track to the top of playlists. Don’t get me wrong, the King still stays the King – TonAsh is as solid and reliable, stylistic and smooth as ever – but make no mistake dear readers, dear friends – the two Queens in this track ain’t givin’ up the throne any time soon either, know what I’m sayin?’ Bodine Victoria takes on the second verse and instantly switches up the energy to suit her own style & flow on the mic, making an instant impact on us with hot bars spit powerfully like the boss she IS – awesome verse from this emcee. And somehow – it keeps on gettin’ hotter as “I Yi (Remix)” continues on, with Chase Fernander spittin’ fire & true attitude into her verse, revealing slick & sly lyricism that glides right into the mix & along with the vibe. Undeniably a collaboration between them that’s got the magic & in full-effect, these three artists sound like they could take over the globe together on “I Yi (Remix)” – check it out for yourself below! - Sleeping Bag Studios

"TonAsh How It Go"

Multiple Elevation Awards nominee TonAsh aims creatively high with this fresh and memorable approach to hip hop. The soundscape is the first thing to grab you, for sure – that chaotically colourful wash of synths and riffs is as warm as it is unusual and striking. On top of this, the artist’s leading voice fuses melody and rap in a flawlessly rhythmic manner, creating a perfectly alternative rap anthem that pours through as smoothly as RnB.

The stylish and confident performance that drives this track – on top of the crisp and manically fresh beat – is one that shines all the more brightly when accompanied by the official video. TonAsh performs with a natural passion for the art-form, and you can see that as well as hear it in the professionalism on this release. How It Go seems fit to settle into the current hip hop landscape for certain qualities and the overall concept and rhythm, but at the same time you get a decent image of the artist as he starts to pave his own way.

The main thing you’ll take away from the track, after the haunting repeat of that backing riff, is the simple melody and delivery of that hook. The music falls away to present this moment, and TonAsh’s delivery makes certain that when the drop hits you’re swept away on the energy of the moment; and that it’s easy to get involved, to get on-board with these words and this chorus. It makes for a fitting hook, effective as audio but all the more likely to also draw a crowd’s interest at a live show.

TonAsh’s last hit Remix amassed thousands of plays online in just the last six months, and was as colourful and loaded with personality and flow as this new single. The sky’s the limit right now, and thanks to a fine fusion of creative flair and professionalism, TonAsh is likely to continue making waves within the scene.

"TonAsh - How It Go"

How It Go is a new jam from TonAsh, a hip hop artist whose hometown is listed as Nassau, Bahamas. There are definitely some Caribbean vibes detectable in his delivery, which help to enhance the song. TonAsh maintains a swift vocal pacing throughout without missing a beat (true to the philosophy he articulates in the song, “Stoppin’s not an option. I don’t have no brakes.”) The word “go” is the essence of what this track is about: It’s always go time for the artist, whose ready to bust a move in all facets of life at all times. His mind is always racing and on the go. TonAsh understands that nobody cares about or remembers someone who doesn’t take risks. Whether you agree or not, unlike a lot of indie rappers, TonAsh actually has a decent flow and demonstrates some solid rapping ability.

Overall, this track is pretty pimp tight, and the video imagery juxtaposes well with the lyrical content. The frequently reappearing “car” motif serving as a metaphor for TonAsh’s “Go” ethos. Be sure and check out this guy’s social media for updates on his other projects. He has a lot of other musical projects out there in the works.
