Toney Parka is out to prove that Hip Hop is more than fast cars and fast rhymes. Born amongst the hustle and bustle of Baltimore’s streets, Parka held on to Hip Hop for dear life. Hip Hop became for him a fervent fortress. Parka is a graduate of Tuskegee University, an advocate of true Hip Hop, and a dedicated father.
A true 'man of the people', Toney is the Director of the Saturday Arts Academy (www.wblinc.org), which provides comprehensive arts based activities for Washington DC youth and he also volunteers at an area schools in Maryland where he has initiated a Mentoring through the Arts program.
ToneyP is hard at work promoting his upcoming freshman debut, The Movement: Unifying the Masses. The album’s heavy title captures the content of Parka’s music perfectly. His lyrics expose the truths behind today’s Hip Hop in an attempt to elevate the thoughts of Hip Hop supporters everywhere. However, an in-tune listener recognizes that The Movement is not just a sound. The Movement is a mission for the unification of the Hip Hop community, as opposed to its separation.
If The Movement were a country, its nation’s capital would be all communities with respect for Hip Hop. Its motto would be Self-Respect, Unity, and Empowerment. And its citizens would be all artists, fans and businessmen/women with an agenda to uplift the Hip Hop culture. The Movement: Unifying the Masses is due for release in 2008.
If that's not enough for you, Mr. Parka has teamed up with Montreal based clothing line Never Deny Growth (www.endigee.com) for a 'digital only' release of his EP entitled Destiny or Temptation. This release will soon be available via iTunes.
As you can see, Toney Parka is determined to have a positive influence on the worldwide Hip Hop community. With that said, Toney has joined the 4Real.com community in order to connect & build with like minded people/organizations. Feel free to contact Toney directly or get in touch with his label (Ayize Inc) via www.ayizeconsulting.com.

Respect the Culture!
