Conversations with Tonk Wit Tha Gift

Today we’d like to introduce you to Tonk Wit Tha Gift.

Hi Tonk Wit Tha Gift, we’re thrilled to have a chance to learn your story today. So, before we get into specifics, maybe you can briefly walk us through how you got to where you are today?
I was born in a small town in Florida called Belle Glade, Florida in the middle of the slums surrounded by poverty, drug dealing, drug addiction and untimely death. I was always observant of the street life, looking up to the most unnecessary people and eventually became a product of my environment because I was fatherless until I found Christ Jesus and grew strong mentally. I was raised in a musical family and I was always obsessed with heartfelt music.

Plus, I shared a room with my brother who’s rapped since we were kids and even gained fame in the neighborhood, but then I met a prophet in 2014. I never met this guy but he told me I was going to rap for the Lord Jesus and the most ruthless people’s lives will be changed through my lyrics, and after those lyrics started to come to me quickly but I’d never been to the studio until I met a rapper who goes by the name of YNW Melly,” and I helped him spiritually while he helped me naturally, I recorded my first song in 2018 and by the end of 2019 I was featured on his major-label album and I have lots more coming very soon, I currently have four music videos out and songs on all platforms wit nonstop art to follow it.

We all face challenges, but looking back would you describe it as a relatively smooth road?
It has but it isn’t like I miss my son. I left him in Florida until I got established so it’s been hard to cope mentally and emotionally but physically and financially. I’m making all the right connections to get to the next level. I love the unity here so yes, it’s been kind of smooth. I’d say 8/10 it depends on your grind and presentation.

Thanks – so what else should our readers know about your work and what you’re currently focused on?
I’m a visual artist/rapper. I’m known for being featured on YNW Melly’s Latest Major Label Album “Melly vs. Melvin” I’m most proud of sticking to the gospel message I minister in my music and making GOD proud, what sets me apart from others is I don’t make music for you to listen to; I make music for you to see and feel.

What matters most to you?
Changing the lives of thugs, robbers, murderers and prostitutes, and encouraging them to glorify The Lord Jesus through whatever talent or artistic ability they have, because I was once a Gangsta and God saved my life and I want everyone to feel what I feel.
