Futile Endeavors

I have never met a young kid as passionate about hip hop as Toska. Okay, I know what you're thinking, "What the heck is a Toska?"
Toska is a hip hop artist, from outside Providence, Rhode Island. He's only 18 years old and already working on so much. Just one project he is working on is his second mix-tape, Futile Endeavors, which will be released on December 6th. It will be available for digital download and information about that can be  found here, but hard copies will also be made available at locations (in Massachusetts and Rhode Island) that will be tweeted, so follow Toska @ToxGoonWoof if you want to know more about that.
Toska put out his first mix-tape, Hide Rosetta, when he was just in High School. One of my favorite songs from Hide Rosetta is a song called "Pill" which I attached below. Toska also put together a charity show, which benefitted the St. Jude Children's Hospital. There aren't many young adults that coordinate something to benefit others like that, especially while they're still in High School.

Toska graduated from Portsmouth High School in June, and while he's working on the release of his second mix-tape, Futile Endeavors, he is also working on his first EP, Survival and Other Vices. Which will feature his popular song "Gadzooks!". 

There are only a few days left until Futile Endeavors is released, and there is a lot to look forward to! "Take Your Life Away" is one of the songs that will be on this mix-tape, and the music video for that was released this September. The video was directed by another Portsmouth High School graduate, Kelsey Garcia.  
My personal favorite song on this mix-tape is "Undead Dances." Which will be the next single released from Futile Endeavors. The music on this mix-tape isn't the only art to it, the cover was also hand drawn by artist, Greg Crimmins.  
Just a few more days until Futile Endeavors is officially released, and I can barely wait another minute.
