Torae "100% Torae" (Mix by DJ Stickmand)


This is Brooklyn Radio's DJ Stickmand paying tribute to Coney Island's own, Torae. 100% Torae features nearly 30 joints from Tor's 10+ year catalog. Torae is the true concept of a ‘renaissance man’ -- rapper, radio personality, host, entrepreneur, actor and more. Taking on a fast-food job in his teenage years to cover studio costs, Torae’s investment in his music career paid off in 2007 when he dropped his breakthrough mixtape Daily Conversation. That release led to him going on his first tour the same year and set up his collaborative studio album debut Double Barrel, with producer Marco Polo on Duck Down Records in 2009. Shortly after he released his solo debut album For The Record and his follow-up sophomore LP Entitled. Torae has since released a collaborative EP with Praise entitled "All Praises Due" in 2018, which I highly recommend. Torae is celebrating his Born Day today, so give him a shout-out and listen to DJ Stickmand's 100% Torae mix below...
