@_toastofficial_ Releases New Single 'The One'

Malawian Hip-Hop artist and fast-rising star, Gomezgani Kambwiri, popularly known as Toast kickstarted the year with his new single, ‘The One’.

‘The One’ follows up from Toast's previous song ‘Flew Away’, which served as his continuation of his musical journey and long-running in the game.

Toast had since left fans in dying aspiration of new music for several months. The rapper stated that he was away in Kenya, focusing on his studies and that the decision to release new music would come at the right time when he is ready. Without waiting any longer, Toast finally answered the message from his fans and decided it was time to put out a new song.

Last week Sunday, he took to social media to tease a preview of his now new song and asked fans to design an artwork for it and in return, the best one would get paid. Many came through but only a few came out on top to be selected. It was LVCCI (@msasujnr) who delivered the best.

"I posted earlier that I wanted someone to do an artwork for me and we chose my guy LVCCI. Thanks for taking your time to send me artworks, unfortunately, there can only be one we can use. I contacted LVCCI personally and sent him a little something for his work. I think it’s bout time everyone eats," he wrote.

While discussing his new project, Toast described it as a ‘self-realization’ type of music. In the way of improving his worth and own image as a person, as well as an artist and not trying to be in competition with anyone else but himself, he sings:

"I feel like ain't nobody but me owe me a better life / That's why everything that I do I gatta do it right / I feel like ain't nobody but me owe me a better life / Coz that's the most important thing I had to say it twice…”

"It's helped me better to understand myself as a musician. I feel like now I am more comfortable integrating Chichewa and English into one and making a good song", Toast explained.

He added; "I needed to take time to concentrate on other things. Apart from music, focusing on finishing my school, that's why I feel like I took time a bit. But now, I'm releasing it because I feel like a lot of people still need more sound and I can't just go silent like that".

Toast is well-known for his playful delivery of rap skills and flows in both English and vernac. Through his prowess, he has grown to be recognized as one of the top “head-hitters" of the game.

‘The One’ is mixed and mastered by ChuxTpat$ePlan and produced by Zap.
