The beats boom on a grandiose level and the lyrical flow resonates with an indelible presence…that’s the signature style you can expect to hear when you take in a track by Washington native, A.R Tokin.
Inspired at an early age by such hip-hop luminaries as Ludacris and Snoop Dogg, A.R Tokin has long upheld music “as a ray of light at the end of the tunnel” and he has channeled his artistic inclinations to help him persevere through an arduous childhood and the ensuing trials and tribulations that have occurred throughout his life.
Never losing sight of his love and dedication to his craft, A.R Tokin has gone on to establish a flourishing professional music career which has seen the talented rapper and recording artist drop a bevy of tracks along with 3 full-length albums in building up a fortified catalog of hip-hop bangers such as “Hotsauce” and “Gamble”. Another beast amongst this collection of certified smashes is a single titled “Cyber Cipher” which is the spotlight of today’s article.
“Cyber Cipher” is definitely that as A.R Tokin vocally attacks the instrumental like it’s a full-blown cipher with a cutting-edge, precise flow that dazzles with a compelling mix of intricate wordplay, metaphors and swift punchlines. Yes indeed! That’s the level of muscle that “Cyber Cipher” brings to the table and that fact has not gone unnoticed by global music listeners as the single has placed #28 on the U.K. Apple Music Top 40 Hip-Hop Charts, an incredible feat for an unsigned artist. The charts placement is a testament to the grind that A.R Tokin puts into his artistry and ultimately reflects how much “Cyber Cipher” has resonated with the people.
A.R Tokin shares in further detail what sparked the creation of “Cyber Cipher”, “this a song about the come up. Coming from poverty drug addiction and finally getting clean and sober April 10, 2021, almost a year later, through hard work dedication and a love for the craft me and my longtime producer E.P Beats have managed to break into the top 40 U.K Hip Hop Charts as a team. This song will motivate you to put in the hard work and make your dreams a Reality”.
The track’s production features a menacing mystique that is led by a potent bass drum and 808 that stands out front and center across the soundscape, while the underlying melodies, phrases and vocal interpolations/samples bring out the musicality in the track which distinguishes it from its peers in the genre.
As mentioned above, A.R Tokin meets the high standard that the instrumentation sets with a dynamic vocal performance that projects a commanding presence and displays his vocal dexterity as he seamlessly switches his cadence and timbre on a dime to convey whatever the lyrical content dictates. These are factors which will lead to “Cypher Cyber” continuing to make waves in the industry.

More About A.R Tokin
A.R Tokin is a man on a mission like no other. The Washington native started this twisty journey as a child left in awe by the words of legendary emcees such as Snoop Dogg and Ludacris. The fragility of his childhood would find a way to break as he and his friends grew older. Tokin would soon see his friends succumb to drug addiction, suicide, and other vices over the years, which left him with a tremendous amount of stress and pressure. When all hope seemed lost, music appeared as a ray of light at the end of the tunnel.
After meeting his homies Dutchy aka Dutchybeats, Munchino aka Chino and Kaycee aka Soul taker, he began recording music and joined the Staten Island based music group M.V.L.L. Lifes hard knocks sent him around the country honing his skills and never leaving behind the dream he continued writing. He soon poured in all of his resources, effort, and passion into creating timeless hip-hop records that helped him cope with life and would soon help other do the same. He would eventually team up with his longtime producer, E.P, and grow exponentially in a creative sense. “If I make it, they make it. [I’m] loyal to the end.” Building a solid team and working together, Tokin is determined to spread the love and hope music gave him to as many who are willing to listen!
