FILES

Description

Malawian rapper Toast MW officially steps into his prime with the release of his debut album, Files — a bold and introspective collection that opens the vault to his personal and artistic journey. From raw stories of the grind to moments of love, loss, and elevation, every track on Files feels like a document — a "file" of emotion, experience, and truth. Built on the foundation of hip-hop but layered with Afro-fusion, trap, and soulful melodies, Toast doesn't just rap — he narrates. Each song explores a different side of his life: the streets that raised him, the battles he fought, the people he lost, and the wins he’s celebrated. With a lyrical style that’s sharp, bilingual (English & Chichewa), and real, Toast delivers verses that hit hard and stay with you. Featuring collaborations with some of Malawi’s finest and a few surprise international voices, Files is more than an album — it’s a testimony. A declaration that Toast is no longer just a rising voice in the scene — he’s one of the most important storytellers of this generation. Whether you’re vibing to the hard-hitting bangers or connecting to the emotional deep cuts, Files gives you something real to hold on to. It’s Toast’s story — file by file.
