Today, Boston-based rapper Token, known for the razor sharp wordplay, head-spinning verbal acrobatics, and off-kilter hooks that have established him as an outlier in hip-hop, shares his new album I’m Leaving Soon via his own label Never Too Different. The record features heavy hitters .idk., Pouya, jev, Lil Darkie, Sxmpra, Connor Price, Kxllswxtch, and more. Token has also just announced his fall us tour, all dates below. Watch a new video for today’s focus track “RRN ft. Pouya” at 12pm ET today here, and listen to  I’m Leaving Soon here.

Legacy is what’s left when faced with your own mortality. Token—born Ben Goldberg—understands the weight of life and death and everything in between. A self-proclaimed introvert, Token found himself in a contemplative position while writing this record. Riding the momentum of his highest success (2025 album I’m Not Supposed To Be Here), he received a series of abnormal blood tests and doctor visits. On I’m Leaving Soon, Token is going for the jugular with an album of a rebirth and a self-evaluation in hand.

Of this dual state, Token says it “had me wondering: will this moment be leaving soon? And writing this album I was also wondering if I will be leaving soon.” 

Throughout its 20 tracks, Token maneuvers the heaviness of fame and white privilege while childhood trauma and angst-turned-rage seeps poison into adulthood. On “Methane Gas,” Token maintains his trademark semiautomatic delivery, with bars akin to sharpened daggers piercing your abdomen. Token links up with Lil Darkie for “Locomotive” Parts 1 & 2, a chaotic pairing with a similar efect to the original (now discontinued for being too dangerous) Four Loko. The album’s production is as if $uicideboy$ and ThreeSixMafia collided with an industrial swing.

Token began producing tracks in his rapid-fire style when he was in high school; in 2015 his breakthrough “No Sucka MC’s” surpassed 1 million views online, after which he expanded his audience with a performance on Sway in the Morning SiriusXM. XXL christened it “one of the year’s best freestyles, if not one of the best performances ever on Sway’s legendary show. ”

In 2016, he dropped his first mixtape Eraser Shavings, followed by 2018’s Between Somewhere. Generating 100 million-plus streams, it also spawned anthems including “YouTube Rapper” [feat. Tech N9ne], “Household Name, ” and “Flamingo.” Token then went to work assembling 2022’s Pink Is Better, released under his own label Never Too Different and Atlantic records. The major label debut included features from JID, Rico Nasty, Benny The Butcher and Lil Skies. He’s since embarked on headline tours throughout North America and Europe. Last year, he released I’m Not Supposed To Be Here, his most personal album yet, which won Album of the Year at the Boston Music Awards.

Amidst all of his success, he’s landed sync placements in the Fast & Furious franchise, Scoob!, Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater, Madden, and Dhurandhar The Revenge, which has become one of the highest-grossing Indian films of all time. He also recently released a collab with Emiway Bantai who’s one of the biggest rappers in India.

Having surpassed 6 million monthly listeners, Token has firmly established himself as more than the lyrical freestyle sensation he first emerged as. Today, he stands as a fully realized artist whose music continues to resonate deeply with fans worldwide. I’m Leaving Soon is Token’s most complete work to date, with no signs of slowing down. Full bio here.
