Token (rapper)

Benjamin David Goldberg (born September 24, 1998), known professionally as Token, is an American rapper, singer, and record producer from Salem, Massachusetts.

Token gained a massive following after appearing on Sway’s Friday's Fire Cipher and has a catalog of videos on YouTube.

His most recent EP KNOT includes a blend of Boston hip-hop, rap, Indie Pop and drift phonk.

Nonetheless, Hop was impressed - as it would spark a future bond and tour opening spot for Token later on in his career.

He began uploading his content on YouTube after a childhood friend discovered music that he had recorded and encouraged him to create a channel to gain a following.

Wahlberg also helped Token earn a role in the film Patriots Day, of Dzhokhar Tsarnaev's college roommate (Andrew Dwinells of UMass Dartmouth).

Since 2022, Goldberg has released several singles including "I Was In Hollywood", "A Prayer", "Ain't It Funny", "Toy Story", and "SISTER".

In 2023, Goldberg released several different singles, and an EP, this includes "Rockabye Baby", "MAYFLOWER", "ROOKIE" (featuring Suave Lee), "THAT'S WHY THEY LOOK", "GOLDY" and "KNOT".
