TOBi Brings His Childhood Influences Onstage
- TOBi performed his Juno-nominated single Who's Driving You? live with Jully Black and Socrates joining him on stage for the first time.
- TOBi recalled hearing their voices in his mom's car at age 10 and described the moment as surreal validation of the originals' influence.
Unexpected Sampling Validates Musical Legacy
- Jully Black and Socrates learned TOBi unknowingly chose their original recording purely because he liked the beat, not to deliberately sample them.
- Socrates highlighted how that random selection feels like the universe validating their earlier work's longevity.
Extending Bridges Preserves Black Music Legacy
- Jully Black emphasized that older artists need opportunities too, since legacy creators predate social media-driven metrics.
- She framed TOBi's inclusion as extending a bridge to celebrate Black music's history and sustain careers beyond streams and likes.
