Token (Rapper) Bio, Age, Height, Weight, Net Worth, and Family Facts

At the top of the rap music industry, there are very few big names that dominate so much that you can hardly hear some of the young ones that still come from below. One of them, who is on his way to the mainstream, is a rapper you’ve probably never heard of, Token.

Although he has been rapping since the age of 13 in 2012, he started out as a professional rapper much later and has been enjoying growing popularity since 2015, after the release of his single “No Sucka Mcs Contest”.

Token (Rapper) Bio and Age

In the rap community and among fans he is known as Token, but the rapper was born on September 24, 1998, in Boston as Ben Goldberg. There he was also raised by his parents with his sister, whose marriage later ended when Token was in the fourth grade.

As he grew up, the young Goldberg had a serious anger problem, and he would explode at the slightest provocation. In fact, as a first-grader, he was suspended from school after fighting with a teacher and yelling at him. It was this anger that drew him to hip-hop, which then offered him a kind of therapeutic cure.

By the time he was in sixth grade, Token and his friends were already recording songs on his Mac and selling them around. Together with Colin Mitchell, they worked on some songs that were later heard by Jon Glass of Glasshouse Productions, who continued to help them with their music while keeping an eye on their academic performance.

In 2013, when he was only 13 years old, Token rapped in public for the first time. On that day, Hopsin had finished his performance, and as he was signing autographs, the young child stepped forward without planning it. Without fear of embarrassing himself in front of the more experienced rapper, whom he considers an idol, and the many children around him, he skillfully dropped his lines.

After he finished, he received some encouragement and also advice from the older hip-hop star. For Token it became a night of his life, even if it was not a stage performance in front of a very large audience.

He continued to do what he did best, and in 2015 he made his big breakthrough with his video for the No Sucka Mcs Contest.

Through the video, he met actor Mark Wahlberg, who contacted him, and the two became friends. The actor gave him his first acting chance on Patriots Day (2016).

Next, Token received calls from labels and also for touring opportunities. So far he has more than 30 songs in his name that do good, including “Doozy” with over 8 million hits on YouTube, and “Patty Cake” with over 5 million hits on YouTube so far.
