Florida University honours TOK

International dancehall group TOK has officially been honoured for their contribution to the reggae and dancehall community.

Held at the prestigious Nova University in Florida, the group was only informed that they would participate in a motivational forum for the students and a welcoming concert for those returning from their summer holidays, but to their obvious surprise, there was more to the night than just that.

At the end of their speech and question/answer interaction with the students, the group was presented with a plaque for their "Outstanding contribution to the reggae/dancehall industry and the Jamaican culture" which was cheered on by the entire auditorium (students and professors alike).

All four members were pleasantly surprised.

"This is a testament to the hard work that we and others like us put in and we are extremely humbled by this accomplishment. Give thanks to all our supporters over the years ... it's all of you who keep us solid as a rock," stated Roshaun 'Bay-C' Clarke.
