Florida Rapper Tokyo’s Revenge Breaks Out With His Viral Hit “Goodmorningtokyo!”

South Florida-based rapper TOKYO’S REVENGE is breaking out with “GOODMORNINGTOKYO!,” a viral hit that has received a major boost from TikTok. It’s been a mainstay on the Spotify US Viral 50 since entering the chart on December 9, racking up more than 20 million plays on the streaming platform.

The TikToks are based around the opening lines from the chorus:

Nigga don’t like me, kill me right now, uh
Otherwise, nigga, pipe down, uh (Bitch, bitch)
Y'all niggas rap too loud, nigga (Y'all niggas rap too loud, yeah)
Shh, what’s that sound? Uh (What’s that sound? Yeah)

Over one million TikToks have been made with the official audio for the Cliiifford-produced “GOODMORNINGTOKYO!” since it became a meme last month. As of publishing, the song has totaled more than 670,000 Genius pageviews and it remains in the Top 10 of Genius' Top Songs chart.

In early December, the song started blowing up on Genius when it crossed 500 daily pageviews for the first time. On December 9, “GOODMORNINGTOKYO!” reached 10,000 daily pageviews and it hasn’t dipped below that number since then, peaking at 26,466 daily pageviews on December 28.

Although the track’s exponential growth has slightly dropped off, it remains a consistent performer. After averaging nearly 15,000 daily pageviews in December, the track has held steady this month with a current average of 17,000 daily pageviews.

Prior to going viral on TikTok, TOKYO was already receiving attention from tastemaking platforms like ELEVATOR, which featured “GOODMORNINGTOKYO!” on its YouTube channel in September.

To his chagrin, the young artist has also gained attention from comparisons to South Florida rappers like the late XXXTentacion and Ski Mask the Slump God, due to his cathartic lyrics and sometimes yelling delivery. In an Instagram Live session, however, TOKYO explained that he is mainly influenced by Denzel Curry.

Ultimately, the success of “GOODMORNINGTOKYO!” has given a spotlight to TOKYO’s other material. His more recent song, “THOT!,” has also become a TikTok hit, sitting at nearly 6 million Spotify streams.
