I know there's a Toto version of Africa, But I heard a different version on the radio and I really liked it!

Question

It began with the "Gonna take me alot to drag me away from you" bit and it had some rap style parts in it.

It isn't the Jojo - Anything one, I tried that..I don't really know if it's the Howie Day version because the ones on YouTube are users singing it and I can't really tell.

Please Help I've Been Searching For Ages!!

Is it possible you heard "Song for Africa" It has some rap elements and is a charitable effort by a bunch of artists for relief in Africa. But I don't think it sounds like the Toto song.

Othewise, I'd guess you heard a "cover" version perhaps from a local artist. Let us kow the station and city and maybe we can track it down. Or you can call or email the station yourself. Use a search engine - they're great!
