Tom Jameson PT he's just in a league of his own, in my books one of the greatest of all time, but it's so sad just how massively his genius is slept on in today's rap scene, and that's because his message is just too conscious and deep for the average rap fan.

But Akala took his life by the throat and persued his dream to reach out to the world as a linguist, as a true generational hero. A role model. He will be immortalised through history. He's done and is doing too much for society already! Watch him on question time, destroying politicians. An honest and true genius. Respect

Uncle Akala, the FlowFather You already know that I’m smarter than Arthur The darker the shit get, harder I spit yet Fools want to act like they can’t get a quick death How many careers have been ended In the time that I’ve only ascended? Just telling things how they are Now why would the truth be offensive? I was independent when everybody signed Still independent, respect my grind Own my own masters, know what that mean? Understand back catalogue or are you green, seen? Means that my kids have a pension I ain’t got kids just thought I would mention See my intention, mangle a mention Murder a syllable and strangle a sentence Stand to attention, all of your henchmen Still couldn’t bench him, cause he’s too heavyweight brethren Like old school jungle selection, come through humble a veteran Ten years since the first album Ten years no daytime radio Ten years still touring that's real supporters We all know why they don’t play me though I’m that rapper, rap about matters that actually matter Challenging power, what? Every single tour is ten percent more Now why do you think that happens? Content matters, albums matter Songs they matter, lyrics they matter Integrity matters, flows it matter It’s word to Skiba we deal with the matter No industry hype Just write what I like It’s the Steve Biko with a mic This iron mike, I am Mike wouldn't like[?] Cause a fight is a roll of the dice Like rolling on knives Organs openly sliced Cold, I told you the price Colder than ice, nah Colder than life Living in a warzone, hold my advice Take shortcuts, get cut short Long road hard road but more sure Road tour that I’m doing at the end of the year Should make all this clear Some only get visibility Some silly fool called me a failure I smiled to myself, these times I was on a plane to Australia Sold out shows on the other side of the globe But fools only know what’s in front of their nose So they stunt, pose but they can’t sell shows ‘Cause their music is poo and they got no flow, I know You might be astonished Dog shit cannot be polished No matter how you push it on the public, son You cannot make them love it, son You know how many rappers can pack out a venue at Addis Ababa Guess what? It was the only one Bob Marley ever did play in Africa You write raps, I write history On the page and quite literally An elder statesman to my own generation An inspiration cause the flows that I came with Is a solo play by Miles Davis Who don’t know he’s the greatest?

Seen this guy live back in Exeter in 2007 and he just blew me away with his lyrics, delivery and performance, followed him musically and politically since and have so much respect for this guy, real talking modern artist with serious integrity. Big up Akala!
