AKALA is something special, not just for us here in the UK, but for the world. This boy is just different gravy, and I ain’t just talking about his rapping and bars. His intellectual ability and his consciousness is just unparalleled He is truly the best of British. I know you’ve reacted to FITB part 4, but if you react again please listen to him and Charlie, last time you skipped a lot but if you listen to the context of things it will make so much more sense, 👍

Check Akala - 'CarriedAway'. Is a track/song, not FiTB. Is a deeply powerful, as always w/Akala, emotive song pertinent to any nation; trust me brother, chills. You absolutely MUST watch the video, it graphically mirrors the theme, tells such a story! Really enjoy yr work, man, I can see how yr ear's accustomed itself to Akala, like you said, you pretty much got him. Keep them coming, brother. UK love. Peace.

Cliff, thanks so much for taking time to come back to Akala when you were ready and not just dismiss him as you didn't get the accent. Much respect. I was one of the people who said you shouldn't of gone straight into part 4 as it takes a while to get used too. Funny thing is we learnt the American slang for the last 30 years. I'm glad too see Americans finally realising there is so much more talent in the world not just the states. Peace to you Bro.

Bro, I appreciate you sharing your story. I had the same thing happen to me. I did what I did because I was fresh out of college, drowning in debt, & got laid off from a decent job. Giving me a felony, fining me 10x of what I got popped for, & years of probation. It got wayy worse until I got lucky & was gifted a great job. That situation radicalized me in a big way. Akala & Lowkey became huge inspirations after I read about the things in their lyrics.

Is it “Akala Music”? Out of curiosity because you would know better than me…how many of these lyrics do you think is off the top of the head? Honestly if it was all pre-written I wouldn’t care at all because that was so awesome. I’d be impressed with the memory of course haha. I’m just wondering how you would compare the spontaneous-ness of this to say, a Harry Mack Omegle bars vid…

Great reaction and really interesting to hear your take and personal experience. Good idea getting your UK ear in before doing more Akala; I don't feel he has much of an accent compared to some rappers but he uses a fair bitta, diverse slang (patois to cockney rhyming), innit. BTW if you get 'shit' from Brits, please do take it with a pinch of salt (do y'all use that phrase?!) as we 'take the piss' out of people we like, but some of the ways we express ourselves can come across harsh to the uninitiated. Peace

As a black man int he uk with ambition. Akala was my inspiration. One of the few examples showing a different way. I saw him live, his speakers stopped working and he did a freestyle acapella and it was exactly as it sounds on KZbin. Unreal. His lyrics are beyond rap or music. In my opinion no one is in his level. Lowkey is close maybe but no. This man.
