[@internationalferg]

Everybody go show Luv to where you are from & everywhere. International Ferg Merch is here!! internationalfergstore.com/ Rep ya hood !!!!

[@jokimaguire5045]

Ferg,you got this done good son,you let us hear it without to much butting in.brilliant my man.Akala is the goat imo,hes a very tallented man all facts,listen to some of his work,you'll enjoy listening to him speak,i can see you going down the Akala rabbit hole,lol.cheers ferg,subbed

[@troybutton935]

You should check low-key and akala both in my opinion the best in UK for lyrics 100

[@shaunm3206]

If America gets to finally hear Akala then this beef will have been worth it. Hes done four. Listen to them in order, people will say go to the 4th its epic. It is. But you see how he got there by doing 2 and 3 before. Please share with everyone you know. He deserves it. This was 11 years ago. Lowkey part one fire in the booth! Bars for weeks in about 8 minutes. Ocean Wisdom x P Money Breathin is the man for flows. His collab with OG PMoney is fairly recent. He has many flows on that. song. He also did a collab with Method Man.

[@internationalferg]

dope i definitely will!! thanks for the information yeah he is a beast and is saying real sh*t

[@jiminykrickit]

Thank you for your reaction mate. I've watched a lot of US reaction videos to UK rappers and this is one of the best. The reason I say that is because you're genuine. You understand the music. That shines through in your video. It's authentic. Keep it up and keep listening to UK / hip hop. We're really proud of our scene and we love sharing it with the world. Liked and subbed

[@internationalferg]

Thanks a lot I really appreciate it 🙏🏾

[@internationalferg]

Is this one of the best Fire in the booth of all time ?

[@krystagreen3094]

Probably one of the most conscious rappers we've got in the UK - part 4 will suck you in

[@internationalferg]

Krysta Green should I react to them in order tho ?

[@krystagreen3094]

probably, unless you're feeling like a "Rebellious ba$tard" 😉 - it's a lyric 😋 you''ll hear it 🇬🇧

[@internationalferg]

Krysta Green definitely imma do them in order everybody saying part 4 tho lol

[@kyleleehufnagel]

I think part 2 is the best. It’s first 4 bars are pretty weak but then it just opens up the and switches it up and down, hits it double time towards the end of the first beat. The message is the strongest of the 4 to be sure and he’s does two different beats. Part 4 has the best flow but this is his best FITB. Dude is legit the best.

[@xslegion2350]

British HipHop used to have such a Conscious Message coupled with a distinctly Dark British hard Delivery, this gained the attention and a huge following of Germans in the 90's, alot of it rare and only found on white Labels and Mixtapes, my favourite U.K rapper of all time and someone that came sometime before Akala (Props) with a huge conscious message was Silent Eclipse aka MCD, The album Psychological Enslavement by Silent Eclipse, is still to this day my favourite Album. I would love to see you pick a couple of tracks from that Album!

[@GarageDoorSports]

Akala da God...look into some of his activism bro, this a deep brotha...he GASSED this freestyle tho

[@internationalferg]

Definitely imma check it out ASAP

[@teefahmichelle5561]

Akala is definitely one of the best artist out, always speaks the truth too. He’s honestly so underrated 😓

[@internationalferg]

Yeah definitely truly talented surprised he is not bigger in the states

[@sebby-d6124]

.Akala toured with Nas and Damian Marley on the Distant Relatives tour....He is like a UK Nas & Pac rolled in one.

[@internationalferg]

SEBBY_D dope was he on that album ?

[@kaka2354]

I’m a big (new-ish) fan of Akala’s music, I never knew that, appreciate that mate

[@collecttcg1122]

Can totally see how Nas and Marley would take interest in Akala... speaks the truth...

[@icecool4125]

Lyrically and content wise it doesn't get better than this

[@miketylerunited4034]

Akala is a god in the UK so you need to do Akala fire in the Booth part 4 respect from the UK

[@danic9304]

The UK has its own history of police brutality; you don't need a gun to injure someone. We have inner city poverty , we have violent crime, racial tensions and economic inequality - the history of racism in the UK is different in many respects to that of the USA, but it is still a factor, and fewer guns does not equate to a more gentle society, just a little less well armed. Akala had a difficult start - he goes into a bit of his story in FitB 2 so I won't spoil any details. Great reaction :) Looking forward to the rest

[@internationalferg]

Dope thanks a lot brother I will definitely check it out and thanks for the game

[@МагжанСыдыков]

Same shit everywhere in the world but they don't let you talk about it. They want you to make profit for them and sit straight with your mouth shut

[@lrnldn6009]

Akala is from west London, same as Fredo and Aj Tracey. He is also highly intelligent and has lectured at university’s, he has published a book called “race and class in the ruins of the empire” He is a scholar! ❤️🇬🇧

[@internationalferg]

Dopeeee

[@zeinabadam958]

@@theghost9409 Camden is extremely diverse too, 105 different language's you'll hear. Hes an independent Artist and doesn't get much radio play hasn't for 10 years hes been an Artist because you can imagine its all exposing the truth and government corruption.

[@Chichistar]

Akala is from Kentish Town very close to Camden Town in London. So happy you discovered him. He an author & has given lectures at Oxford university there videos on KZbin. Lots of love from across the pond 🇬🇧🖤✊🏽🙌🏽

That’s the goal really push it out here!!

[@MichaelSmith-bn6hm]

Akala is a polymath. When you listen to Akala you learn something everytime. He is a teacher he is the real Griot

[@МагжанСыдыков]

Akala is too hard. Harder then f...k. And he is telling the truth. That's why we haven't heard of him. Now my favorite artist. Shout out from Kazakhstan!

[@Super-A.I]

All of his FITB's are amazing & educational for many, see there is so many different artists who have a FITB, there is so many good ones, all dope in their own way, it's impossible to pick one seriously, Some are lyrical some are wavey, some gangsta, all different, Mic Righteous, Lowkey, Akala, Wretch 32, Avelino all went hard in theirs.

[@internationalferg]

word let me ask who is your favorite?

[@Super-A.I]

@@internationalferg It's between Akala, Mic Righteous & Lowkey i can't choose my g lol all sick af 👊🏽

[@internationalferg]

ARTificial Intelligence dopeee I’m excited to head the other guys

[@TigerDan925]

Akala and LOWKEY are very similar. Check out "The return of LOWKEY" WOW! That will knock your sox off. LOWKEY also did fire in the booth.

[@internationalferg]

Thanks a lot and word imma add it in for a reaction. Imma shout you out when I do it

[@TigerDan925]

Yes, Return of the Lowkey is a must-watch! +++

[@rooks4ever]

Well they both live near Grenfell Tower I believe ... one reason why they both spoke quite strongly about it ...

Welcome to the world of Akala mate! Every time you listen you leave with 10 extra IQ points!!

Funny but seemingly true!

[@Russtick92]

"Yo why we never hear these artists man" Because they rap about the truth

[@united46]

Akala has 4 fire in the booth spots. No 2 and 4 are my faves

[@internationalferg]

word thats crazy i will definitely do all !!! this was fire

[@laughingoutloud8612]

International Ferg part 2 🤯

[@EessaTube]

Akala 'Find No Enemy', 'Carried Away' and 'Yours and My Children'.

[@Toupret]

Those three tracks, interlaced with Fela Kuti alternately. (Particularly Opposite People & Water get no enemy) That's a bar heavy mix, but has your heart soar so high... it's nauseating.

[@Dirtyvinyl23]

It shows Akala has sat down and really thought about issues. Man this brother is deep and intellectual and spits knowledge rather than typical trash that has come to be known as modern rap. This type of music just wouldn’t be popular by the music system. Talking killer other blacks will be pushed but type of intellectual rap will never see the light of day because people have been so dumb down with the trash that is popular that they think it’s the norm!

[@jimwest4060]

I had to see this reaction after your Lowkey reaction was Top. This is the real rap, fuck that money cars drugs chicks bs

[@haidee9281]

Watch some of his talks! He’s amazing! What a brain

[@SilvauiFallen]

im from the uk love watching your videos bro

[@Toupret]

In Filipino 'Akala' means 'thought' In Arabic is 'eat' In Nigerian is a bird, Akala(magbo) Vulture. In Sanskrit is improper time. Or... Buddhism: Akala - timeless/ immoveable.

[@johnmalcolm1404]

Lowkey and Mic Righteous are of a similar high standard.

[@internationalferg]

Definitely what is some good songs for them

[@dfnffc]

Mic Righteous fire in the booth part 3 is the one to do bro.

[@thecornedbeefcouncil9792]

Akala is from Kentish Town which is in Camden, London.

[@Downsey1989]

Yall need to check out Lowkey Fire in the booth

[@internationalferg]

Definitely just put it in my notes I will shout you when I do it

[@paulEG8]

i was in america for a few years and i learned a lot. firstly the place is fuckin huge! secondly, there seems to be a lack of cultural awareness. what i mean is alot of americans dont really pay attention to whats going on outside of the states. people in the UK and probably the rest of europe are more cultutally aware.

[@Stigga111]

Incase you didn't know already he's a, poet, rapper (obvz), author, song writer, journalist and abit of a political activist. He lectures at Oxford and has a higher iq than what Oxford and Harvard require. (That's one of his lines in a FITB) owns libraries, businesses and owns his own record label. He's been touring all around the world doing shows but isn't as renown as drake, Eminem or even stormzy. lyrically he's a philosopher in my opinion.

[@JulietteReacts]

Amazing isn't he? Really hope you do the other parts especially part 4

[@internationalferg]

Yeah he is madd good I hear 4 is crazy I’m wondering should I do it in order. What do you think ?

[@JulietteReacts]

@@internationalferg viewers would definitely like you to watch it in order cause you can see his growth as an artist and work your way up to the best one - part 4. Just fyi - he performs two pieces in part 1 and part 4 (so don't switch off early!)

[@markberry9676]

Wretch 32 fire in the booth watch that!! Kills it

[@haidee9281]

His sister is Ms Dynamite, she is 🔥 Akala is getting more known now but been making music ten years or more

[@jackbanks4532]

Casisdead - 'The Code', 'Drugs don't Work.', 'Walking.'

[@RuffneckBizniz]

Akala is the Don and a very well intellectual rapper, the radio won't play him cos he speaks too much truth!

[@MsBabylove11]

BTW lowkey, akala, mic righteous & English frank were all part of the peoples army..... so each one has a similar conscious rap style and obviously like you said in the lowkey reaction.... These sort of artists tend to be blackballed by the mainstream sadly, 😔 or at least until they get so big that the labels can't ignore them anymore which was pretty hard b4 we had KZbin and all 4 are older artists now.... Probably why Dave managed to break through because he's younger? 🤔
