UK HIP HOP - AKALA - FITB PART 1 - REACTION

[@edmundreid6593]

Akala is the most underrated lyricist on planet earth.

[@thegobsheet3054]

True, the radios won’t play his music though he’s censored, he wouldn’t be underrated 👊

[@amygray3854]

I’m ashamed to say I’m from the uk and I’ve only recently listened. My bad x

[@ShortsYouNeed98]

He’s most definitely one of the greatest ever. His bars are like story could listen to him all day

[@sayagain3524]

Lowkey too

[@ktwine7994]

Na all the real heads know about his greatness.

[@kylesmcl]

Akala really does deliver every time. Without fail.

[@SamuelPerryBasildon]

I love it when you're on your UK stuff man, been a supporter for time keep it up man you entertain me for real ✌

[@ianparker2867]

Me too bro, Stevie Knight reviews are pure 🔥🔥, I was just saying to another guy on these comments that I still want him to react to the Swiss Daily Duppy given what went on in the US fairly recently, and the fact it is loaded with bars, and also the Ghetts mad about bars drop with Kenny, which is mad 🔥🔥, you seen them?

[@MikeRc87]

Would agree with both them tunes to react too 👍🏼

[@porksidewarrior]

Love seeing appreciation for Akala ,the man is the GOAT,top reaction man ,peace

[@darrylpeake518]

You prob dont read these comments, but take a look/listen to a UK M.C called Harry Shotta, broke EMs record for the most words spoken, he started out as a UK hip hop MC, now hes killing the Drum & Bass scene, well worth a listen.

[@SamuelPerryBasildon]

@@darrylpeake518 Harry Shotta is a beast, been a fan of him since his 2008 dnb bars

[@nthnhbsn1909]

Akala is a serious intellectual and a genuinely incredible lyricist.

[@Thedaveytube]

Yes!!! Akala dropping straight knowledge 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@1oldhaj416]

Big up Steve for this one. This makes the hair on my body stand up every time I hear it!! One of the best fire in the booths ever

Yes! Thanks for listening to the Akala Request!! Please do Low-key and Devlin and Kano and Ghetts!!!

[@fr9874]

I have heard this track so many times, I can almost recite it word for word, one of the greatest Fire in the Booths! real, positive lessons from Akala, stuff they don't teach you in no school, suppressed knowledge. everybody should be exposed to Akala's music.

[@wiseup250]

I listen to this daily...it's an education 👌🏻

[@harrisonenglish5294]

The further through the reaction I get the more I respect his catch of the bars and UK flow!!! This guys catches 3 times more than anyone else!!!

[@TheMurphy331]

DO MORE UK REACTIONS! bro you know how talented our mc's are and they don't get the recognition deserved. Fire reaction steve 🔥🇬🇧

[@marchamill8530]

Akala is a source of knowledge and one of the most intelligent and talented guys in the UK. I even watch his seminars where he teaches at universities. A man like him needs to be listened to. Knowledge is Power. Great reaction Man. 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@alexanderhowcroft8779]

This is my favourite freestyle of all time. Akala goes to a lot of schools to teach and coach kids. He a genuine dude. Really captivating when he gives speeches. Theres a great section of one where he asks the audience if its rappers or Shakespeare. Fantastic

[@joseph1980.]

Also teaches at Oxford University

[@alexjones4186]

It was in his tedtalk which was really good 👌

[@aaronpell8760]

Akala if you don't know get to know famalam

[@kiddkaos1]

A lot of guys here will recommend low-key and maybe mic righteous/wreckless on the same level as Akala. I would also recommend checking out some of Taskforce's and High Focus's stuff. You might like Chester P if you like Akala. There's decades worth of UK hip hop that never really took off, it's such a shame. Mystro too... Dr Syntax, Skinny man, Stig of the Dump, Kashmere, Wordsmith... I could write you a long list of great guys but I recommend starting somewhere here.

[@sambasquad10]

I'm from the UK and a Akala fan, love that you love it and you are HILARIOUS

[@1981druss]

As someone who really listens to the person you're reacting to. I promise you right now, after listening to Akala, your life will never be the same again!!!!!!. part 1,2 and 3 are on another level but part 4.....................................omfg i would literally pay to see your reaction to that!!!!!!!!!!!!! Part 4 will touch your soul in ways no other artist ever has I promise you!!!!! But don't stop there!!!!! To truly grasp what an exceptionable individual this man is, please check out his lectures too.

[@LlamaWorm2k11]

He's already done pt.4 bro 👍 But you can still pay me for letting you know if you want ahahaha

[@jackalexander8842]

Been listening to Akala since I was 13, that’s 20 years now, my sister has been to a show of his and met him I’m too jealous I missed out! New Years resolution will be to finally hear this man speak!

[@gregrot]

Brother, I've waited a long time to see you do this reaction, I knew you'd buzz off it. Akala is the real thing, intelligent, socially conscious and a top notch lyricist.Thank you for the reaction, Happy Christmas.

[@jadeybee4867]

I am beyond happy that someone is recognising Akala for once! He's the brother of Ms Dynamite also! I've been a fan since I was a young teen. I'm in my late 20s now. Also look at Akala - Comedy, Tragedy, History. I'm from the UK also. Please cover Lady Leshur if you can. Both Akala and Lady Leshur deserve SOOO much more recognition. Lady Leshur is from birmingham - which isn't far from me. She doesn't swear and doesn't chat about irrelevant stuff either. xx

[@My_Toy_Soldiers]

Oh this shit bout to be lit. Akala is the truth

[@richiehall4832]

[@jimmystaddon4252]

yes bro now you are onto an artist!!!!!!!! thieves banquet and absolute power are a MUST

[@incredulous1]

Dude, these reaction videos are ten a penny, but you genuinely hit it every time. Shit's rough right now with just hearing the passing of doom, but listening to you hearing akala is special... There's a few that challenge him with flow (mic righteous, ocean wisdom, English Frank) but nobody touches him for intelligence and enlightenment. All the best to you Mr Knight and keep that shit flowing

You reacting to the uk rap/grime seen just works so well man. I think you would really vibe with English franks catalog. English frank - 100 bars of truth 1,2,3 are all powerful and worth the listen but I would start with he’s fire in the booth. He from south London but now lives in spain flipping houses. Even if you listen in your own time you will appreciate the flows, word play, rhyming schemes and most of all the real ness. Peace from the uk

Akala and Lowkey. The two realest rappers in the UK. Speaking truth to power and trying to educate all the time

[@danic9304]

Yay! That was great. The line about reading Malcolm aged 9 was a bit of a flex on how clever he is but was also pointing out the way the education system makes / made assumptions about his capabilities based on race, because despite clearly being bright and literate the teachers still put him in groups with children who couldn't speak English.
