Lyrically there is no match. The content, the delivery, the intelligence, the presence, the charisma, the balls to spit about political relevant matters. Akala is one of the greatest in the game
Ice Cool the greatest *
Don't forget lowkey too they are the best
There is an alliance of minds I think, Lowkey, Akala, Tec9, Rage Against the Machine. Akala is pretty badass though.
People always lookin for the "real rappers" but deny Akala is the realest in the game💯
Akala is god mc of the uk he up there with nas makes my top deod or alive, the man is an inspiration watched his interviews and lecture he is one enlightened young man
Akala not only is one of the greatest minds the UK will ever produce, but he taught me through music about the true history of human beings and MUCH more, this man is more than musician, more than a rapper.
Ultrix you fuck wit
deltatoofow wasteman! LOL
hear that bro safe fam.. fuck the haters..
Akala is just absurdly persistent. He's been persistently working on the art of rhymes and flows, and every fire in the booth & his work over the years has just been better. Respect.
Zami Hossain what's more important is the message he's been pushing
Consistent
Scary to think 13 years ago he was rapping on some gangsta rap tip. The videos are still up on youtube.
The people who don't like him are the people who can't swallow the truth. He says nothing but realness and you still seem to find a reason to hate, because he has the balls to speak up on things you'd coward away from? The man is veteran in the scene, very intelligent and even has his own hip-hop shops for kids who need a help in hand in the music industry.
Salute to you Akala.
yes man you know !
Real talk.
J's Supreme he is quite blatantly biased. But he's one of the smartest in the game.
Very smart guy no doubt, shame he tries to focus too much on this race baiting crap all the time though.
What do you mean race baiting crap? Something that affects me and you every single day of our life and you're calling it crap! You'd prefer him talking about drugs money and women...
FIRE!!!
CharlieSloth akala fire in the booth part 5?? Akala and low-key together??
Some Boi Akala !!
@@Lukeey420 shiiiiiiiiiiit that'd be wicked
in the booth
I know my knowledge on the grime scene isn't great - but this guy is probably the best out there. It really upsets me to see people hating on Akala and what he stands for because in this day and age it takes a lot to go out there and speak your mind. Like it or not, this guy has opened up a lot of eyes to the system and the state of society and it is important to have people like him in this world. The hate really does disheartens me ... I guess the truth hurts some people, but it can set you free...
Consider it a compliment. A certain quality of "human being" isn't supposed to be able to like and appreciate certain things.
He's a hip hop artist of anything
He ain't grime
Akala makes real music with deep meaning, no grime anywhere near here.
He occasionally does Grime and there's nothing wrong with that. But yeah he's primarily Hip Hop.
I don't usually listen to rap but when i do, I listen to people like #Akala #Lowkey #immortaltechnique #RageAgainsttheMachine Etc
I don't usually leave comments either, but when i do its for people like #Akala
Respect my brother you are one in a Billion.
the most intelligent man to ever grace the music scene. We are so blessed to have Akala
Always thought provoking and artistic. How can anybody dislike this genius?.
truth hurts
Akala is a fucking genius. Woke as fuck! Lyrically, politically and consciously ON IT!
AlexOnTheScreen woke?
directing a political and personal sense at the start aint what u call 'smart'.....id call it fuel..........lol...........yh....kinda good story......although couldnt follow it..........remember the streets being this.....and eminem........and then this guy apparently...... besdies..... not too sure he knows what some words actually define to.................is good...not for me........audio books i dont llike
Adam Clowes I think he know what his "words actually define to". Akala is an articulate man. Look at 5 minutes of his Oxford University address, he's incredibly smart. As for your comment about it being 'fuel', you say that almost as a bad thing. Dude, we need change and it's people like this that talk about issues and don't stay ignorant that help to bring about peace and change. Music is where change can start from
Steve M are you confused by my use of the word or disagreeing with me for calling him "woke"?
Jacob Revell I like his music, I don't wanna 'suck him'. I think he's really clever
Akala on that shakespeare shit
nice to see an MC playing with the boundary's of the genre. crossing graphic novels with hip hop...good luck to him.
I got so excited when I saw akala's face in the thumbnail
The way he remembers all his lyrics without a script. Akala is the best
One of the first 5 people I'd ring up to employ if I was prime minister lol
Larry Plopenstein who are the other 4?
Hmm good question, I guess I'd go Jeremy Corbyn Russell brand my mate Collin and I'd have to think about the last one properly. What about you? When's the social revolution starting?
Lol you don't know who he is
Larry Plopenstein what's Colin like?
This is a history lesson in rap.
This is the English rap history being laid down.
This man is more than a poet or a story teller. This man is the truth sent to us.
More than a link in the chain...
He's the only one to silence mr sloth 😂👌🏼👌🏼👊🏻
Anthony McCarth also lowkey. Akala is nice with it but i prefer lowkey delivery n flow over Akalas'
And mic righteous did
Akay Carter low-key is a poor mans version of Akala.
sloth don't know wa gwan
ultimate Worrier do your research lil man . you must be smoking coriander if u think akala is better than lowkey . wow
The GOAT of all time in the uk, gave me chills.
As a music fan my man is sick one of the best!! On a political level he's bang on with every point!! Now on a level to you man who are not understanding what he's saying that because your middle or upper class and can not relate. Anyone who knows how this world works knows akala is a voice for the people and is spot on. Go do your research read a book 📚 or two, don't talk shit if you haven't a clue you end up looking stupid as per a lot of comments. As for calling akala racist lool I don't even need to comment on that stupid people !
It disturbs me why this doesn't have millions of views.
I could listen to this man all day, one amazing human x
This isn't your usual 1xtra or hip hop show Mic session. This is an event. Akala is unique. Incredible. Original.
The haters are all these click clack pow mc wannabes . Akala knowledge is power he,s trying to learn and school people through spitting he been down the gang and drug road if u listen properly got to just b jealousy nasty sin to have 👌💯🎧
Hes a prophet
click clack pow mc's lmao thats class. i agree tho, well said.
The sad thing is he will be the UK 2pac when he's dead
he is a poet
information on drugs and legalization of " street" drugs - something that the elite will never due to fear- will end of this misery . some drugs enlighten some people, some slave some people. The illegality of drugs is a business , I would even say, tax u-turn. if people need to fill a void with the help of drugs to enable them to socialize, interact, free them from mental pain , or be someone in society , there is no real argument in politics to tackle the root of it, if they are so concern. in my opinion, its a business , driven by the elite to put people down and cast out certain group of society . Akala has always said that information will set us free, just as other did. Knowing which information is useful and which one is not and most importantly , nudging people to have a certain " constructive criticism " is the key for society to start to have a debate, eye to eye without reservation.
Ain't even started part 4 an 5 yet. This give me goosebumps like 10 times already. Deep
Part 4 been out?
Iraqpride part 4 is in the video you're watching.
Bint Falasteeniyah Big up, Al Quds!!
You could call this psychedelic hip hop, fucking so sick.
"You follow what you know, what's inside your very soul or be distracted by the 10,000 things they try promote'
BARS
Oh man, that "10,000 things" reference (Taoism) is sick
One of the best ever ..fact
*"Visited by visions, hardest to describe. Call it my intuition, internal guide. Callin' 'em visions but they are somethin' more. Surely you get them too, but do you ignore."*
Auhw. *Biggie voice*
Half the planet has never heard of me - These rappers write bars I write portions of eternity
The setting, the mood, the atmosphere... aaaaah, felt all through my tv casted from my phone. Just brilliant and amazing Akala, never let me down
People don't be surprised people dislike this you can be the realist person in the world and or the nicest person in the world but you will always have people who are hating! Great job Akala as always much respect!
nuff respect. Was wondering why youtube/bbc felt the need to put a 'strong language' warning. REally? Meanwhile 2 Live crew ,Cardi B, Nelly, Nick Minaj are peddling their porn& violence without warning, edit and with millions of views. Nonesense
Three years ago this mans words changed my life, now he's just given me another hand.
Mind blowing vision that sometimes I do ignore but not any more!
More people need to hear his words...especially in these troubling times.
Probably gonna teach this in my sixth form English class. Shouts to Huxley & Orwell.
two of the most overrated writers
Perhaps. But their ideas were undeniably influential. Akala, who is massively influenced by Orwell in particular (he even did a whole album based on 1984) is a case in point. It is hard to argue with the fact that Orwell, Huxley and Atwood, and most of the dystopian novelists were spot on about much of our modern society.
It is because of the conspiracy crazies from the USA who heavily promoted these books in their NWO conspiracy theory. 1984 and Brave New World were one of the first books I read in English, mostly because of the hype surrounding them. Well, maybe I am just a hater. Brave New World, though probably relevant today, seemed very difficult to digest, while 1984 was in its entirety an attack on the Soviet Union and the Eastern Block, hardly any similarities to modern liberal capitalism.
You're right. America won't get dystopian warnings from classic writers, they are already living it and don't recognise.
Cling to those guns, kid. You're gonna need them.
Just Muz: Make sure you do. We need to counter the propaganda of state sponsored 'news' and educate an entire generation to reclaim Human Rights.
Most people don't even realise we had them revoked by our current government. They sent a message, when they consigned the Magna Carta to a museum. We need to start thinking about sending a clear one back. Magna Carta was won at knife point. Something worth remembering.
Legend in the game. Ahead of his time. Underrated.
Akala is one of my favourite UK artists ever since Shakespeare, this dude raps facts and has a brain unlike a lot of other artist out there. Respect to the man!
Started in 2003 first record was 2006 lol I remeber listening to him and Kano from 14 years old im now 27 akala still going strong
This is hard, brudda spittin the truth, It probably went over alot of you auto tune mumble rap lovers
mumbling away from the truth they are. preach!
This man is incomparable when it comes to lyricism,poetry, Mc and rap. putting him in a categories means others are close to him. he is simply the gate-keeper and a teacher for and to us all.
Defo need Akala & Damien Marley collab ASAP
David Brown Or Akala and Immortal Technique
Brandon Kufa definitely would be a epic track 💯
Akala supported Jr Gong and Nas in London in 2010. That would have been a good opportunity for a collaboration to happen. He was fire!
There are so many US rappers I wish would do a song with Akala, but underground US and UK probably don't know a lot about each other for it to happen which is a shame. Crescent Moon or Brother Ali with Akala would be amazing.
Eyedeas Never Die Check out Akala and Oveous music tracks I think you'll like
Different level. In his own lane. NO comparison. Akala's in competition with no-one... Speechless. Man afi cop this project. SALUTE from NinjaTea
Every single line is so powerful. Akala really is raising the bar.
also, 3:59 LOL
Hit the like button before he even spat a bar !!!
Geordie Kev beg friend
Abdul Taha stick to grooming kids as u obvo know fuck all about rap!
GRIZZY150 150gang Grooming kids is the western way, in child beauty pageants. Only pedos go to them and they aint muslim LOL.
This man is a pure genius !! .. Been listening to this legend since the old Shakespeare days ..keeps getting better and better .. Only rapper that speaks and knows the truth .. Deep words ✌✌
Listen to the words and stop hating because he is just saying things u don't want people to listen, and that's the truth
ane makon I don't even think it's that!, I genuinely believe that those who cry and bitch about him are unable to comprehend his lyrics.
They are likely unable to comprehend the most simple of subjects, let alone the matters that Akala goes on about.
Gypsy Resilience ft
Tbh I haven’t heard a single person complain about him. His talents too much
The way he writes lyrics I really feel like he really does see these visions.. creepy but 🔥🔥🔥🔥
I first heard Akala in one of his Fire in The Booths where he spoke about more black history than I had aver learned in my school years. This man inspires me as a person and as an artist.
Akala is simply amazing! Loved this! 👏👏👏❤❤❤
And he integrates his poetry into his rap. Arts always linked but never before connected. A man that can join the dots up. I come back over and over again for this guy. What's next fella? This guy always has something to say that not only me but so many people need to hear. Don't stop. Ever.
Always loved akala's style of rapping totally unique
Callum Playz I find it a little
Basic, but having said that, putting across complex messages in a very simple way is a skill in and of its self.
Andrew henry yeah I like the meaningful rap not always about money cars and bitches
Andrew henry what's simple about his flow? What no auto tune
lancesamals It's is simple mate, it's not a bad thing at all though. It really is about the message in the end.
Much respect as always to Akala for bringing truth and well written exposure of this world.
Cah these negative comments are coming from them type of people who wanna hear him talking about bagging up and bussin a mac at a rival borough. Akala is made different from trap rappers. This guy is speaking logical and is opening your eyes to the real evil and corrupt in this world not what's happening in rival street beef. Akala is a legend and always will be. He always keeps it 💯👀🔥🔥
Man took it back to the drums and gongs fire
It truly is difficult to describe someone like Akala and what the art of lyrics truly is. I'm glad I been staying tuned with this brother since he made 'comedy of errors' over a decade ago. For the last years now I've always said lyrically untouchable. Like ever! That's not exaggerating
Big up Akala for staying true to his soul and putting the knowledge out there for everyone to feed on love or hate it he is one to follow. Definition of an Artist can't put man into a catagory.
He is a true artist taken rap to a new level he will be known in history a absolute genius. Cant believe I just watched this for free.
Y E SSSSS. Never clicked so fast, now I just need Mic Righteous to drop his album 🙏
Levels and levels above anyone!! The flows, the lyrics, the delivery!! The guys a God in this world!! 👏💯
this beat is insane! especially the saxophone bit
This is art of it's true nature! Pure rap for reason! 🔥 So much thought put behind this! 🔥
"These rappers write bars, I write portions of eternity"
Animate this !!!!!!!! Sick
Anthony McCarth He was talking about it being a comic in the beginning no ?
Get that and see if you like it.
Lynxchillin08 film animated mate not drawn to animate (to bring to life ) at least try be smart look it up 😂ffs
Lynxchillin08 if you don't understand that basically a comic is not a animation 😂
Anthony McCarth Trying to look smart? My question was genuine. I was just trying to help.
How about you drop your ego and try to help people as opposed to trying to one up them on the Internet thinking your patronising use of "😂" will get you anywhere. Jeeez Bro, lighten the fuck up I'm sorry I wasn't smart enough to suit your standards.
Anthony McCarth And to be fair I think I responded to the wrong comment here, my comment makes little sense in response to the original comment. Keep putting people in their place though, you're making the world such a smarter place you genius !
Woooow this guy is really one of a kind, he js on his own level, he is so knowledgeable and just well rounded human.
That man is an underrated genius.
Haven't even listened to it yet and I know I am about to learn something
Legend ✌🏻✌🏻✌🏻
Nothing I could ever write or say about Akala would convey the respect I have for him, his talent and his fearless style of spitting pure, comprehensive truth.
Akala is one of the most underrated artists out there. He has been spitting knowledge for time but too many people just want those gun bars. #knowledgeispower
Glad to have him back
One of the best no questions asked
Listen to this album everyday! This man has mad knowledge and spits it professionally. Mr Fire In the Booth!
AKALA you never cease to amaze me.. 👏👏👏👏👏❤✌
Fucking hell ave got goosebumps this fella continues to fucking amaze me. So much truth came out of his mouth. Big up akala you're a fucking machine
and when akala released this ,there i was in the carnival parade at the womad event charlton park wiltshire the home of my ancesters,i wore a character mother earth we all raised the energy of the elements
2003 I have been listening to him since then
Wow .. 🙌🏻 from start to finish that was class!
real artistry
This Man is the business
Genious in a word... Love this man
ayy the king is back!
I liked the Fire In The Booth before I played it, simply because I knew it would be legendary!
Cannot wait for reading 🔥🔥!
All these negative comments.....I guess it's understandable considering the type of "music" people listen to these days. If you can't understand the genius in his words then you're probably not ready to open your mind and listen.
Aida exactly! Well said. Your comment reminds me of a lowkeys bar. "if all you rap about is the hoes and the dough, it's already too late you've sold em your soul"
6:44 when you are so into the beat you headbutt the microphone
About time this was put up!!
Brilliant work.
This is a work of art.
Goose pimples n shivers man! Akala! = Truth! Peace, love n light x
Another level! 🔥
realest thing ever keep it coming bro
Been head and shoulders above the majority of mc's for over 10 years "they can keep the charts, all I want is your hearts"
Charlie Sloth Respect for giving Akala a voice again and again.

That's over an hour of bars my dog, none of which is on my album.
Akala is a legend
Akala...what can I say? man is on another level, always pushing the boundaries of rap and trying something different with his novels and rap. Most are so blinded by the shit they listen to, they don't see the genius that is akala.
