Dec 2017. Fuck where have I been, why have I never known. Feel lost and like I've missed out big time. Found this top man on fire in the booth part 4. I'm only 1year younger than this amazing artist and I'm starting to want to learn and discover. Happy day today. Not guna stop until I've told as many people about this genius.
A lyrical genius with intellectual rhymes that challenge us to become more informed on issues the impact us daily. He gives lessons like a modern day philosopher. Keep up! Actively listen and be enlightened 👍
Akala has blown away the whole UK Grime and Rap scene. No one comes close to him. Creative genius. Talent, style, flair, intelligence and powerful important insightful messages. He's up there as one of the greatest rappers of all time. Better than 99.9% of the US Hip Hop movement. He's untouchable. He may not be the most famous, he may not be the most known but its possible to be the greatest MC ever to take the Mic. Does ANYONE think there is anyone better? . . . . . . . I'll wait.
Immortal Technique,& Lowkey are the only ones who hold a candle to Akala...slightly different styles as they have an anger(over the same kinda issues) that Akala doesn't harbor in the same way. I thought I'd never put another emcee in front of Tech, but Akala took my #1 spot gracefully+ eloquently.
BTW as I write this: -White American(Irish, Polish, Czechoslovakian) born,& raised in New Jersey -36yrs old -Married w/3kids(all born from my wife) -Trade skill worker(soldering circuit boards/wire/cable) Align Conservative by 2022 standards, but I personally consider myself very liberal (but not to current "woke" standards). A few drinks in on a Friday~felt relevant for perspective.
@@Im118ish I hear you. Black British (Jamaican-Bajun) born and raised South London 47 years old 2 divorces, 2 kids, commercial property project manager, Align Conservative by all standards, but I see a lot of hypocrisy and entitlement with liberalism here in the UK and I have no time or patience for today's woke mob. A few drinks on a Friday ~ kinda felt obliged to share for the same reasons.
The legend, the intellectual genius, True strength is the honor to be honest what an icon akala is a prophet i will honor this man as long as i do live
I’m so damn thankful that this beautiful man exists. He’s an educator and philosopher that brings revolution to the meaning of this genre, the industry and the world.
I remember hearing akala for the time in like 06-07 his flow and lyrics blew me away, I lost touch with his music and last year with all the madness with the riots I started to listen to him again and wow this guy has evolved above any uk m.c, instead of becoming a seriously typical rap artist he choose to educate himself and pass that knowledge on not just in music but in lectures, this man is such an inspiration to me, listened to most of his interviews and watched his lecture and I can honestly say I am far more knowledgeable of what the white supremacist have done too the black community, I assumed Egyptians where not black because of what we was taught in schools and now I k owe what he means about social conditioning, I grew up the first ten years in a dump and when my parents move me to what i see as a middle class area i was years behind other kids at school and i was treated differently because of that i was seen as the dumb ruff kid from the estate, they treated me differently because my parents was young really young and that hurt bad so I rebelled against the system I was a grimey kid I regret some of it but not all, AKAL REACH OUT MAN YOU HAVE OPENED MY MIND AND I AM JUST ABOUT TO PURCHASE YOU BOOK PEACE OUT YOU ARE A WARRIOR FOR US WORKING CLASS AKALA FOR PM ✊✊
Man... I remember when I heard him for the first time 6 years ago. Listen to all of his albums and was SO impressed. I can not believe he hasn't earned due attention yet. Maybe 50 years later people look back and realize what kind of talent was missed.
The way each song makes me think of not only the content, but the period of my life when I first heard it. This man has been a constant in my life and I am ever grateful for that.
Oh my god. Akala is so good. He´s the Shakespeare of rap! You know I´m a metaler, so usually I don´t favor that music.. But a friend said you´re good and holy shit I´m just glad, that I trusted his advice! Knowledge is power my friends.
2024 love this man I am a 62 year old grandmother... trying to decide at what age I can introduce my grandson to Akala..he is 9 at the moment.any thoughts on this anyone? Just call me a rap gangster granny 😂😂😂
It's literally carrying on the legacy Of Bob Marley's message using the music to be the true knowledge (the real people's news if you like) that mainstream media suppresses and distorts it is still the same message as it has always been To "Wake up and Live!" As well as Educate yourself "you should KNOW and not BELIEVE " and to stay strong and spread positivity and love rather than hatred ,vanity and materialism! Genius style of using rap lyrics to teach others the truth about the world we're living in!
One of the tracks of my youth, I remember Channel U kicked off and me n my friends got sucked in. So many amateur artists came about, including Akala. Wasnt just good music, it was an education. 16 years on and I still listen to Akala, shame Taz dropped out of the lime light. Another brilliant lyricist.
Akala teen years from now i want more :) thankyou Bro for all and i cant wait to get more words from you LowKey, mic righteous, Logic, KRS one, Imortal immortal technique, Beast1333 and many more.
I've always been an akala fan, the only things I'd really heard was both parts 2 banquet of the thieves and all of his fire in the booths. I've now listened 2 this and I luv his music even more. Akala is a lyrical genius Edit: I relate 2 the song old sould cuz I'm 15 but I listen 2 a lot of old school rap and rock/metal music. I do like some modern music but older music is what I relate 2. I'm guess I have an old souls XD
It was a humbling experience to watch and meet Akala at Leeds for the recent 10 Years of Akala tour. Hopefully there will be another opportunity to meet Akala once again.
no this is a selection of songs from the last 10 years that fans have chosen as their favourites. couple of newer remixes and a newer song 'giants' on it too.
2023 Listenin' to akala. Absolutly GENIUS :-) Thank you!
2024 still listening and beyond
"If ignorance is bliss that explains my misery" Sick line!
He puts nearly two hours of music on RUclips for free and people still complain about it. What a joke.
Nice one!
Chris B more than just music too!!!
don't worry brutha
"Give to those with no expectation to recieve anything in return" - Almost every religion I can think of
criminal that nearly 4 years later there's less than 100k views.
All music is free, you only choose to pay for it!
Saw Akala in Wolverhampton. This man is a prophet. The man is so eloquent and intelligent. So much integrity. A force. He's simply amazing x
💯💯💯
Agreed.
How can this have such few views. Madness
✨SHARE✨🧚🏼🙂

Akala is the greatest rapper of our age hands down.
How does this track only have 1400 likes???????????????????? This is our HISTORY.
I from Brooklyn and have been listening to Hip Hop from the beginning. Akala is an official lyricist. As a RasTafari I love the consciousness.
He’s a scholar end of
Brooklyn has also produced some of the best hip hop artists, love from the UK!
Akala an absolute legend, proud to be listening to him for the last 11 years
Don't think I've ever seen anyone as talented in my entire life!!

Beautifully expressed, JP, and so very true. Thank you 🙏🏾✊🏾
I'm about eight years late to the party. I'm definitely glad that I found this artist
best rapper ever ...seen him live in newcastle flow was excatly the same as on cd..

if only he had the recognition on a global scale, we would all be living extremely different right now
almost 2 hours of music for free, this is why akala is the best, been a fan since nappies.
can't stop rewinding this man. haven't finished much more than half of this album. It.. is.. fire!
Shalom my brother, truly blessed by YAH. If you ain't feeling this brother then unna must be dead!🇯🇲

...their anger blinded them,,,Akala used that anger to educate himself further,& that put him on another level + step ahead IMO.
BTW as I write this:
-White American(Irish, Polish, Czechoslovakian) born,& raised in New Jersey
-36yrs old
-Married w/3kids(all born from my wife)
-Trade skill worker(soldering circuit boards/wire/cable)
Align Conservative by 2022 standards, but I personally consider myself very liberal (but not to current "woke" standards).

next Marley init
pmrooter the majority of people don't want to hear the truth that's what it is they prefer being in their comfort zones ignoring everything important
My fave rapper of all time his lyrics teach and learn you not like most
I've got the album on vinyls. Epic!
The way each song makes me think of not only the content, but the period of my life when I first heard it. This man has been a constant in my life and I am ever grateful for that.
This a piece of art
I will forever support this
Oh my god. Akala is so good. He´s the Shakespeare of rap! You know I´m a metaler, so usually I don´t favor that music.. But a friend said you´re good and holy shit I´m just glad, that I trusted his advice! Knowledge is power my friends.
instant memories as soon as i hit play :) roll wid us!
Classic. Remix with QuESt, Big E & Nikolow is too hard.
I regret not going to see him in Dublin so so much!
I'm 42 and white, bang into akala! Not sure who that's more embarrassing for.
Akala should do a song/album with immortal technique!!
I swear this is like the soundtrack to my generation at some point every one of the tunes got banged out whilst growing up 💯🔥🔥🔥
the best video on youtube
#ModernDayGodPhilosopher #EternalSalutations I wonder who he was in past lives.....
I still bought this from Amazon.
You are a wonderful artist & human-being, Akala!!
I'm totally swept away in admiration, I always liked akala but after seeing him on Saturday night, I'm mind blown still. Hooked ❤️
Wish I was in Britain right now. Both Lowkey and Akala on tour right now, too sick to be true
Yes, I saw them both! Akala was in Liverpool and Lowkey in Manchester. Brilliant shows, I'm sure they will tour again!!! All in good time my friend!
I wish I could see these guys on tour, but I am in Canada.
10 months later, same thing again!!
Never listened 2 lowkeys music. Is he worth checkin out?
2024 love this man I am a 62 year old grandmother... trying to decide at what age I can introduce my grandson to Akala..he is 9 at the moment.any thoughts on this anyone? Just call me a rap gangster granny 😂😂😂
