How on earth is this man not everywhere? I’m amazed that I’m from the uk and I’ve only just come across him. To be fair I am nearly 40 and not a massive music person but this man deserves to be a household name END OF
Man I truly believe if akala, mic righteous and low key did an album together today it might break the world.. especially today during the plandemic .. like this if you agree! Not because I want like because maybe theyll see it and do it!!
Saddens me to hear people saying how they learn so much listening to Akala, etc. He is one man, you shouldn't be learning your history from a guy with an agenda (not a bad agenda but an agenda, nevertheless). I love Akala, he's arguably the best rapper ever in my opinion and he's a clever man, but like everyone of us, he has an agenda and you should make sure you fact check everything he says before taking it as gospel. I've noticed a few things in each FITB video he's done where he's distorted the facts to support his narrative. One little one I've just heard which made me pause to write this, is how the Indians fought for Britain in the WW2. They did, but not out of the goodness of their hearts, they did so because they had an agreement that they would gain independence from Britain if they did. Not saying I disagree or that they should even have had to, but they didn't fight for us as brothers, they fought to get away from the UK. There are a few more 'facts' throughout all four parts that are either are incorrect or twisted to fit his narrative. Another example, research Marcus Garvey who he references fondly in part 1. Garvey was no peaceful DR King, he was a man who was as racist as the KKK and even worked with them to further racial division…… As Akala himself says '…read, read''.
Couple things…1: '"live on celtic land but don't learn about the celts" we do learn about the celts, that some primary school shit. If you have heard of 'warrior queen' boudica then you've learnt about the celts. There are museums all over the country dedicated purely to ancient english/celtic history. 2: "whites were also enslaved yet no1 talks about it today"- every time we try to even mention it we are called out for 'deflecting' and told its 'not the same'.
Don't get me wrong, mans intelligent af and makes some very good points but…he makes some real piss poor 1s too.
got me at about 3:40 been listening from part one, keep going its really tough to do a cypher for 9 minutes let alone 14, i also think we all agree that staying underground seems like the best outcome for now, best of chances!
Akala, Lowkey and Mic Righteous should all be much bigger, if they were American each one of them could be top of the game. UK got crazy talent considering our entire country is way smaller than most states in the USA
Only just discovering him I am blown away such talent maybe he can RESET rap because back in the 1980' rap was touted by the white main stream media as dangerous because it talked about the inequalities of Racism then they the elite white labels saw the potential for them to get rich off rap and changed the lyrics to something that would be a stereotype and something that there white audience would be more comfortable with Gangsta rap
LOVE YOU AKALA
Love this guy he's so good and he speaks truth from the heart he's so real
Haven't heard Akala in years. Time to binge all of his tracks
Charlie, putting midroles on a music video is bang out of order. Money grabbing bullshit
too cocky and anti brittish for me to like, that is why he is not "blowing up" like everyone keeps asking.
this is the essence of hip hop pure truth
He WOKE a generation b4 these days… his album thief's bancuit is a album to have…
Who's coming back in 2021?!
09:20 until the end brings back memories of living in Holloway and going to Acland burley. You are one of the GOATs Akala.
Alaka low-key and mic rithious should do a song first bars Alka then low key end it off with Mr reckless rithious sum feeling b in them bar
Nas-What Goes Around… My favourite tune, off Stillmatic….
Still the best FitB I’ve seen. Education. Knowledge is power. Always. Akala goes beat mode any time he drops in the booth. Real ones know.
This was my fav
Anyone know what to track is called, and were I can find it?

If you're wondering, there's a brief moment at 3:18 where the sign behind him is in focus and it reads as follows
forgotten these……..?!
picture of headphones
There's 2 spare pairs in the emergency locker (Blue Basement Locker 10). And the key's on reception! Problem solved……
I am not responsible for the grammar
Seriously if Akala did my history lessons at school I might have actually turned up…! Much love from a working class white bloke 🙂
Notice how Charlie COMPLETELY stfu when Akala was going in.
Respect.
2021
The actual best ❤️

"We all commit crime, simply by paying tax"
Absolutely amazing.
The madness in the system
– we are left in
How it evolved!!
