2024 and I’ve just had the biggest nostalgia hit that it nearly bought a tear to my eye. 16 years ago. Akala thank you.

The tiny amount of views and comments on this video, proves my point again, that there's too many kids on the Internet recommending the same stuff. This is a classic *Akala* track from his *Channel U* days, and probably one of his best. Yet just like all the other legends of early *Grime,* people only recommend his new stuff, and his *Fire in the Booth's.*

Year 8 or 9 pleating this on the bus ride to school. 13 years later my evolution has been unreal looking back, nearly at the end of my MSc Biomed degree and this was a nice reminder of where it began. So has yours Akala. Bless. You are an inspiration and a proven polymath! Thank god i found this banger too, 4.45 and I’ve been binging Oxford lectures... glad the last one was Akala’s. 👊🏽

Actually it’s because he’s an independent artist & chooses to invest his time & money into ventures other than just music. If he wanted to blow up overseas he could, I mean his sister had been to award shows out in the states alongside big superstars like Beyoncé, Alicia Keys, etc. He just prefers to be appreciated for his music but still be able to live a normal life without being crowded like a celebrity

Akala? This is a name of a certain surbaban market town in Kenya where natives exchange indegenous goods. This include fruits vegetables, roadrunner chicken rams cattle and shoes made out of stranded tyers that are used for any far and rough walk in the village and are called: AKALA.....

Your English teacher is dope. I imagine they are hoping you will research a little more on your own and find tracks they might get in trouble for sharing with you. kzitem.info/news/bejne/1HuFsZugqKqgp6Q is my favorite Akala joint. This is immortal Technique the greatest of the political MCs but way to controversial for a teacher to recommend kzitem.info/news/bejne/mGietnWjcKV4aW0
