Akala goes in for 8 minutes straight on the Charlie Sloth show on BBC 1Xtra. Those of you who aware of Akala, he’s a very ‘conscious rapper’, so you can press play and expect to learn something!

As a friend of mine mentioned to me earlier, listening to Akala makes you want to pick up a book. His Twitter is pretty interesting at times too.

One of my favourite tracks from Akala’s DoubleThink album gets the visual treatment.

The song itself is a typically socially conscious one by the very intelligent Akala, as he takes us through his thoughts on what’s gone on with the world in the past, where it’s at right now and to where we’re heading.

No hook on this, just Akala rapping all the way through the acoustic production along with a tinge of electric guitar to distinguish the tone of the song. The subtleties of the production helps amplify the lyrical content; with visuals that really supplement Akala’s subject matter.

Side note: I would kill to hear Akala on a track with Nas.
