AKIR brings that raw street lyricism that's
hard to find within today's hip-hop. With
his poetical flows, political and street
storytelling abilities I can’t help but
notice these qualities that are comparable
to a young Nasir Jones. The entire album
is loaded with nineteen official street
bangers that also includes a bonus track
"The Louisiana Purchase" featuring
Immortal Technique, Poison Pen & Mojo.
AKIR is brilliant on the majority of the
songs but he really spits sick on "Rites
of Passage" and "Mood Music."
The majority of the album is produced
by Southpaw but AKIR also gets in on some
production credits. The album will have
you vibing to some real raw and uncut.
But if you're looking for club bangers
you may want to bypass this one. Regardless
it's a solid album.

anyone forget about him anytime soon. And
