[MCKT2806]

bruv, are you having a bubble!

[timeh1996]

This is from when Akala used to make songs without meaning & was like the rest of the rappers out there.

1. Thank fuck he saw the light

2. It's still packed with ALOT more meaning then any others artist's songs.

[SMOTH1289]

On the radio version he says "little twist" I just found out now that he says "Nigga twist" on the this version lmao

[BassBooster3D]

[relyanddefy]

tyler the creator would be interesting over this beat

[ops049]

i appreciate the time given at the end for us to take it all in...and for wack rappers to contemplate suicide.

[MegaASHBEN]

This is rap proper bars

[SuperSquirters2]

did anyone here actually watch Life of Rhyme? I thought it was brilliant.

[Pisabellaa]

this tune should have way more views.

[MegaDenni24]

we all know this has more views then any jay z track

[princesspony1984]

lovin this tune pleased they used it in dat advert

[corrupt3luke]

akala is hard

[WigTuts]

Hate pretentious fucks who think the fact they listened to music before others makes them special. As long as the artist gets more recognition I don't give a fuck how people discovered the music. In the end, remember the fact you discovered it through a certain way, just since you've been listening to someone for slightly longer it doesn't count for shit, get a grip.

[EmrysPendraeg]

@WigTuts Well said.

[ExSane364]

Fucking raped this track. Akala is the shit. I need to listen to more British rap!

[stillmatic117]

@ExSane364 yo, i'm from UK, there isisn't much over here, people will tell you differently but the only artists worth listenin to are Rhyme Asylum, and Lowkey

[SuperSquirters2]

@ExSane364 its called GRIIIME FAM.

[HAVANASKYE]

[alancazza]

@WtfCloud95 .. My bad, "BUBBLE", you're on the ball anyway..

[andyhmltn]

Who gives a shit if this is someones first listen? I've been listening to akala for a looong time and I'm proud that he's finally getting the audience he deserves.

[SuperSquirters2]

@andyhmltn same man. its great to see how he's changed as well.

[ullaoops1]

Does any one know the version with the beatboxer in like the one of street summer?

[jdog634]

@ullaoops1

I know the beatboxer is faith sfx, but I dunno if that was just exclusive for the advert... try giving faith sx and akala a search.

[HitNRunGaming]

such a sick song -3

[Reeceyboy122]

thumbs up if street summer brought you here..

[SuperSquirters2]

[BloodBrothers19]

we should support his movement instead of arguing about who knows about him more

[amazingrapist]

@BloodBrothers19 Redundant apostrophe.

[snypastix]

[rustytoes1989]

[mcjjwheeler1]

i prefer the advert version though

[rossroxabc123]

@mcjjwheeler1 same!!! this sounds shit, sounds better with the beat boxer on advert

[br00k3d]

like the song but comparing himself 2 Shakespeare makes it seem like he's a bit pretentious

[jknewcastlelol]

@br00k3d All UKG is pretentious and arrogant.

[SunSurfer777]

Shame about the weak sung chorus. Otherwise v hard tune.

[gingabear1990]

Anyone who knows of Akala's tunes already knew he was heavy b4 the Channel 4 advert, The War Mixtape Volume 2 is heeaavvy!!

[CodesofConducts]

@hello5425 LOL i love that advert as well

[ReedBBK]

[WeKnowWeAreAwesome]

Thank you Channel 4! ;D

[Theoriginalgangstar1]

E P I C!!!!!!!!!!!! I've been listening to Akala for ages and this is his best song by far.

[sullyshouse141093]

I'm glad channel 4 have given him a bit of publicity, I've known about him for years but no-one else has. If you like this, listen to Akala - Welcome to England.

Hard lyrics!

[EHNOreviews4u]

you owe channel 4 blud!

[MrBirdBrane]

Wow i had never heard of him until the ad! THANKYOU CHANNEL 4 this guy is SICK!

[pentagoncoverup911]

we shld all thank channel 4 street summer



[IdoFaeTheFectiryyy]

haha that advert on tv made me look for this too

[hjastroi]

imo akala is the ONLY british rapper who's good enough to be compared with the americans. he's amazing

[JIMMYFY3]

@hjastroi you havent heard of Mic righteous then,he speaks the truth with passion and heart

[Tank2484]

Used to play ball with Akala! Not that it matters, really glad he found something different other than football. Although, I hope this sort of music does not go to his head. By that I mean I hope he don't forget those who support him and grown up with him. Too much trouble these days for people to act or be hard. Just not worth it...

[tupac662]

Can't wait for Channel 4's Street Summer!

[JordanLuFcX94]

Was supprised to see him on T.V. Never thought I'd see that day!

..... Akala one of the best to ever walk this Earth! Those who havnt done already listen to Lowkey! He's just as good, in my opinion better! :)

[hopthefencetofreedom]

This song is fucking massive.

[jacktennesee]

Thumbs up if you knew this song before the street summer advert and are really happy that Akala has finally got some exposure :)

[hannahlk91]

Who's the female singer who sings straight after, walking down the road?

[DigitalTechLife]

@hannahlk91

Ms Bratt

[CodesofConducts]

@hannahlk91 she's hot

[blobymr092]

Bruv you are havin a bubble, Im a whole diffident Kettle or Fish, Thou shalt not mess with this !!!

[MiistaWhiiteBoii]

2:06 - Street Summer Ad.

[JiJiLaVolpe]

I can't believe how many years have passed since I first since this.. amazing. I love rediscovering good music!

[jakftm]
