Abubakarxli

Abubakarxli rose to public consciousness like any other internet savvy rappers in the 10s -- purely on his own terms through YouTube, social media, and an identity unique only to him. The 26-year-old's gungho DIY approach has seen him releasing self-funded mixtapes under his own imprint, Perintah Records. It was only after his EP — In Case landed on the right ears and later on getting signed to Kartel Records (later on known as Def Jam SEA), breaking the label's 15 years streak of not signing any artists. Now back to his self-founded label Perintah Records, it's a matter of time knowing what's next from the Ipoh-born and raised artist. With the label’s pull, will also lead him to regional fame.
