We ran a feature on Akil a few months back. He’s one of the most talented, good-hearted men involved in Hip Hop today. With this latest song and video the focus is firmly put on his singing skills. Beginning as a dope emcee who went no where without his trusty guitar, Akil has branched out in to singing and is really beginning to perfect the art. Very much a soul artist as well as Hip Hop head, to really reach his potential and appeal to soul fans it was inevitable that Akil learnt to sing well.

In the Hip Hop game we’re always talking about ill concepts and sharp lyrics, tight production and crazy flow. Few musicians can pull-off the complete opposite to all that – well, most of that – and still manage to garner respect and create great music. Bob Marley is an example of someone who could. Such simple lyrics became so powerful that they earned him the title of being one of the musical geniuses of our time. Akil does something very similar here. A simple hook and melody is transformed in to a real feel-good track that can resonate with all of us. As the song suggests, yes Akil is in love and yes he is expecting a baby. I challenge you not to groove along with this track.

Peace
