Year 8 or 9 pleating this on the bus ride to school. 13 years later my evolution has been unreal looking back, nearly at the end of my MSc Biomed degree and this was a nice reminder of where it began. So has yours Akala. Bless. You are an inspiration and a proven polymath! Thank god i found this banger too, 4.45 and I’ve been binging Oxford lectures... glad the last one was Akala’s. 👊🏽
The tiny amount of views and comments on this video, proves my point again, that there's too many kids on the Internet recommending the same stuff. This is a classic *Akala* track from his *Channel U* days, and probably one of his best. Yet just like all the other legends of early *Grime,* people only recommend his new stuff, and his *Fire in the Booth's.*
Idk man as far as outright bangers go I recommend this all the time. An absolute classic from secondary school days, gathering around listening on some kids Nokia N95
@@CHRISBOGGETT This video and that video put together only have 2 million views total. Again I repeat, there's too many people recommending nonsense, and ignoring the quality.
@@danielgardecki1046 I have a feelign there was another one back in day with a fw more hits, but your point stands to a degree, I feel he is knwon and respected more than this implies :)
I request this one all the time as hardly anyone knows this classic but I totally get what you mean...the man has loads of hidden gems..so we keep grinding to make sure they get heard
Akala!!!!! If you ever see this comment I think you should do a 2021 remix of this legendary track...This is beyond brilliant and would still bang today given the rightful exposure you deserve..thank god for reaction channels these days where us fans can push for your music to be spread around the world..where it belongs for everyone to hear..LOVE YOU 😍😍😍
stepitup89 Umm what? 😂 he only didn’t that because it’s the music video. Music video channels won’t play a track if it’s got swearing You’re acting like this is a new video..he made this when the track first came out mate
Scary how little people have witnessed this 👆🐐... A lyrical monster, street poet, a fucking mean one. Yet an articulate intelligent man. Wow. Wake up people😴💤
Akala? This is a name of a certain surbaban market town in Kenya where natives exchange indegenous goods. This include fruits vegetables, roadrunner chicken rams cattle and shoes made out of stranded tyers that are used for any far and rough walk in the village and are called: AKALA..... Love all the historical & philosophical insights l have have gatthered from listening to him.👏👏
love your music. i stumbled across your interviews on youtube today and have been mesmerized ever since! and obviously came to your channel and music straight away. i wish i was intelligent enough to read your book natives, but i dont have your vocabulary....think im going to buy it for my sons much love. Te Cero mucho!

I've been listening from time to time, since this album I think. Like 16-17 years ago. I feel like it's underrated everywhere and for far too long. But somehow I will hear or see his name somewhere online or something and it'll remind me to come back and listen to a couple new ones and some of the old favorites.
2024 and I’ve just had the biggest nostalgia hit that it nearly bought a tear to my eye. 16 years ago. Akala thank you.
Same😢
Ayeee 04:40am 🙌 90s kid
🌌🧬

Same bro. Heard the instrumental on talkSPORT. Took me a while to remember the track. Then boom. Here I am

We adore you and your work Akala.

Akala?
This is a name of a certain surbaban market town in Kenya where natives exchange indegenous goods. This include fruits vegetables, roadrunner chicken rams cattle and shoes made out of stranded tyers that are used for any far and rough walk in the village and are called:
AKALA.....
Love all the historical & philosophical insights l have have gatthered from listening to him.👏👏
Wow
Still bangs in 2021
Rip DJ Tomcraft. The sample used was from his track Loneliness.
Akala, skinnyman, klash. Damn i miss those years
2024 and it still stands. Ahead of his time is this man.
Akala is too intelligent.
Classic banger
That beat is still fire. This and Comedy, Tragedy, History had me in a chokehold.
Tomcraft - loneliness
Just found this track and soooooo happy Akala killin it big ups from Bulgaria bruvva thats true stuff I hear you
Lol. Bro, Bulgaria doesn't need this influence, it'll ruin your country. Stay Bulgarian.
