    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.

    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.*

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.
