Akala - The War Mixtape Vol 2 ( Deluxe Edition )

Back in 2004 Akala released “The War Mixtape”, one of the first ever street-based mixtapes by a U.K. artist. The phenomenal response to this mixtape launched not only Akala’s career but also gave rise to the Birtish mixtape scene which has gone from strength to strength in recent years.

The long-awaited War Mixtape Vol. II sees Akala return to his roots as an MC without equal. Spitting over some of the most classic hip-hop beats of all time Akala delivers another lyrical master-class on the dark realities of life on the streets of “so-called ‘Great’ Britain” and the self-belief needed to overcome institutional oppression. At the same time, in a series of venemous battle-raps, Akala leaves no doubt as to who rules the top of the MC’ing roost and challenges anyone who dares to step-up and try to grab his crown. As if that weren’t enough Akala continues to break boundaries by rapping over several beats that may surprise the regular hip-hop mixtape crowd including tracks from Radiohead, Artic Monkeys, The Prodigy, Kasabian and DJ Shadow – proving once again that Akala truly is the ‘rap-rock-electro kid’.
