It's 2012 and SB.TV is officially back with this F64 being the first video for the year. Akala drops another deep F64, make sure you listen very closely. / online.sbtv www.sbtv.co.uk / jamaledwards / sbtvonline
Not been able to visualise the life story of a song this clearly since 'Dance with the Devil' by Immortal Tech, My guess would actually be that that song was an inspiration for this...
Check out 'rapman - blue story trilogy' if you like this you will love it! This and 'dance with the devil' are brilliant but for a real deep story (true as well!) check that out. I promise you will not be disappointed!!
Wow, incredible.. so much info to take in.. Akala = Lyrically talented, blessed, gifted, geniune, unique, smart, student, teacher, seeker, revealer, custodian of knowledge and so much more!
akala is a huge romodel BELEIVE... i started college got talking to some kid there was an instant connection. first impression i noticed he was sharp minded the way he worded what he was saying and some words he came out with lol yet at breaks i would play tunes and just could see he wernt really feeling the tune ya get me so i was like what do you listen to lol he said like akala and lowkey i never heard of em lol played me lowkey hand on your gun id heard the beat before but thats about it still vibes to it like but didnt think nothing of it at all aha then played akalas 2nd f64 again had to vibes to his music ovb but literally nothing aha put it this way i was like yhyh let me put a tune on lol i could see the disappointment in his face. crazy aint seen him for atleast a year or so on now and since then im a huge akala fan and know me and the kid could have some good convos yet havent got his number or anything its a myth its crazy ino he hardly used to go out he had mates and that but stayed of the roads like cuz we got along like that he'd ring me now and then like yes wuu2 come chill or suen but id want to but be doing this and that daftness now i hardly go out! AKALA CAN MAKE CHANGE TRASSSSS!!!! IVE HAD TO WRITE THIS FFS!!!! CAH IM DEFINITELY STARTING TO THINK IM ONE OF A FEW LIKE ME FOR SAYING SAKE WHOS SUPPORTING!!!! THIS IS THE REAL FUCKING RAP SHIT YA NEED TO BE LISTENING TO FFS!!! LIKE LOWKEY SAID YOU NEED TO WATCH OR CHANNEL WHAT YOUR LISTENING TO IS THE MUSIC WHAT YOUR LISTENING TO OPPOSING POWER OR SERVING POWER CHECK YASELF!!!! 1
Just amazing best rapper in uk if not world Every1 needs akala knowledge is power for blacks and whites Browns yellows it's all good the system rules n this guy sees it all and expresses it with a unreal vocabulary.
I knew to just click like before even watching because i expect nothing but words of wisdom to come out of his mouth , great flow, great lyricist ! Knowledge Is Power
Better in terms of his lyrical content? Yeah defo. Eminem has such a big platform he should spit about the same things rappers like Akala & Lowkey do. Check out Akala Fire in the Booth & you'll see what I mean. Now technically? There might not be anyone better than Eminem. The speed he spits at & multi syllabic words he uses are immense & that's a great skill. He is a beast on the mic. But I cite Akala as the best/one of the best cause of what Akala spits about. Just my opinion though dude. Music is totally subjective to the listeners opinion. For that reason there is no good or bad music lol cause what's bad to you or I is good to someone else : ) & vice versa. Yeah check out Akala Fire in the Booth parts 1,2&3 if you ain't already. Peace bro 😎💙🐾
I met Akala backstage at The Mix festival in Burgess park and getting a chance to chat with him and discuss his motivations was the thing that convinced me to pick up a mic again.
theres some serious talent coming out of this little island of ours! good to see people like akala guiding it in the right direction. i got a lot of respect for this man.
Genuinely wonder how he got the inspiration and idea for this, absolutely insane stuff as per usual, well thought out, took me a few listens to understand fully the story.
this is the realsest piece of rapping excellence ive seen all year :) and i am gonna look up the opium war.....few rappers can make me wanna do that...nas nd lupe being 2 of them
@Whipster007 And what makes you think he is not intelligent? Please explain. He achieved straight A's in school, what are you saying???? Bet you didn't even achieve one.
One of the best MCs in the UK, Refreshing hearing bars about things that matter other than guys just shouting Swag every 5 seconds like they've got torrettes
The thing i love about rappers like akala and lowkey is they speak about the truth and not a load of shit they inspire people like me, this is one of the best F64 yet in my opinion, peace !!
There is no best lyricist. There are a fair few amazing lyricists who are stupid levels of skilled. They can only really be compared on content and even then that's just a matter of the mood you're in at that moment. Slug, Akala, Tech, Rakim, Baxter, Fliptrix etc. All these are highly skilled in their respective styles, just down to choice. That's my 2 pence anyway :)
I love how wheb you go to other rap channels they alwas put that "text" language on. You know, the yeye man dat woz well deep bruv, type of thing. But on here its all cool. Let's keep it this way. And Akala's just so so lyrically good and intelligent.
Quarantine got me back to the classics
"YOU don't run the road, THEY run the road; same people you pay tax to.Shit is cold" Spits too much truth
This rap should be the screenplay for a movie
I know bro. nice script
Not been able to visualise the life story of a song this clearly since 'Dance with the Devil' by Immortal Tech,

Could well be
Or lupe fiasco - the cool
Hadn't heard that one before man, thanks.

I struggle visualising it because it's alot faster than immortal technique, will take getting used to i guess, big up tho
AKALA NEEDS MORE RECOGNITION. PURE TALENT!!!
KNOWLEDGE IS POWER
ALWAYS 💯
@@perceptionpoet4136 No the application of knowledge is.
@@hans8025 huh same thing 😂
haha fkn awesome. akala spits so much knowledge, alot more than the rap bullshit these days.
Wow, incredible.. so much info to take in.. Akala = Lyrically talented, blessed, gifted, geniune, unique, smart, student, teacher, seeker, revealer, custodian of knowledge and so much more!
Now this is real.
dude this guy has to be one of the best rapper i have ever seen in my life
by far the best I have seen to date.

Just amazing best rapper in uk if not world Every1 needs akala knowledge is power for blacks and whites Browns yellows it's all good the system rules n this guy sees it all and expresses it with a unreal vocabulary.
this is real rap, 99% of rappers can't do this. Akala is far smarter than most rappers.
You meant people XD
*all
@ sorankurdi, 99%? Why couldn’t it be 100%
most ,or all?
Akala smarter than most people nevermind rappers this was next level
Akala, Been listening to your stuff since the days of "its not a rumour" I have seen the progression, the growth, amazing F64. nuff respect
Knowledge is power!
It always takes me like 24mins to finish every Akala track cos I never stop rewinding every 4 lines! God bless your muthafukin mind!!
Take this Q, make P and end up with a Key. God.
this is one of the best f64's large up akala!
Whose gonna raise micheal??? whos gonna adopt this mothafucka??? if no one does within 24 hours then i will
IluminadaRecords he’s dead though 🤷🏾♂️
@@odb9671 ☝️👌🤫
I knew to just click like before even watching because i expect nothing but words of wisdom to come out of his mouth , great flow, great lyricist !
Knowledge Is Power
Best lyricist in the uk scene
Whewww!
Not Just in the Uk... This dude is making a strong case to be one of the best in the rap game peroid!
Most appropriate F64 to start 2012. Well done SmokeyBarz. Some will listen to this twice and still wont be able to keep up.
Better than any American rapper that's for damn sure!
eminem?

Peace bro 😎💙🐾
Way better than eminem
Skill wise as good as any, but there is many usa rappers top tier tbh could name 15 easy
That rap is literally urban artwork personified. You gotta respect him for that.
This ain't house music therefore it sucks.
Back to lil wayne, and drake, that's where the shits at
omg this guy can go on for days and never get old.
Didn't go out like scarface , no one ever does !!!, one of the most realistic bars ever spat !!!!!
what Akala does takes knowledge and constant practice on your craft.
You gain wisdom, learn, and keep doing what you love!
KEEP IT UP!
WOW, THIS IS REAL EPIC!!!! What a talented family...
hard bars!
Absolutely amazing. This guys bars just leave me mesmerised
yet still im here sippin my drink, blazin my spliff....big up akala one of them artists that make me think bout bettering myself
This is so sick Jamal i'm freaking out at the intro!
I got so excited when I see another Akala Video..
I met Akala backstage at The Mix festival in Burgess park and getting a chance to chat with him and discuss his motivations was the thing that convinced me to pick up a mic again.
This will never get old
Lyrical dexterity and wisdom. Blessed story teller. Modern sage.
THAT WAS FLIPPING SICK
Real spit! Much respect Akala and SB. TV!
Love how he manages to mirror puns flow slighty... incredible
Dope bars, dope beat. Probably still my fave F64.
holly shit this was so good, Akala deserves so much more success. He is defensively one of the best in the UK
Akala is a living legend. Jamal is too for bringing him to us.
theres some serious talent coming out of this little island of ours! good to see people like akala guiding it in the right direction. i got a lot of respect for this man.
I can only stare at the screen speechless. Brilliant!

BIG UP MY MAN FOR KEEPING IT REAL ALL THE TIME!
KNOWLEDGE IS POWER
this is the realsest piece of rapping excellence ive seen all year :) and i am gonna look up the opium war.....few rappers can make me wanna do that...nas nd lupe being 2 of them
From following akala on both facebook and twitter ive learnt that all this man does is read and gets knowledge, and boy does it show!
Once again, Akala fails to disappoint. One of the most underrated and articulate rappers in the UK.
Just amazing!
Wow! Akala went in. Powerful stuff! Defo a thumps up
That was unbelievable bravo

Omydazzzz that was some flow!!! love it.

Mmm i feel akala is just that little bit better, love lowkey..
he defines rap, and he is so down to earth.that shit cray

@Whipster007 And what makes you think he is not intelligent? Please explain. He achieved straight A's in school, what are you saying???? Bet you didn't even achieve one.
Lyrics with substance and intellect... Refreshing. Big barz
One of the best MCs in the UK, Refreshing hearing bars about things that matter other than guys just shouting Swag every 5 seconds like they've got torrettes
And as usual, Akala kills it with perfection. That Is Talent in its true form, Standard.
For anyone that's curious about the beat, it's "Dream Shatterer" by Big Punisher!
I always learn something whenever I listen to akala
Nuff respect
@ScorePromotions I'm glad to be opening the show for LOWKEY & AKALA on Friday!!!

@kayvee53 I was going to comment the exact same thing. He paints a picture with lyrics. This is going to be one of the best of 2012.
It's disgusting that this only has 343,432 views!!! Unbelievable!!!
WOW!!! Akala is the best in the game right now, here and across the pond!!
Spectacular.
The Wordplay The Flow The Insane Lyrically and poetry-ism The Word choice The Calm Composure The Best F64.. PERIOD!
So much truth in these barz. Good to see some man keep it real and not acting to some phony image. Big props.
this is amazing!
I love how wheb you go to other rap channels they alwas put that "text" language on. You know, the yeye man dat woz well deep bruv, type of thing. But on here its all cool. Let's keep it this way. And Akala's just so so lyrically good and intelligent.
