Shakespeare
Akala
WE SAY
22 year-old Akala (real name Kingslee Daley, brother of Ms Dynamite) blew us away at his recent Wireless Festival appearance. The wit, intelligence and scathing lyrical ability on display make It's Not A Rumour one of the strongest debut albums of 2006 – one that was critically acclaimed by a large cross-section of the British press. The fusion of hip-hop and rock music makes the potential for crossover all the more promising. Released on Akala’s own Illastate label, this next single is playlisted on Radio 1, where Jo Whiley and Zane Lowe support, along with 1Xtra and Kiss 100. TV support comes from MTV Base. JF London Gig: 28 June, Hammersmith Apollo W6 (supporting Kelis)
