AKIL THE MC is a Los Angeles based hip-hop emcee, community activist, and host from the legendary group Jurassic 5. In this one drop feature, we are going back to the future. Akil’s authentic 80s flow reminds you of the original birth of Hip-Hop music. Staged in the Bronx, a black borough in New York sets the scene for international music taking form.
Channeling his inner MC, Akil reveals the innermost layers of his mind. The mind is a terrible thing to waste. We must learn how to clean out our thoughts and focus on the present moment. This rap style wouldn’t be complete without some classic 808s and deep heavy bass.
Experienced in writing lyrics, beatboxing, producing music, and rapping, Akil is a versatile DJ on and off the microphone. Gifted with a love for sound and sight, “State of Mind” demonstrates how we can use music to predict the future. In this song, Akil is a storyteller from a distant land. We are preparing to share the message of mind control on the masses before it’s too late.
