Every now and again you come across a mixtape, that makes you run back to your childhood, the days where you fell in love with the music that you wish was still made today. AKS has this mixtape, taking popular tracks and putting his own stamp on them. A lyrical monster, who is able to flow over a track to make it feel like his own, and even more challenging he is able to use clever wordplay while making it flow effortlessly.
AKS has taken influences from Ty, the British rapper, and you can hear similarities in both their style, sound and flow, but this can only be seen as a good thing, as Ty is iconic within British Hip-Hop, and AKS still remains strong enough in his sound to be seen as an individual. A stripped back hip-hop sound of lyrics, urban stories and realness, the real essence of Hip-Hop is brought out and can be heard shining through on every song.
