THE ERA OF, THE PRINCE OF HIP HOP.

Throughout the years the hip-hop scene was not as popular as it is now. Hip hop  has been one of the biggest growing genre in mzansi and it keeps getting better. You might have heard of the hip-hop group Entity. This group was were Mr. Kiernan Jordan Forbes started out with his music career. Entity was full of diversity and it something the hip hop scene hasn't seen before. The lyrical content was full with metaphors and similes’ that made listening to their music amazing.

The group was so good they got nominated for the KORA awards. The whole of mzansi was so excited about the group, hence I had so much potential of  being one of the biggest hip-hop groups mzansi has ever had , throughout the years. Unfortunately Entity had to split, one of the reasons being the parents didn't want them to take music as a career. 

Although the parents intervened, this didn't stop aka from chasing his dream. In fact it gave him more reason to prove not only to his friends, parents but himself that he can make music a successful career. AKA showed dedication and hunger by being influential and rubbing shoulders with the industries heavyweights in the game. He later was part of the production collective I.V League. This production group worked with the hip hop giant Pro Kid. Kamza and Buks were those young producers who were part of I.V League who saw potential in AKA hence why the group started.

Now working with experienced artists helped him to see what the masses wanted and how to conduct himself in the public eye. Social media wasn't as big as it is now, but it had an impact on the public. When AKA dropped his EP 24/7/366, the public hear different, creative beats that had a major effect on songs, but that also was accompanied by AKA’s unique lyrics that got people wanting to repeat and listen to the track again. Now so far it might seem as if i'm being bias or what not, but you can not hate on home boy's shine. 

The fact is AKA has all the right to be cocky cos he can actually back it up. with such background and material the had he had, he just had to keep bring out music to the public.his latest by far his most successful album titled LEVELS, has been one of the most successful albums to come out of mzansi. AKA should creativity and versatile by having the likes of TUMI, REASON, JR, DA LES AND BURNA BOY (to name a few).

The evolution of AKA has certainly proven that the combination of social media and the passion of music or what you love, can be profitable. AKA made this music video because of how much the public loved the song, he didn't plan on making "All Eyes On Me" his next single. Lol! You gotta love the power of social media. Enjoy.
