Until today, Akbar was unknown to me (but probably not Stix, he knows everything) and I kind of feel like I missed the bandwagon already. His album ‘Planet X’ already has a refined and detailed maturity that I, in all honestly wasn’t expecting. His flows and punchlines are pretty unique, and his vocal tone’s has the warm of an old skool MC, 7 releases in. ‘Good Food’ is a nice representation of his skill, and whilst I wasn’t initially a fan of his patrois-style rhyming on this one, it’s a grower and gives the song a nice twist to it. Overall, it’s a good feel-good record, and should be a steady platform for Akbar to convince a few more people to join his team.
For fans of God Cypher Divine, Living Legends, Too Many T’s.
