Professor P and DJ Akilles are a critically acclaimed hiphop-duo from Uppsala, Sweden. Since 2006 they have been a significant part of the Scandinavian music-scene and they have received worldwide attention with their vinyl EP “Maintain” (2010) and their full-length album “The Realism” (2012). With well-rehearsed live-shows filled with unexpected features and crowd-pleasing surprises, Pro & Ak have become famous for controlling the stage. They have supported legendary hip-hop acts like De La Soul, D.I.T.C. and Talib Kweli and are frequently booked around Scandinavia.
“Brews and Good News” is a 6 track EP recorded in Uppsala, Sweden and New York, USA. All songs are produced and arranged by Professor P & DJ Akilles and feature artists such as legendary D.I.T.C. member A.G. (of Showbiz & A.G.), Los Angeles’ own Blu (of Blu & Exile) along with Scandinavian talents Gracias (Finland) and Felix De Luca (Denmark). Musically the key components are dope beats, fresh rhymes and ill cuts.
