Akala - Bit By Bit - Watch Now
Musically, lyrically and philosophically, “Freedom Lasso” travels far
beyond Akala’s debut. Reflecting the disorder and flux of contemporary life,
“Freedom Lasso” is an energetic and visionary essay on the modern way,
drawing influences from the whole spectrum of music – dance, rap, rock, punk
and folk. Together with longtime producing partner Rez, the pair have created a
body of work that shifts even further from hip hop’s dominant
beats-and-rhymes-and-braggadocio model: The Cure, Siouxsie & The Banshees,
Prince, Andre 3000, The Prodigy, Tricky and Nine Inch Nails make strange
bedfellows, yet they all feature as emerging influences on an artist who’s put
in time figuring out how he sees rock ‘n’ roll history fit together.
