"Conscious and wiser than his years Akala has establishing himself as one
of the most highly regarded artists in the UK in a very short space of
time, ever since his immaculate flow and heartfelt lyrics first surfaced
on the white label and video for 'War' / 'Banga 4 Da Streets' last year.
Now with his first single 'Roll wid us' (and the heavy D'explicit remix)
getting rinsed on both commercial and pirate radio and the accompanying
video getting regular plays on both Channel U and MTV Base 2005
definitely looks like it will be a big year for Akala and his IllaState
records. From his highly anticipated album being released this year, to
being chosen to attend the Royal Institution of mathematics master
classes, owning his own restaurant in Ayai Napa, co-owning his own
record label, being the brother of Mobo and Mercury award winner
Ms.Dynamite and playing for West Ham and Wimbledon as a youth, Akala's
name is truly befitting, which is a Buddhist term meaning immovable"
