Akin Durosimi

AKB as he is referred to by close friends and fans is a Nigerian-born Independent artist who has always had the rap itch. He started writing rap music way back in 1993 and soon after found himself in the music studio where he recorded some tracks and vocals on solo projects as well as featuring as a guest rapper on other collaborations. His musical influences include such rap luminaries as Lords of the Underground, Redman, Blackmoon, Mos Def, KRS One, and a few other east coast hip hop artists. His music style is thought-provoking and non-conventional; sometimes rapid-fire, but interspersed with a positive approach to social discourse and real-life experiences. Ultimately, AKB draws inspiration from his upbringing in Lagos, Nigeria and his music albeit Western is also heavily influenced by his roots. Another major past time of his is writing. This passion resulted in his first feature film entitled "PUNCH ROLLA" which he wrote and served as the executive producer.
