Maintaining an underground status during his entire ten-year career, Boston-native Akrobatik has been one of hip-hop’s best kept secrets. Continuing his legacy with the new single Put A Stamp On It, Akro is assisted by two of the biggest names in indie rap. Talib Kweli chips in an equal amount of rhymes (the song could easily be credited with either artist as the lead), and the late great J. Dilla provides the background. While that alliance alone should attract indie fans to give this a listen, even the unsuspecting listener will be hard pressed to feel disappointed. Akrobatik’s third full-length album, Absolute Value, is set to hit stores and online retailers February 19th.
This is solid. Akrobatik is lucky too. Those Boston sports teams are having a damn good run (BoSox win WS, Pats in SB and Celtics are tearing through the East). If only Chicago was as lucky of late.
Very cool beat done by J. Dilla for sure. I never heard of Akrobatic, so I guess he is Hip-Hop's biggest secret. That's not a good thing when you want to make money tho. I think he sounds pretty good, kind of like Pharoah and has pretty much the same flow. Talib Kills this track. Akrobatic has potential.
THIS RIGHT HERE IS THE REAL HIP HOP SHIT. OLD SCHOOL WAT YA KNOW ABOUT THIS SHYTT FUCK THE NEW OLD RAPPERS THE CAN FUC WITH THE OLD SCHOOL SHIT . THEY STARTED MUSIC. I WISH MUSIC WAS LIKE THIS NOW. STOP HATIN...!!!!!!!
