The songwriter and
producer of hip hop known as AK has released his latest official LP
album, “L.I.F.E.” The album contains 12 original AK tracks for an
approximate total listening time of 45 minutes. It has been proudly
published as an independent release without the involvement of the
corporate music industry on the Malik Entertainment record label.
Aggressive, full of bass, and packed with attitude, “L.I.F.E”
showcases AK as one of the most intriguing hip hop artists of the
year so far and promises that he has plenty more where that came
from.
AK cites as main artistic
influences Tupac Shakur, the Notorious B.I.G, Big Pun, N.W.A, Big L,
and Mobb Deep. AK's own sound has been described as smooth, rolling,
and marked by his trademark direct delivery. With an emphasis on
poetry underscored by minimalist beats and classy, nineties-style
melody lines, “L.I.F.E” by AK has a little something for
everybody.
“AK’s strong
vocal delivery makes me think of artists as diverse as Drake, J Cole,
and Kanye West,” says one representative for Malik Ent. “It makes
for a really powerful and dynamic feel.”
Asked to describe the
overall meaning of “L.I.F.E,” Malik writes, “The album shares
with listeners a great message about life and a perspective of AK's
view on life. Not only does the album have a great message but there
is lots of talent provided. Lots of songs from the album talk about
friendship, love, women, hope, money, fame and happiness. Hopefully
'L.I.F.E' can inspire the listeners to enjoy and celebrate the gift
of life when they play the music from the album.”
AK has publicly noted his
disappointment in the current direction of hip hop as a whole, as has
his label. Malik has described “L.I.F.E” by AK as a record which
aims to help turn the course of rap music.
“This album is a
much-needed breath of fresh air,” writes Malik, “particularly in
a genre such as hip-hop. Everyone seems to be stuck in the same old
cliches, and as a result, this particular music scene is becoming a
little bit stale. However, every once in a while something fantastic
and full of heart comes up, just like AK’s new release.”
“L.I.F.E” by AK
on the Malik Entertainment label is available from over 600 quality
digital music stores online worldwide now. Get in early, hip hop
fans.
