Akira the Don
Akira The Don is rapper, producer, writer and cartoonist currently based in London. As an unorthodox, and sometimes controversial, figure in UK Hip Hop, Akira’s world fuses sardonic wit and curious jackets, with eclectic sampling and sing-along anthems; and is topped with a splash of some of the UK’s most established Hip Hop artists.
During their dynamic and spontaneous partnership, Dego and Akira have worked together to write, produce, release tracks, as well as performing in shows across London and the UK.

The Black Piranhas are definitely a force to be reckoned with and…they were a great start to the night. I recommend you check out their MySpace site for some top tunage. I did as soon as I got home and was not disappointed. – CDX
WhyLout? One to look out for then. – CDX
Lastly came the incredible, arms in the air anthem, that is the Elastica sampling ‘Boom’, in which he was joined by the WhyLout? crew. Absolutely fantastic. – CDX
