Akir drops new single with Immortal Technique

For Akir, words aren't just words - they're credos, rallying cries; a way of life. His name, for example, is an acronym for "Always Keep It Real" has zero to do with tired rap cliches, or a small-minded view of what rap is and can be. Akir's trademark raspy flow, his intricate nonstop rhyme patterns and his ear for soulful, dramatic beats (many of them self-produced) aren't some gangster fantasy and if there is one thing that comes across in Akir's music - it's real life. 2013 finds Akir bringing the spotlight back to music with his new forthcoming LP The Plan; which will be released on 9-26-0213 via Viper Records and again, words aren't just words and his album title is not just an album title. "The Plan is just that" Akir states, "my map for a musical journey on the way to becoming better." The Plan is produced in majority by Akir and his beat-making partnership with Ty Steez (The Sound) along with Omen with features from his "Rebel Army" brothers Immortal Technique, Poison Pen & Swave Sevah and is a major-step forward for the lyricist and producer. The Plan promises to make 2013 a huge year for Akir as he says "this album has another level of music presence, taking my pre-existing formula to a larger audience. My first project, Street Edition, was for the streets, but now I am aiming for the world!"
