Following the release of a new EP and a string of festival appearances this summer, Akala comes to Manchester’s O2 Ritz this November. Known for his politically charged, eye opening and thought provoking lyrics, Akala’s rhythm and flow is widely recognised as one of the most unique and skilled of the UK hip hop scene - known by many as ‘Mr Fire in the Booth’ following his mind blowing freestyle bars for BBC Radio 1Xtra. The emcee’s latest project, Visions, A Comic Book EP is the most recent in the long list of his releases, consisting of an introduction and four chapters of social and political commentary delivered through some of the most intricate, sophisticated and flawless bars.

Akala will be performing at Croatia’s Outlook Festival which celebrates its ten year anniversary from Friday 7th September. He’ll hit the O2 Ritz in Manchester on Thursday 2nd November.
