AKA just keeps bringing the hits. Shortly after he dropped Dreamwork’ featuring Yanga, he was battling himself for the top spot on the local iTunes charts as the new single saw itself at number one while One Time sat firmly at number two before the tracks switched positions. It’s a clear indication that AKA is a remarkable rapper and that the country has his back.
The single premiered on BBC 1 Xtra in the UK before getting radio spins in South Africa, Tanzania, Swaziland, Botswana, Uganda, Kenya and Nigeria. The song is another banger from the rapper. The song is one of his best produced singles to date. The ‘80s-inspired synth over a catchy beat is something different and, again, makes the rapper stand out. AKA’s swagger and confidence oozes out of the song as he spits out yet another flawless rap. AKA blends the perfect amount of hip-hop and pop into his music and it’s that which has made him one of the most successful rappers out of South Africa.
“AKA displays his raw and now refined talent in this pop track. The song embodies all the elements of a great song, a classic. We have had unprecedented requests from radio stations all around Africa and a worldwide premier of One Time in the UK. One Time is the soundtrack for the urban movement across the continent and will be a favourite song of this generation. It has everlasting appeal… AKA is ready for the World,” expresses Benza, Vth Season Managing Director and co-founder. Now all we need is for AKA to drop an album…
