AKEEM IS KNOWN FOR HIS GREAT PUNCH LINES/BARS AND THE UNIQUE MANNER HE STRUCTURES HIS SONGS. HE IS NEVER AFRAID OF CREATING THEMATIC MUSIC WITH NO TOPIC EVER OFF-LIMITS; HIS MUSIC RUNS DEEPER THAN JUST RHYMING WORDS OR STRINGING TOGETHER CATCHY BEATS. IT COMES FROM A PLACE THAT WILL MAKE YOU REFLECT AND THINK ON IT FOR YEARS TO COME HAVING LEFT A LASTING IMPRESSION.
WHEN AKEEM DECIDED AT 15 THAT HE WANTED TO BE AN ARTIST, LITTLE DID HE KNOW THAT THE ROUGH JACKSON, MISSISSIPPI ENVIRONMENT HE GREW UP IN WAS JUST THE MOTIVATING FACTOR HE NEEDED TO GET TO WHERE HE IS TODAY. HAVING BUILT THE THICK SKIN AND RESILIENCE REQUIRED TO KEEP GOING NO MATTER WHAT STUMBLING BLOCKS WERE IN THE WAY, THERE IS AN EVIDENT GRIT AND EDGE TO HIS WORK THAT IS SOMETIMES INEXPLICABLE. AKEEM’S MUSICAL JOURNEY REALLY TOOK OFF AFTER RELEASING HIS DEBUT EP, “ROLLIN”, WHICH FEATURES THE SINGLES: “ROLLIN”, “MY NAME”, “SUCKA FREE”, “BE ALRIGHT”, AND “FOR REAL FOR REAL”. IT WASN’T UNTIL 2020, WHEN AKEEM RELEASED ON FACEBOOK WHAT WOULD BECOME A VIRAL SENSATION, “KEEMY CASANOVA”, WHERE AKEEM PAIRED HIS LYRICAL ABILITIES WITH HIS ACTING SKILLS. KEEMY CASANOVA BECAME AN ALTER- EGO, CHANNELING 1970’S ‘PIMP’ CULTURE. THE RISE OF KEEMY CASANOVA GARNERED THE ATTENTION OF MANY CELEBRITIES INCLUDING NBA STAR LOU WILLIAMS, WHO SIGNED AKEEM TO HIS INDEPENDENT LABEL WINNERS UNITED. FOLLOWING THE SUCCESS OF “KEEMY CASANOVA”, AKEEM RELEASED THE FOLLOW UP TO THE VIRAL RECORD, DROPPING A FULL 70’S INSPIRED EP, “MACK IN THE DAY”.
OUTSIDE OF RECORDING, AKEEM SPENT TIME ON THE ROAD AS A SUPPORTING ARTIST ON JACK HARLOW’S “CRÈME DE LA CRÈME” TOUR THIS PAST SUMMER/FALL OF 2021. RECENTLY, AKEEM RELEASED HIS DEBUT ALBUM, “D.E.A.D (DO EM ALL DIRTY)” UNDER HIS TRUE PERSONA, AKEEM ALI. AKEEM FOLLOWED UP IN 2022 WITH THE RELEASES OF “SHOW YA RIGHT” AND “MOVE” FT. LOU WILL. AKEEM ALI CONTINUES TO PUSH THE NEEDLE IN THE RAP GAME WITH HIS QUICK WIT AND CREATIVE TAKE ON MUSIC. AKEEM DRAWS FROM BOTH THE LIGHT AND DARKNESS OF LIFE ALONG WITH THE GOOD AND BAD PARTS OF HIMSELF, TO KEEP CREATING EXCELLENT HIP-HOP MUSIC.
