Hawaii born, AKUA is a Hip-Hop / Rap artist with roots and influence from all walks of music. Utilizing complex rhythms and dark lyrical punchlines AKUA has a style that is intelligent, fierce and unique. Drawing a fanbase of hardcore rap fans, to metal heads, and Drum & Bass aficionados alike, his music is intense, vivid, and inspiring. After overcoming many personal struggles, becoming a single father, and battling inner demons, his inner fire stoked into a raging inferno and AKUA THE GOD was born from the ashes of his former selves. Forging his pain, rage, and aggression into a razor sharp lyrical weapon, AKUA was re-birthed in the studio unleashing savage brutality with his gritty, overdriven bass and raw unique drum programing. No sign of mush-mouthed mumble rap here just intense bars depicting city life and a flow reminiscent of a horror film taking aim at fashion-focused so-called Emcees, overproduced pop artists, and cash flashing pill poppers. His imposing presence and grim demeanor juxtaposed over menacing beats brings a unique vibe to the rap scene, flexing a clearly articulated delivery leaving no questions that he belongs in the rap pantheon. Fans of Run The Jewels, Tech-Nine, Immortal Technique, Jedi Mind Tricks, and RA the Rugged Man will find a kindred spirit in AKUA.
