HEAR ME OUT….. I SAID WHAT I SAID!
The Album
AVAILABLE NOW!
Not Your Ordinary Album
Continuing the liberating and emotionally charged Hear Me Out….. , AKila K’s latest album, Hear Me Out….. I SAID WHAT I SAID!, takes listeners on a journey of unapologetic self-expression and empowerment. Building on the foundation of her fall 2023 EP, this new release dives deeper into themes of saying it with your chest, resilience, and bold authenticity.
The album is a powerful statement of confidence and individuality, marked by AKila K’s distinctive lyrical prowess and dynamic soundscapes. Each track serves as a testament to her personal growth and her refusal to conform to what the music industry wants a female “rapper” to be. The music blends genres effortlessly, featuring a mix of hard-hitting beats, energetic anthems, and genre-blending experiments that showcase her versatility.
With versatility comes variety, which AKila K takes to a completely different level with this project. Depending on where the listener is listening and/or purchasing this album, the version of the album may differ. Every platform in which this album is available, has a 14th track that seemingly gets better every time you switch platforms. Whether you want the hard hitting beats and lyrics in Cursive (I’m Like That) featuring Syracuse’s own Zak G (only available on streaming platforms), or West Indian influenced I’m Not Sorry (only available when you purchase the album via AKila K’s website), this is yet another example of how AKila K is changing the ways Hip Hop artists can be artists, and showcase their art.
Songs like $38.78 Freestyle and Tennis are charged with assertiveness, while tracks such as DND featuring Energyofash and It’s The….. / Life I Chose reflect a more intimate and vulnerable side of AKila K. The album’s production is rich and varied, incorporating elements of Hip Hop, R&B, and Caribbean influences, providing a backdrop to AKila K’s artistry and candid lyrics.
Overall, Hear Me Out... I SAID WHAT I SAID! is a declaration of personal sovereignty and artistic integrity, reinforcing AKila K’s place as a compelling and fearless voice in Hip Hop.
