About

Label: Cocoyea Music

Manager: Third Degree

Bio: Akinde has few equals when it comes to successfully blending the sounds of the Caribbean with that of the urban United States. A rich blend of reggae, soca, calypso and a generous serving of hip hop make up the ingredients of this explosive lyrical energy that is nothing less than absolute magic.... See Full Bio

Press

“‘Looking Glass’ and ‘Passport’, are probably more emblematic of Akinde’s actual style, and they’re a bit more rappy (despite the fact that the latter definitely has more of a Caribbean influence than the former) and in that respect, I think I’d probably refer to Akinde as a rapper of sorts. But then . . . I mean you just can’t rap when Saucy drops in and that tune, ‘This Time’ is pretty damn spectacular. It starts off nice and slow, but when it starts pulsing you know the insanity isn’t far off and Belfon certainly doesn’t disappoint and Akinde, for his part, jumps in with more typical Soca deejaying and holds his own in the face of the absolute storm that is Saucy Wow. So keep an eye out for Akinde as well and go and pick up ‘This Time’, right now.”
