If style and grace ever teamed up with grit and grind, you’d get AKila K. Straight out of Brooklyn, NY, this artist is the real deal—born and bred on the sounds of Nas, Jay-Z, Lauryn Hill, Biggie, Kanye, A Tribe Called Quest, and The Fugees. Her music carries that same raw, soulful vibe, balancing street smarts with a versatility that speaks to the heart and the hustle. Now based in Long Island, she’s had the best of both worlds—city grit meets suburban calm—and it shows in her music. That duality is part of what makes her sound hit so different—it’s authentic, relatable, and 100% her.
But let’s be clear—AKila K isn’t just a rapper. She’s a poet, a lyricist, and a musician who can flex on multiple levels. She brings her Caribbean roots into the mix too, playing the steelpan (shout out to Trinidad!) to add a sound that you don’t hear every day. Her music isn’t just about bars; it’s about identity, culture, and storytelling, blending hip-hop, Caribbean vibes, and spoken word into something that feels fresh and real.
In 2021, she dropped When the EP Droppin? (#WTEPD?)—a little appetizer to let folks know she was coming. Then in 2022, she followed it up with her debut album, When the Album Dropping?, officially putting herself on the map. Fast forward to fall 2023, and AKila K kept it moving with Hear Me Out….., an introspective project that gave fans a deeper look into her world. This year, she doubled back with Hear Me Out….. I SAID WHAT I SAID!, leveling up and proving she’s got more to say—and she’s saying it her way.
AKila K isn’t just another artist coming out of NYC; she’s part of a new wave, repping independence and originality to the fullest. With every drop, every line, every beat, she’s showing the world she’s here to stay. In a city that’s birthed some of the greatest to ever do it, AKila K is making her mark—and trust me, she’s just getting started. Contact Info:
