akala is commerical in some manor but in another he aint, i say he is mostly due to the fact i have heard many of his songs on the radio... but i have not seen his videos on tv.
Only their commercial stuff gets played on the radio. And an artists needs to get recognised so they start of with commercial music some of them. But as you can see this is one of akalas latest tracks and its real talk he’s not aiming for the billboard top 100 he’s aiming for our hearts!
@Yusuf he has recently done a newer track with lowkey and another artist called black the ripper. I found it on youtube while looking through his stuff maybe you should post it up so others can see it.
Hey, my names Yusuf and I’m a university student at Middlesex University. I’m currently living in London and studying computer science.

Music is something everybody listens to and I would like to know what your thoughts are on non commercial artists. So please feel free to comment and put your thought, opinion or view across. Thank you.
