AKIR grew up throughout New York City, DC, Massachusetts, New Jersey, Atlanta, and Maryland, which is only partially responsible for his diversified sound and ability to switch it up.
AKIR first entered the hip-hop scene as an on-air personality with WNMH 97.9 (Mass.) from 1994 to 1996.
His flow is compelling and vividly euphonic with lyrics that are a testament to hip-hop in its purest form.', 'Maybe, it was the first concert he saw (Run DMC and the Fat Boys) or the first album he owned (Public Enemy) that sparked his creative flame for hip-hop.

  Akir - Creative Legacy - Interview   (Site not responding. Last check: )
Akir : Yeah, the album drops on March 21st and basically I felt like it should be tradition for the ‘elders’ to drop jewels on the younger generation and give them guidance as to what is in their future.
Akir : Yeah as not only to have a well rounded ear, but there are a lot of different places where I grew up that have a lot of different ethnicities and feels and in order for that to come out there needed to be those elements in there.
Akir : I definitely agree because you don’t have the ability to plaster the market with a whole bunch of marketing and promotion and the largest promotion for an independent is word of mouth, you rely on that and your stage performance.

Akir rides the beat perfectly, as he attacks those who 'turn their back on their people'.
Akir covers these same subjects elsewhere on the album (and better, I might add) plus the production on both tracks are mediocre so their both really worthless.
Akir's music has the ability to make you think, which is something a lot of music (in Hip-Hop and other genres as well) really needs.

Akir tales tell of warriors who brave death rather than break their word, or of maidens who seek the advice of dragons on a particularly difficult point of honor.
He wrote of "a high hidden realm of man on the farthest shore of the sea, guarded by high mountains and fierce sorcery." The line of the sultans was already well-established at this time, and claimed descent from the legendary seeress Maaliya.
All things Akir became fashionable again, from the worship of the Luxurite gods to the Alwari Brotherhoods, to the sorcery of the genies.

 CD Baby: AKIR: Street Edition Volumes 1&2
AKIR's strongest influences include: the finesse of SLICK RICK, the mellow vibe and consistent originality of Q-TIP, the smooth delivery and GQ style of BIG DADDY KANE, the complexity and pietism of NAS, the rapid fire flow and intensity of KOOL G RAP, and the lyricism of RAKIM.
The track was actually produced by Akir, which seems to be the norm now in the realm of underground Hip Hop, MC's producing their own tracks.
Akir is often seen beside his labelmate Immortal Technique, and though his vocal style isn't quite as intense, his content is. They appear side by side on the b-side duet "Treason," but Akir shows himself to be an artist-to-watch on his own merits on his self-produced debut single "Politricks."

 Akir: Legacy - PopMatters Music Review
Then there’s Akir, an artist who carefully sidestepped the “playa” image, who injected 16 shots of his intelligent wordplay on his 2004 release, Street Edition Volume 1 and 2, and who, without a major record label, sold and promoted Street Edition to a wide audience.
Hopefully, Akir won’t follow in Nas’ footsteps and allow his image to change so rapidly the whole thing becomes convoluted and confusing.
Akir hasn’t hit his peak yet, but this album is certainly a step in the right direction.

AKIR grew up around the sounds of Stevie Wonder and Marvin Gaye, and with a Jamaican family he heard a lot of Bob Marley, Issac Hayes, and met jazz musician Earl Klugh when he was five, "I think he had a lot to do with my decision to be in music.

 CD Baby: AKIR: Legacy
Akir is just that guy, who expresses his love for his family and friends, and for the place he calls home.
He’s not a conscious rapper as much as he is a rapper with a conscious, in that his scope is much broader than those rappers who rapped about politics alone.
Akir wants to explore, and he does so with Jean Grae in “Tropical Fantasy”, where they both talk about what they’d both like to look for in an ideal world, if it wasn’t for the harshness of reality.
