German producer, Insane Beatz, produced the sample free track and album. The new single and the entire album was recorded at Blackwater Audio in Denver, Colorado. AKX is the only emcee featured on the first single, but he might fool listeners because he reverts back and forth with two different vocal styles. The delivery creates an extra layer of density with complex rhyme scheme and “wordplay” skill. The vocally conscious track has deep thought-provoking messages with a boom-bap “golden era hip-hop” undertone and a twist of dancehall reggae in the chorus. The combination of AKXs’ rapid flow, conscious subject matter, head-nodding production and a slice of island flavor is the recipe for the over all Righteous Revolution sound.
AKX migrated to the United States from Trinidad and Tobago in the early 90’s. He worked to put himself through college earning a Bachelor of Science Degree in Business Administration. With hard work, due diligence, a positive attitude, and a fiery drive, AKX was able to overcome difficulties and challenges being an island-born immigrant in the United States. After starting his own Caribbean food catering business, AKX was able to follow his musical dreams by establishing “Righteous Revolution, LLC” and started recording.
Heavily influenced by groups like Public Enemy, Brand Nubian and Dead Prez and artists like KRS-One, Talib Kweli, Nas and Common; he was able to find his own conscious voice and develop himself as a writer and performer with a future of endless possibilities.
Righteous Revolutions’ next show is at The Oriental Theatre in Denver, as a main support for KRS-One on Sunday, August 25th. The upcoming album “Unassimilated” is set to launch with digital and physical distribution on Saturday, October 5th, 2019. This date is also the official album release party with a sixty-minute live performance set at the Boulder Music Festival, please visit www.bouldermusicfest.com for more information.
