Straight from the talent spot that is Broadwater Farm where successful artists Headie One & RV have also come from, OFB’s rapper Akz is back with his new single ‘Trust’ produced by Don Diligent.
Akz is one of the youngest members of OFB who shot to popularity after his ‘Plugged In’ session with Fumez the Engineer hit over 2 million views just last year. This year we have seen the London based rapper take new heights with the success of his single ‘Staycation’ and freestyle ‘Smokey’.
OFB are known not only for their unapologetically raw style but also as one of the most notorious estates in London. The crew aim to change this through their music. OFB have collectively received millions of YouTube views and became one of the most hyped crews in the London scene.
On this track the young spitter delivers his raw and rugged rap style over melodic drill vibes. His effortless flows are a match for this contagious number. The visuals come courtesy of TV Toxic, as we see Akz showing us his flashy new lifestyle. The energy throughout the video matches that of the lyrics. Featuring appearances of his crew in the clip, the lyrics let us know the importance of trust amongst crews in London.
Akz is looking to follow the success of his fellow crew members with this one. ‘Trust’ builds up to the release if his anticipated mixtape ‘The Come Up 1’ which will be released on the 26th of November. The mixtape features fellow OFB members Bandokay and Double Lz, as well as other thriving UK drill rappers Headie One and Abra Cadabra.
The rising star that is OFB’s Akz is just getting started.
