AKS Wins The Cordless Show "People's Vote"

Cast your minds back to March of 2009 and you'll remember a piece we did in our 'New Flava/New Kid On The Block' segment about a young Deptford MC who released a mixtape called 'A Miracle In The Making'??? That young man was none other than AKS, but you already knew that right?

Part of The Midas Touch crew, AKS stayed on his grind and built on the success of AMITM to make it on to UK hip hop scene radar, eventually becoming one of the nominees of the Cordless Shows' People's Vote (pretty much leading the way from the beginning in the voting tables), and after some hard graft and shameless Twitter/Myspace/FaceBook promo work he was crowned the winner.

In the video below AKS talks about his journey, winning the compeition and his future plans!





Everyone at Social Writers would like to congratulate AKS on his success and wish him even more as he begins his journey to stardom.

UK STAND UP

NEW FLAVA / NEW KID ON THE BLOCK: AKS

UK STAND UP!!!

Now you know it's only right that we support our homegrown talent, and one of the newest acts to fly the Union Jack is 23 year old Deptford resident AKS.

AKS, (part of The Midas Touch Collective along with fellow rapper Phoenix and rapper/singer J. The Exodus), is said to be 'built on introspective reflections, memorable lyrics and an earnest and commanding tone'.

With his new mixtape, 'A Miracle In The Making', AKS exhibits his skills over beats covering a number of genres from Pop to Neo Soul which showcases his diversity and ability to appeal to an audience across the board.

Describing the process of making the mixtape AKS says,

“In a way I feel as though I blindfolded myself, felt around the scene and my own catalogue a little and picked out a couple oddly shaped objects thinking I could build something useful out of 'em. And I have.”

"'A miracle in the making' is me dipping my toe in the water knowing full well that be it cold or lukewarm I’m still gonna take a run up and dive in the pool.”

With production from Nutty P, Red Skull, Jesse P. and Chemo, AKS glides nicely through each track with a seasoned swagger and definitely holds his own on some of the hottest tracks around right now!

AKS’ forthcoming single “Swagger” drops in Summer 2009 followed by a winter release of his album Do Miracles Happen?.

We all need to start supporting our own UK artists! Let's stop saying it and DO IT!!
