Evolving to become an emblem of understanding and empathy in a discordant world, hip-hop artist Akuu has always lingered on his mission – to be the lifting voice among his listeners, to resonate with their hardships and guide their journey towards self-expression.

His performance of “Cold Cut” in Los Angeles secured him second place in a competition and guaranteed his entry into the finals in Miami, 2024. His music, far from being a mere compilation of notes and beats, nurtures sentiments of comfort and catharsis.
“Cold Cut”, with its arresting bell arrangement and a rhythmic fusion of snares and robust vocals is nothing short of an exhilarating experience. It’s hard-hitting hook, multiple syllable rhymes, alliterative lyrics, and aggressive nature underscore the raw expertise of Akuu. Undoubtedly, the track disseminates an empowering, defiant atmosphere that encourages listeners to brave the world with unwavering grit and determination.
Beyond “Cold Cut”, Akuu is already midway through another 3-song project, a testament to his evolving versatility and artistic growth over the years.
