AN OLDIE BUT A GOODIE: AKALA'S 4th FIRE IN THE BOOTH
In a sea of gunfingers, abc-style sing-alongs and boasts of extreme violence, Akala's heart, insight and passion cuts through with an impact that long overstays it's welcome.

Bringing together straight-up FIRE wordplay and whole heap of empathy, he's always strived to enlighten as much as entertain. This edition of 'Fire in the Booth' also features a heartfelt spoken-word piece on the history of man's self-destructive nature.
