Sister Souljah (Coldest Winter Ever)

Was IceCube right? Is America really AmeriKKKA?
Strange Fruit..Look what we done came through. 41, 50 gunshots, it's still the same noose. Aim, shoot!  Bodies riddled in bulletholes and it don't even matter if we little or fully grown. They aiming at the tone of our skin. You never see no white men shot by accident. Ain't that some shit?  Then they call it self defense like that man was trying to kill you with his wallet. Man that don't make sense!  Trying to take away the fathers and sons, sounding crazy talking about you thought a 3 Musketeer was a gun.  That's a candybar stupid! no need to start shooting. How you make mistakes like that on a job and don't lose it? Give a man a license to kill, he gon use it.  Til we set em straight, organize like we were Jewish and make justice prevail in the murder of Sean Bell cuz if we don't we invite em to bring us some more hell.

Strange Fruit Aim Shoot
I'm uptop in New York seeing southern leaves.  Another brother dies, another mother grieves.  Cries fall on deaf ears.
In order for us to protect ours do have to get theirs? Are we supposed to live our lives in fear, just let it go, don't sweat the blood,  shed tears, remain passive like we been doing for years, take the neighbor out the hood and watch our peers disappear?    Too many of us just gone, like Keyshawn Watson, Amadou and Patrick Dourismond!  The list'll make you catch chills.  Got me thinking back to the day they attacked and killed Emmett Til.  You thinking times are different but it's the same deal. Instead of white hoods now they hide behind shields.  Maybe justice won't stay blind time will reveal. It's time to STOP RAPPING and DO SOMETHING FOR REAL!!!

From the block to the top. I'm bred and bound for the bright lights of the big city.  MSG is the goal. Turning naysayers to yes yes y'allers since 2010.

Welcome 2 the official Soundcloud of Akustyx, the Science of Sound.  Akustyx consists of BRAF (Beats Rhymes And Flows) and See Watts.  If you dig bars, poetry, style and substance... press play.  

Heavily influenced by artists like Michael Jackson, Run DMC, LL Cool J, Mc Shan, Big Daddy Kane, KRS One, Rakim, Slick Rick, Shinehead, Supercat, Ice Cube, Grand Puba, Guru, Nas, Jay Z, Ghostface, Meth, Red Man, Black Thought, Busta, Common and Mos Def. He started freestyling then writing in Flatbush, rapping under the alias, Flipside, (which later evolved to Mr. Flipsta).   Soon, he went from flowing off the head in ciphers to recording in studios and doing live performances as part of the rap group, Bakstabbaz.  Highlights of this endeavor include opening for Wu Tang Clan and being featured on the remix to the legendary Chuck D’s single entitled ”NO.”   Ironically, the group broke up soon after this success.  
Braf went on hiatus from recording and focused on completing college and starting his teaching career.  (He’s a high school English and health teacher at a performance arts high school.) Meanwhile, he continued writing songs and soon ran into an old friend, See Watts who had similar experiences, talents and aspirations. Together, they created their own independent record label, Akustyx Ent.   
In a business where many follow the mantra of less is more, Braf paves his own path by making music that overflows with poetry, and varying subject matter.  His love of family, history, community and yes, even comic books are obvious in his music.   His first solo project, “Manchild in the Promised Land,” can be purchased on iTunes.  He’s rocked stages from NYC to Cali.   His balance of style, substance and stage presence is moving and refreshing.  Sky’s the limit for this lyricist whose motto is persistence beats resistance.
