Da Circle feat. Immortal Technique- Napalm

For Akir, words aren’t just words—they’re credos, rallying cries; a way of life.  His name, for example, is an acronym for “Always Keep It Real” has zero to do with tired rap clichés, or a small-minded view of what rap is and can be.  Akir’s trademark raspy flow, his intricate nonstop rhyme patterns and his ear for soulful, dramatic beats (many of them self-produced) aren’t some gangster fantasy and if there is one thing that comes across in Akir’s music—its real life.  

2013 finds Akir bringing the spotlight back to music with his new forthcoming LP The Plan; which will be released on 9-24-0213 via Viper Records and again, words aren’t just words and his album title is not just an album title.  “The Plan is just that” Akir states, “my map for a musical journey on the way to becoming better."

The Plan is produced in majority by Akir and his beat-making parternership with Ty Steez (The Sound) along with Omen with features from his “Rebel Army” brothers Immortal Technique, Poison Pen & Swave Sevah and is a major-step forward for the lyricist and producer. 

The Plan promises to make 2013 a huge year for Akir as he says “this album has another level of music presence, taking my pre-existing formula to a larger audience.  My first-project, Street Edition, was for the streets, but now I am aiming for the world”!

Old No. 7 (featuring G-Eazy)

Snak The Ripper - Karma (Prod. by The Audible Doctor)

Village Voice Premiere: http://bit.ly/1yQMA89

The rapper Constant Flow rolls with Immortal Technique and is currently readying his suitably incendiary Ascension album (out September 2nd via Viper Records). Ahead of the project's release date, CF has dropped a new track titled "Dog Tags." While you're streaming the rambunctious rap workout, which also features verses from Swave Sevah and Akir, read on to digest Constant Flow's words explaining away the song's concept, what it's like working under Immortal Tech, and how he'd change parts of the prison system's private sector.

Q: What's the concept behind "Dog Tags?
It's basically like a roll call, so something similar to what is done in the marines, army or any military group. We actually created the song right in the studio from scratch -- it was a very organic feel. Swave Sevah, Akir and myself are all a part of a team named Rebel Arms so in the chorus we all mention our names to signify who we are and what we represent -- on my section of the chorus I say, "CF put killer on my Dog Tag," Swave says, "Swave, put gorilla on my dog tag", and Akir says, " Akir, ain't no one realer on my dog tag." So I consider myself to be a killer on the mic and in the booth; Swave is a gorilla in the battle scene and AKIR's name is an acronym for Always Keep It Real so he incorporated the "realer" part into his chorus to reflect that connection.

Q: How would you describe Southpaw's production on the track?
Southpaw's production brings a militant theme. The song is very aggressive and is an introduction to who Rebel Arms is.

Q: What do Swave Sevah and Akir bring with their verses?
Swave brings his Harlem style and the fact he's a phenomenal battle rapper also adds more of a hardcore tone to the track. The warrior spirit is something that Swave and I talk about a lot and that's also present in "Dog Tags." Akir brings the smooth revolutionary flow so it was convenient to have him finish the song the way he did.

Q: At one point in you verse you take aim at the "private sector." What reforms would you most like to push through?
Reforms for the private sector that I would like to see implemented are in the prison industry. Because of the privatization of prisons and the fact these corporations which own them are mainly profit driven, these incentives in my opinion will only lead to an increase in incarceration rates among Latinos and African Americans just so money can be made and quotas can be met. In general, the United States imprisons more of its own citizens than any of the first world countries.

Q: Being that you're signed to Viper Records, what sort of advice has Immortal Technique given you while you were recording the album?
Technique has always given sound advice in life and music. He explained to me that the release of my album may be a life changing event for me. He believes in the project and myself and has mentioned that Ascension may be a catalyst for greater things to come.

Q: So what can people expect from 'Ascension' when they hear it?
The album's filled with interesting twist and turns from the title track which introduces myself to the people to "Dog Tags" showcasing the more militant CF. Then there's "Moment of Peace" featuring Immortal Tech which deals with the breaking of stereotypes and "Celebrate Life" which deals with the idea of finding life in death.

Constant Flow (feat. Swave Sevah & Akir) - "Dog Tags" (prod. by Southpaw)

Potholes In My Blog Premiere: http://bit.ly/XI99As&#13;
Unless you wanna be a trendy rapper whose hype exceeds their talent, you need to get a firm understanding of Hip-Hop's foundation as a conduit for expression. After paying dues for years with his next-level wordplay, New Jersey's Constant Flow is hardly a new jack to the game. A true scholar whose dedication to perfecting his craft is both inspiring and aggressive, it's only right that he makes his Viper Records debut with "Anatomy of a Revolutionary" -- the lead single taken from his forthcoming inaugural LP, 'Ascension.' 

As Constant Flow explains, a Frankenstein-esque creation made up of the qualities of history's finest revolutionaries, we get a deep understanding of what he's all about and what he's capable of in terms of lyrical depth and ability. The frantic nature of the beat, produced by Southpaw, coupled with Flow's storytelling makes "Anatomy of a Revolutionary" a calling card to all other contenders in the Hip-Hop game to step their game up. 'Ascension,' is set for a September 2nd release date, and is now available for pre-order via iTunes. If you dig lyrics that leap off of the page, make sure Constant Flow is on your radar!
