AKAI SOLO, DEEM SPENCER, H31R — live event
Within the last two years, AKAI SOLO has trail blazed a bespoke path for himself; carving a glacier sized valley of original lyricism into the rap landscape, at lightning pace. As AKAI SOLO, Daniel Dickson Eburu "weaponizes his quaintness for the sake of keeping the narrative authentic," purveying a wide range of empowering and contemplative emotions in a style that is truly 1 of 1. Flatbush native and captain of Brooklyn rap collective; Tase Grip, AKAI SOLO is the nucleus to a burgeoning new climate within hip hop - surrounding himself with a community of the most groundbreaking and illuminating producers and emcees that call Brooklyn home. deem spencer is getting into the flow. The 27-year-old Queens native retraces his upbringing while wading towards a hopeful future on his fourth album adultSW!M. On adultSW!M, deem’s pensive mood hasn’t left – it’s evolved. deem showcases his evocative bars with collaborations alongside DRAM, MAVI, Orion Sun and additional production from MICHELLE’s own Julian Kaufman, Pip & Stelios, Spenser Williams and others. An ode to finding serenity after the storm, deem’s approach to his most ambitious project yet is equally meditative. Hailing from the gritty section of South Jamaica, Queens, deem’s mellow rhymes have made him an outlier in New York’s rap sphere, but he reinforces that his borough was anything but safe. To protect himself and his family, deem had to find his own orbit, seeking refuge from a local church that guarded him from the streets. In high school, deem often went to church as a safe haven, which helped him fortify relationships throughout South Jamaica so he was always out of harm’s way. Strengthening his neighborhood ties and connection to God, deem’s spiritual origins would later influence adultSW!M to have baptismal textures. Introspective in nature, deem’s abstract quality is both intrinsic and groundbreaking in the contemporary hip-hop landscape. deem spencer may have a reserved disposition, but he gets sincere on adultSW!M, willing to meet listeners where they are.
