RARE AKUMA

Rising star of the Belgian hip-hop scene

Rare Akuma is one of the rising stars of the Belgian hip-hop scene. Lefto selects him in 2018 for 'Made in Belgium' and in 2019 he receives the Chase Award for Best Belgian Urban Artist during the Red Bull Elektropedia Awards. From London to the US, his name is buzzing on the Underground circuit and with millions of streams on Spotify, his career is heading in the right direction. Zwangere Guy simply calls him "the most interesting artist I've encountered in Belgium in recent years". On 'Wie Is Guy?' he made the beats of the hard-hitting closing track 'U Ma Is U Pa' and on 'Brutaal' he made 'Guttergang II'. For his own ( 2nd) album 'dirtytwominus' - with a nod to the Belgian country code +32 - he collaborates with Yung Mavu, DVTCH NORRIS, Tsar B, KRANKk and Kleine Crack. In addition to dark trap, gangsta rap, hip-hop bangers and experimental noise we hear even sounds that have nothing to do with hip-hop.  Rules are simply made to be broken.  Check . him . out !
