http://www.akirathedon.com In 2009 Video Highway was gonna come out as The Life Equation’s first single, then it got nixed at the last minute cos we couldn’t clear the sample. This video was shot entirely on a Kodak Zi60 (basically an early Flip cam) by me, Joey2tits and Michael Kinsella perks, and edited by me in Sony Vegas. It co-stars Mary Turner, whose voice you can hear on the song (and on lots of my other songs). It never got finished (the synch’s off a lot), but I just found it on an old harddrive and thought you might like to see it.

You can watch the official 2012 Video Highway video here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vj2ALFGwuW8

The final version appeared on The Life Equation which you can get on iTunes: http://bit.ly/mSdbW1 and in the Don shop: http://bit.ly/kZ6SEj

PAX!

Living In The Future 2.5 ft Big Narstie MC Lars Eddie Argos & Scroobius Pip

 

Oh boy! You guys! Look! It’s LIVING IN THE FUTURE 2.5! THE ALL STAR RAP SUPERFRIENDS VERSION! Big Narstie! MC Lars! Scroobius Pip! Hell, I even got a non-rapper, in the shape of Art Brut’s Eddie Argos on there! And they all killed it! I am so proud! Daaaamn!

You can get the 320 kbps CDQ MP3 in the Donshop, on iTunes, and all other major digital retailers. The bundle comes with the instrumental and acapella.

I’ve been plotting this for a while… and I’ve been holding onto it for a good few weeks too, which is not like me at all. That’s cos I needed to wait until I had time to make a dope sleeve for it, which I have done. I also have a dope video in the works. I am saying nil on that, but while you’re waiting, enjoy this slightly animated Listening Post video I put togther this afternoon. It’s actually pretty fipping ace, if I do say so myself.

A big whopping HIGH FIVE to everyone that’s a part of this wonderful piece of music. It is an honour to have you take part in this new version of my eternal song. You are legendary creatures, all of you. You done me proud. Thank you.

Anyway. Enjoy this fine release!

PAX!

In November 2010 Akira The Don & Wonchop started plotting a follow up to their celebrated animated video, Hypocrite. Living In The Futyre 2 looked like it was going to be incredible. By Summer 2011, however, there was still no finished video. 

Will it ever be finished?

Akira The Don lives in hope, as always.

Let us pray.

Surprise! Jamie, first single from the forthcoming compilation LP, Living In The Future! Out right now on iTunes, Amazon, etc. And of course, The Don Shop. Single bundle includes the instrumental and a flipping awesome and swagged out Joey2tits remix. HOOOO GRAAAAAAAGH! Video coming later today. That’s right brothers and sisters, because I am a total G and I like to try new stuff, I have released a single without ANY ADVANCE WARNING WHATSOEVER. I have to say, it is exciting and it feels GOOD. Naturally, I will be needing your help in getting the word out. Well, the words and the music out. Are you down? I hope you are. But regardless, the music is out there now, it is yours, and I hope you enjoy it.
