Akeem Jahat is back at it again! Ignoring the trends of the times and setting the rhythm to his own flow, Akeem displays his versatility with a new single \u201cMaster P\u201d, which dropped this September.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Known for his poetic lyrics and smooth delivery, there are no boundaries to his artistry. After announcing his signing to independent label Cross Ratio Entertainment, the rap mogul released an addictive, pop anthem \u2018Tandoori\u2019, bridging the boundaries between rap and pop.<\/p>\n

Determined to pave his own path through unconventional means, Akeem is defining what it means to be a hip-hop artist. The new single contains several cheeky references, the most obvious being that to hip-hop legend Master P.<\/p>\n

\u2018He\u2019s the guy in hip-hop who found his own way and changed the game. You could call him the ultimate hustler,\u2019 Akeem said, describing Master P as someone he looks up to, in both music and his vision as an artist. \u2018He\u2019s the unorthodox guy who created his own empire. I realised as I was writing this song that I was subconsciously writing towards that energy.\u2019 The cover artwork also pays tribute to an iconic picture of Master P, donning a white bucket hat, in a blue hoodie adorned with silver chains.<\/p>\n

Besides that, the \u2018P\u2019 in the title also refers to Akeem himself, as a \u2018perfectionist\u2019 in his craft of making music. Akeem crafts his own path to perfection with a new \u2018masterpiece\u2019 that draws inspiration from classic soundscapes.<\/p>\n

With a distinct, recognizable hook in the song chorus, \u2018Master P\u2019 represents a unique cross-over between classical and hip-hop. Akeem manages to seamlessly blend the two seemingly opposing genres, setting a precedent for those after him and staying true to himself. Similarly, to his previous single, \u2018Jangan Buang Baju Gua\u2019, which also has elements of classical music weaved into the song, Akeem demonstrates that hip-hop is fluid, and does not need to conform to any style other than his own.<\/p>\n

Over last weekend, Akeem performed in Malaysia at Hausboom Music Festival 2023 as Singapore\u2019s standout representative. The festival showcased the region\u2019s biggest acts from Singapore, Malaysia and Indonesia, other performers included Joe Flizzow, Hujan and FORCEPARKBOIS.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

It also marked his first time performing the new single \u2018Master P\u2019 for a live audience, which was met with overwhelmingly positive response from the cheering fans. Akeem also performed crowd favourites like Ribena, $ua and WOODLANDS, featuring special guest Hullera during his set. He has also made a surprise appearance in Hip Hop producer SonaOne\u2019s set, bringing the audience’s emotions to the highest peak.<\/p>\n

\u2018Master P\u2019 is now available on all digital platforms today.<\/p>\n
