What’s the hype about Hip Hop?

On the 28^th of January 1988 South Africa’s prince of Hip Hop, Kiernan Jordan Forbes was born also known as AKA.  From the age of 14 AKA had discovered a cool street style music which had then led him to the big dream of becoming a Hip Hop star. In 2005 AKA was part of the group called "Entity" who released the album “The Royal School Of Hip Hop”. Being part of this crew allowed AKA to broaden his dream, and show off his talent to the rest of South Africa. Although the group departed a year later, that was not the end for AKA.

How did social media scoop the young artist??

Social media worked as a foundation for AKA to express himself and allow the rest of the world to take a glance into his life. AKA used Instagram to show the world what he was all about, through his pictures posts. On his account one can see how he showcases himself as a brand and what his label is bringing to us. Another way that AKA used social media is by expressing himself over twitter. On twitter we see that he is a very stern and opinionated person. Which often leaves the artist making headlines and more famous.
