Akira the Don is part of the ever-bubbling UK underground scene. Rapper,
producer and remixer, he is particularly eclectic. His references range from
Chris de Burgh to Wu Tang Clan, while his music is more inspired by a rap
version of Marilyn Manson. Akira the Don is a whimsical character with a
reasonably excessive ego, and a self-proclaimed workaholic. His 2006 debut album
When We Were Young turns out to be far less varied than Akira the Don's
discourse would suggest.
