A'KIA is a 21 yr old self-proclaimed Rapper/Songwriter from Baltimore Maryland, who expresses versatility as well as wordplay in her music. She shows a range of versatility through her flow, how she forms and constructs her songs & hooks as well as her stage presence. A’KIA’s style of writing is inspired by Lil Wayne and Jay-Z's crafts of freestyling in the head. No pad no paper just flowing with music. Shocking the audience every time is one of A'KIA's craftiness. Staff of the 2009 New Jersey Music Conference, which featured G-Unit, Def-Jam, Universal, and Sony have all agreed; " A'KIA not only shocks us, but she shocks the world with her grimy at times witty rhymes. She separates herself from other female Rappers in the game."
Coming up with her own style and originality took time for A'KIA. She gives significant credit to Producer Rube-Rice of 2nyce Entertainment for aiding in artist development and helping her to perfect her craft. 2 Nyce Ent.
