Complete with an outstanding video to behold, Rapper 4GB has offered the best gift to lovers with Valentine’s day just a few days away.
The single, Akello is beautifully decorated with Luo chants giving it an African theme. The heart throbbing beats gives the song an upbeat atmosphere to behold.
The rapper says the love song , a blend of modern African dance and rap, is inspired by love for a girl who is held back by a tough father. As if to portray the father’s firm stance, the loud drum beats will have you yearning to break free to freedom of absolute self expression on the dance floor.
Great song , Good video!

Biography:
1987-2014: Early life and career beginnings:
4GB was born Crispus Otim III on July 7, 1987, in The Project Quarters of Nakawa, Kampala City. Crispus and his family soon relocated to KTL, Kitintale New Village, where he grew up.
In 2010 Crispus ‘’4GB’’ formed the Rap Group now internationally known by the moniker — THE SLIT-THROAT Music Group. With His Hustler Ambition and endless hard work, the group eventually gave birth to a franchise under the name ‘’SLIT-THROAT’’ which includes a Hip Hop CLOTHING Line, MUSIC and a RECORDING Studio best known as The DOPPLER STUDIOS.
From 2010 to Date, with this at his feet, 4GB released an exclusive Audio Footage under the label. All through this hustle 4GB was more open to features but now is focusing more on himself as a mainstream solo Rap Artiste.
2010-present: Solo career, SLIT-THROAT Music and The FR33DOM:
4GB Acronym for 4times a Greater Being has earned this. When you litter two decades of hip-hop with landmark verses, when your talent/POETRY is so known and you can hold it down in any area code, when you’ve been in the game and still sound as fresh to death as he does, when you’ve rocked the stage and still held your own, then…and only then…can you name your album ‘‘THE FR33DOM’‘.
With wisdom in his lyrics and feeling in his voice, 4GB has spent the last years entrenching himself in the upper echelons of the rap game—his rhymes have never sounded so potent; his voice never so evocative.
“People are always trying to redefine themselves, re-invent themselves,” says 4GB. “But I’m not selling you a lifestyle; I’m not selling you rims; I’m giving you my art and I’m trying to entertain you. And there’s value in that.”
THE FR33DOM with it’s eclectic collection of guests, producers and sounds transcends sub-genres and geography. Leave the pigeon-holes for the birds, this is simply a filler-free rap album from one of the finest pound-for-pound MCs in the game.
“Sure, things are different out there; music sounds differently, it gets made differently and it gets listened to and talked about differently. But it’s still music. And you still have to come with heat.” <<<<I am me, Iam THEofficial4GB.
