Akbar Akbar The Great Columbus Meet AKBAR, the emerging Rapper and Songwriter star hailing from Columbus, Ohio. With a conscious rap style and a lyrical maturity beyond his years, AKBAR’s sound is underpinned by positive messages of self-love and self-worth. This year, AKBAR’s set to blow, starting with his new single ‘YRBG’ (an acronym for ‘Young Righteous Black Girl’) — as well as his upcoming single‘Letters to Berlin’, and his exciting new debut hip-hop EP, ’Born King’. Originally an all-city and district high school football star, AKBAR turned down a potential football career to pursue engineering. When he left college due to financial hardships, he soon picked up a pen and started making music at home. He was quickly signed to indie label Super Nova by R&B legend Karyn White, who was blown away by a series of demos he’d produced using only his laptop and cellphone. AKBAR first began rapping as a little boy — his sisters would tease him because he had a speech impediment. Looking back, the emerging hip-hop star realizes that all the obstacles and experiences he faced were leading him on a deeper path to greatness: “I always knew I had the ability to do something great buried within, I just didn’t know how to mine it out. You just have to know you can. Knowing it - that’s the key.” Look out for AKBAR’s new single, ‘YRBG’, releasing soon. Follow the artist for updates and new music.
