Akala rarely puts a foot wrong. He is so much more than just a rapper, he is a truth speaking intellectual who speaks up for Black people over and over again. Against the establishment and is never scared of putting his face to the cause.

If you have not heard, a large high rise tower block burned to the ground in London. This was a block largely made up of social housing geared towards the working class poor of the UK.

At present Grenfell Tower’s death toll is over 30. That’s many more than the three times a number of people that died in London’s terror attack from the previous week.

Now why is that significant?

The sprinkler system was never turned on and the 8million pounds was recently spent on aesthetic change rather than safety inside the building.
