Akala recently sat down with VladTV where he spoke about going on tour with Nas and Damian Marley in 2010 after they released their collaborative album, Distant Relatives. Akala revealed that he got the gig through his agent, who was also working with Damian Marley, but the UK rapper pointed out that he already had a name for himself when he went on the tour.

During the conversation, Akala explained a past statement about Damian Marley out rapping Nas, and he said that it was meant as a compliment to Marley, who is traditionally known as a singer. Akala also shared fond memories from the tour, including why it felt like he was at a show in Jamaica when they made a tour stop in Birmingham, which has a large population of Jamaican people.

Hit play to hear more of what Akala had to say in the above interview, including his thoughts on the “Brexit” becoming a fight about race.
