Follow us on S ocials: Facebook and Instagram When 18‑year‑old Ghanaian student Nana Agyei left home to pursue his education in Europe, he carried the dreams of a young man determined to build a future far brighter than his beginnings. Today, those dreams have been violently interrupted, and the circumstances surrounding his death remain clouded by contradictions, silence, and a disturbing lack of transparency. No parent sends their child to school expecting to receive them back like this. Latvian authorities reported that Nana fell from a fifth‑floor window, suggesting an accident or possible suicide. But the more details emerge, the more this explanation collapses. Nana had reportedly been bullied for months. Just three days before his death, he was allegedly poisoned — a claim supported by a doctor’s report his family released publicly. He was hospitalised, destabilised, and discharged the same day. Within 24 hours, he was dead. Tiktok News Reporter Dylan Pag...
Akala: The Scholar MC Who Rewrote Britain’s Narrative
Kingslee James McLean Daley. chose the stage name“Akala”from a Buddhist term meaning “immovable,” which reflects his grounded, principled approach to truth-telling and activism. Quite fitting for someone who refuses to be swayed by political spin or cultural erasure. In a cultural landscape often defined by stereotypes and silence, Akala has emerged as one of Britain’s most electrifying voices—fusing hip-hop, history, and activism into a force that refuses to be ignored.
Akala’s rise from underground rapper to bestselling author and public intellectual is no accident. His early exposure to Pan-African thought and Shakespearean literature shaped a mind that could dissect colonial legacies with the same precision he used to craft bars. Winning a MOBO Award in 2006 was just the beginning; Akala wasn’t chasing fame—he was building a movement.
Akala perfectly explains the structural racism that still exists today in Britain.
What sets Akala apart is his refusal to dilute truth for comfort. His book Natives: Race and Class in the Ruins of Empire is a searing exploration of Britain’s racial and social hierarchies, blending personal memoir with historical analysis. It’s not just a read—it’s a reckoning. Akala challenges the myth of British benevolence, exposing how empire, education, and media have shaped perceptions of Blackness. He doesn’t just speak for Black Britons—he speaks with them, amplifying lived experiences that are too often dismissed or distorted.

Beyond the page, Akala’s impact is felt in classrooms, on stages, and across social media. Through The Hip-hop Shakespeare Company, he reimagines education, proving that lyrical genius isn’t confined to dusty textbooks. His lectures and interviews—whether on Channel 4 or Oxford Union—are masterclasses in clarity and conviction.
He dismantles racist dog whistles with calm precision, making complex ideas accessible without ever compromising their depth. For young Black Britons navigating identity and injustice, Akala is more than a role model—he’s a blueprint.
In a country still grappling with its colonial hangover, Akala stands as a reminder that knowledge is power, and truth is revolutionary. He’s not just a rapper or a writer—he’s a cultural architect, reshaping how Britain sees itself and its Black citizens. His voice cuts through the noise, not with rage, but with reason. And in doing so, he’s given a generation the language to name their pain, reclaim their history, and imagine a future rooted in dignity and justice.
Britain is still not ready for a man like Akala. Britian will always be racist britian, you get used to it as a black man in this country over 30 years.
