The track is taken off the Professor P & DJ Akilles EP “Brews & Good News”, that dropped September 16th on vinyl and digitally. The EP also features AG (of D.I.T.C.) on the track “Killing Time” (video available!) and a few Scandinavian talents.

Professor P and DJ Akilles are a critically acclaimed hip-hop duo from Uppsala, Sweden. Since 2006 they have been a significant part of the Scandinavian music scene and they have received worldwide attention with their vinyl EP “Maintain” (2010) and their full-length album “The Realism” (2012). With well-rehearsed live shows filled with unexpected features and crowd pleasing surprises, Pro & Ak have become famous for controlling the stage. They have supported legendary hip-hop acts like De La Soul, D.I.T.C., and Talib Kweli and are frequently booked around Scandinavia.

“Brews and Good News” is a 6 track EP recorded in Uppsala, Sweden and in New York, USA. All songs are produced and arranged by Professor P & DJ Akilles and feature artists such as legendary D.I.T.C. member A.G. (of Showbiz & A.G.), Los Angeles’ own Blu (of Blu &Exile) along with Scandinavian talents Gracias (Finland) and Felix De Luca (Denmark).
Musically the key components are dope beats, fresh rhymes and ill cuts. Add just the right amount of simplicity, a lot of soul, and some carefully picked drumbreaks and you have the Pro & Ak formula to make your head nod.
