“I’ve been rappin’ since I was 12, I’m 22, I’ve been making music for a decade.”

For the past 3 years, Toronto artist Akintoye has been steadily rising in popularity, ability, and confidence. It all started at the beginning of the 2020 pandemic with a Tik Tok “Freestyle Challenge” that went viral. After Akintoye posted his submission to the challenge, the rest was history. Since then, his popularity has only increased.  He’s released 2 full length projects, a handful of singles, and even recently performed live at ScotiaBank Arena for the Raptors playoff run.

Even though he’s reached a new level of accomplishment, Akintoye has no intentions of stopping. During this episode we discuss everything from Will Smith to Nigerian lifestyle, and anything in between.
