Akintoye: With Pizzazz
“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 an online “Freestyle Challenge” that went viral. After Akintoye posted his submission to the challenge, the rest was history. Since then, 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 the Nigerian lifestyle, and anything in between.
