This piece is the cinematic amalgamation of RAGE, knowing your WORTH and knowing when ENOUGH is ENOUGH. “I’m here to make a stand” Together with DVTCH NORRIS, Tsar B & KRANKk it is time for Akuma. This cinematic track goes a lot of places, with bustling percussion to distorted synths and heavy sub basses. Also heavily inspired by the great Ludwig Göransson’s work on the Black Panther movie and the ‘YEEZUS’ album.

Dirty is the fourth single from upcoming album dirtytwominus, out 18 February 2022, after previous singles Wabbajack and TRAUMA! and Crackuma.

Rare Akuma, a.k.a. Shyheim Newell, scores with millions of streams as the new kid on the block. Genius melodies and hooks. Sometimes with honest emotions and then again with those beats that characterize Akuma. He produced some tracks for Zwangere Guy, made instrumentals (at 19-year-old) for $uicideboy$ (and many others) and organized Hellraiser phase I, II and III in Antwerp with everything the Antwerp hiphop scene has to offer.

“In my eyes, the future of Belgian punk-hiphop. He produced on both my last records, and is super strong in that regard. (...) The sound he makes on his own records is of an unseen calibre and an unheard sound. Akuma, you're weird. It's in the name, isn't it? A legend already.” Zwangere Guy

“Rare Akuma is a musical genius and has established himself as one of the hottest rappers and producers of Belgium. His incomparable approach to trap, hip hop, and rage core has put him on the map and he’s ready to get even bigger” Enfnts Terribles

“He will end up where he wants to end up in any case. He is going to be really big.” Dvtch Norris

“The Antwerp producer-rapper made a name for himself on the hip-hop scene with his gritty, industrial horrorcore productions.” De Morgen

“Imagine the music of this young Antwerp-based producer as what would happen when you put Slipknot, Kanye West and Lunice in the same studio. (…) his beats – mostly including brutal basslines and screaming rappers - are not for the faint-hearted.” Red Bull Elektropedia
