AKA has just released his new single Dreamwork featuring Yanga. Dreamwork is the first official single release by AKA since the release of Baddest (and Baddest Remix) in 2015 which was the most played song on radio in South Africa, won two Metro FM Music Awards, and is still receiving award nominations today.
AKA has proven himself yet again as the most consistent music artist in South Africa. He has been nominated for Best Remix for the Baddest Remix and Best Collaboration for All Eyes on Me at the SAMA nominee event on Thursday, 21 April.
In the song, AKA talks about how ‘teamwork’ makes the ‘dream’ work. Dreamwork is produced by KJ Conteh of California, who has produced music for the likes of 50 cent, Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg, Wiz Khalifa, T.I. and Drake just to name a few.
All eyes have been on AKA this year, especially over the past two weeks. He recently announced the AKA Scholarship, powered by SAE and Bridges for Music. The four AKA scholarships are for the July 2016 intake and covers the full year tuition for SAE’s full-time Higher Certificate in Sound Production at the state-of-the-art campus, in the heart of Cape Town at the renowned Woodstock Exchange. The scholarship is targeted at young South Africans who, like AKA, are committed and determined to achieve success in creative industries.
This week saw AKA become the first person in Africa to receive the exclusive Twitter Camera App and the first musician in South Africa to reach one million followers on Twitter.
2016 has already been a groundbreaking year for AKA, and it is this success which AKA will celebrate with his fans at his upcoming Supamega show on Sunday, 1 May at Authentic Sunday, Soweto. AKA’s performance will feature a live band, a state-of-the-art technical production and electrifying fanfare. The Supamega show line-up includes SA’s hip-hop heavyweights such as Da Les, Yanga, MaE, Kwesta, Maggz and rising hip-hop sensation, Big Star.
