AKA dropped his long awaited third solo album ‘Touch My Blood’ early in June 2018.
The Supa Mega right away started by touching on where he comes from, Cape Town, South Africa and that he has well represented his place of birth.
The artist then reminisces on how he risked it all to be with a ‘Beyonce‘ who was in his life, his relationship with his baby mama only for the relationship to end in turmoil.
When I left my baby mama I thought you were my soulmate.
Reset | (flash backs)
“Tell me would you still be there if I didn’t pull up in a white BMW.”
“If I lose it all tomorrow would you still be there?”
AKA then takes it back to the beginning and asked the question would the love be the same if he didn’t have all the nice things that he does now? Would you love him as much or is it all just for the money and publicity?
Amen | (resolution)
For those who don’t know L-Tido & AKA got into a beef situation a few years ago and later resolved it, put the personal feelings aside and took it back to the music. They might have just dropped one of the songs of the year.
“Supa Mega long time no album, how you handle that beef? Well done.” – AKA
“We were the leaders of the new skool, charged up .. no batteries.” – L Tido
This song was just an overlook of 10+ years in the game and how Mega did things a lot of people were and are still afraid to do.

“Fat ass tryna act bad on the socials but when it’s time for the home shit, they gonna backtrack like they wholesome but that’s over. Tryna keep up with jones but we’re too caught up in emotions.”
New sounds are what our commercial industry is lacking at the moment.
Originality, when someone is genuinely trying to introduce something new instead of jacking a sound.
This album has a very POP feel and AKA being the stubborn person he is and doing as he pleases whenever he wants has introduced a new unique sound not just for one type of fan but for all the new folks who want to support him.
*THIS IS DEFINITELY NOT HIS LAST ALBUM*
