AKA, the South African rapper and record producer, has been a significant figure in the country's music industry for over a decade. Since his debut album in 2011, AKA has grown to become one of the most successful rappers in Africa, with numerous hit songs, awards, and collaborations under his belt.

One of the most prominent beneficiaries of AKA's support is Nasty C and the late Costa Titch who was more like his protege'.
