South African rap sensation Shane Eagle has unveiled his latest musical project, ‘AKiRA’, a 14-track album that promises to take listeners on a profound auditory journey. The album, which has been eagerly anticipated by fans, was announced with a release date that has the rap community abuzz.
Eagle’s third studio album, ‘AKiRA’, is named after the renowned Japanese manga artist Akira Toriyama, best known for the global phenomenon ‘Dragon Ball’. This choice of title reflects Eagle’s childhood inspirations, drawing from the worlds of anime, comic books, basketball, and hip-hop. The album is a fusion of these influences, creating a unique soundscape that Eagle hopes will resonate deeply with his audience.
The album kicks off with a track that sets the tone for the introspective and soulful vibe that Eagle is known for. In a bold move, he has removed his image from the album cover, stating, “I took my face off the cover so you can listen to my soul,” a line from the opening track “MUTANT”. This artistic decision emphasizes the personal and reflective nature of the album.
Fans can expect a blend of lyrical prowess and melodic beats, as Eagle continues to push the boundaries of the South African hip-hop scene. With ‘AKiRA’, Shane Eagle not only pays homage to his roots but also showcases his growth as an artist, promising a listening experience that is both nostalgic and forward-thinking.
