This keys-heavy track is complemented by unique harmonies from Akajou as he takes us on a reflective journey that ruminates on his professional and personal growth. ‘Role Model’ allows the Los Angeles-based rapper to show his listeners his vulnerable side as he speaks on the mistakes he’s made while navigating life largely on his own due to a lack of role models. He uses the track to make a commitment to becoming a positive role model for young people growing up. This warm track is part of Akajou’s most recent project Akajou Is Real which was released earlier this month. It is filled with other excellent tracks produced by the talented Sincere Noble, including ‘Dead End’ which TMR has previously covered. Give ‘Role Model’ a listen now then check out the rest of the project. – Shanice L
