Known for their old school flavorful harmony and uplifting lyrical content. Akil The MC has also been involved with collaborations with other artist such as " Ice T #5” ,The Pharcyde " , Japans " DJ Yutaka " , The " DJ Format " compilation , Meshell Ndegeocello, Baby Mama soundtrack " Life " featuring Lina, and most recentyl Akil has a cameo in the film " Alpha Dog "
Jurassic 5 enjoyed a succesful run in Hip Hop before deciding to call it quits. As we know Hip Hop DON'T STOP! it only get's better, and that's what Akil The MC is bringing! When you listen to his rhymes you'll feel the soul of Jurassic 5 with the shell of the South Central Scene that spawned this versatile MC. Now he brings that legendary status to 4Dub teaming with Hydro Phonicsto form one of the hottest Hip Hop combinations to ever share the stage!

His physical prowess sometime dominates the stage as his raw energy combined with his rapid fire rhymes and energy can at times be intimidating but always commands your undivided attention. Hydro’s resurrection of true lyricism combined with pinpoint delivery has turned 4Dub into a true force to be reckoned with on the Hip Hop scene. Hydro was raised in the heart of the dirty south (North Carolina) and after winning the “Prom Promise” a nationwide songwriting competition as a young teenager Hydro moved out to Los Angeles in pursuit of becoming a Hip Hop superstar.

Still keeping true to his Hip Hop roots, Hydro kept writing and stayed actively involved in the Hip Hop circuit, doing freestyle battles and performing on TV shows with Hip Hop notables such as Missy Elliot, Eve, Karupt and many more. Hydro has now linked up with fellow Los Angeles rapper “Akil The MC” formerly of top selling Hip Hop group “Jurassic 5” and the two are currently touring Asia as they prepare to star in the upcoming Hollywood film “DARE TO DREAM”.
