After writing a collection of lyrics based on his political, social, personal beliefs and experiences, Anglo-Turkish rapper Aslan AK teamed up with producer / composer Mike F to form the rap collective Class Actions. Class Actions mission is simple: produce accessible music with a message. Class Actions are based around a combination of Aslan’s aggressive rapping style, attention grabbing live act and Mike F’s catchy backing tracks. The tracks creatively fuse a unique mix of techno, electro, hip-hop, drum n bass, rock and punk amongst others. Class Actions have released an album ‘Keep Your Pride’, a mixtape Con-Dem Killers Vol 1 and several downloadable singles including ‘Risking Everything’ (tribute to Celebrity Big Brother Contestant Tommy Sheridan) and ‘Militant’ (which featured contributions from former Liverpool City Councillor Tony Mulhearn). The past year has seen Class Actions play live nationwide including; supporting Radio 1 DJ MistaJam, Italian legends Los Fasidios and also appearing in a variety of publications including the Guardian. A new mixtape and album are due in 2012. |
