Rising UK MC Akes has unveiled his powerful new single “My Disability”, a bold and heartfelt anthem dedicated to empowering individuals facing similar challenges. Drawing from his own lived experience, the Wolverhampton artist delivers a message of resilience, self-worth, and unshakable confidence, aiming to break down societal stigmas surrounding disabilities.
With his signature lyrical depth and genre-blending versatility—spanning grime, hip-hop, and dancehall—Akes has already earned recognition from BBC Radio 1Xtra, Complex UK, TRENCH, and hometown outlet Express & Star. His latest release, “My Disability”, serves as both a personal testimony and a rallying cry, with its defiant chorus: “My disability won’t stop this ability. This is my story.”
“We all have something special to offer our society. My disability can’t stop this ability.” The track arrives as Akes continues to solidify his reputation as one of the UK’s most compelling storytellers. Having collaborated with heavyweights like Preditah, Flirta D, Nasty Jack (N.A.S.T.Y Crew), and Alan B (Roadside G’z), the 93-born artist is no stranger to commanding attention—both on record and on stage, where he’s shared sets with Jme and Jaykae.
Boasting a 100K-strong Instagram following, Akes has cultivated a loyal fanbase drawn to his raw honesty and dynamic artistry. “My Disability” is his latest effort to inspire others to embrace their authenticity, proving that obstacles can be transformed into strength.
