   About AQUIL
AQUIL Speaking to our times hopes and possibilities with evolutionary artistry and Mcing, one way to describe his music is exceptional. A profoundly lyrical poetic and in depth yet conversational artist you get to know Aquil through his rhymes. Aquil shows his dedication and appreciation to Hip Hop music and music in general with authenticity honesty and lyrically fluid delivery. Born and raised in Philadelphia, Pa. Aquil is a lifelong admirer of music and has honed his skills unafraid to mix genres such as the Blues, Jazz, Afro Beat, and Funk into a Hip Hop interpretation. His live shows are remarkable leaving the crowd captivated, inspired and shouting for more. Recording his up and coming album tentatively titled “Grand Awakening”, Aquil is in the process of gaining digital distribution through iTunes releasing his work independently. Up and coming producers X-Factor, Y?Arcka and Writtenhouse are collaborative forces on this project which will give people a vibe they are reminiscent of and sound unheard before. Scheduled for release August 4, 2009 internet radio stations, blogs, and websites have expressed their excitement in promoting this album. He is scheduled to go on an East Coast tour along with a Black Student Union College Tour in the summer and fall of 2009. Releasing one mix tape which gave the feeling of an Album titled BLUES PEOPLE (SEPT 29TH 2008) Aquil set the mark very high exuding purpose style while maintaining substance. As a graduate of Temple University Aquil choose music because he wants to help return the feeling of inspiration hope and creativity. Many have alluded to similarities in his style with Rakim Nas Tupac The Roots, KRS-ONE, Common Mos Def and Talib Kweli. With lines that are unapologetic such as “I entered into a drought of musical doubts but open my mouth and eloquent notes just flow out” and “This platform for the stories that’s untold I’m like DuBios with a flow kick the souls of black folk” Aquil gets his points across with passion and technical grace. He gives you his thoughts and feelings along with historical analysis and social political commentary. Aquil has performed at the following venues and Universities, Philadelphia Trocadero, Clef Club, Fluid Night Club, Club Solo, VIP Club, Temple University, The Rotunda, Dowlings Palace, Patterson Palace, and several other cities such as New York City, Syracuse NY, Camden NJ, Baltimore MD, Washington D.C. and Miami FL.
