Combster's ONE Music Fest Aritst Spotlight: Akeem Ali

The ONE Musicfest is bringing fresh talent to the stage this weekend! Introducing Akeem Ali, a rapper, singer, and songwriter from Jackson, Mississippi.

Ali is making waves in the rap scene with his fresh, unique, and alternative sound. Some of his tracks, like Keemy Casanova, are like a time machine to the 1970s, complete with retro-inspired beats.

It’s also his persona, Keemy Casanova—an homage to 1970s pimps and hustlers—that sets him apart. This character went viral, helping him cultivate a dedicated, niche fanbase that continues to grow.

Ali first burst onto the scene in 2019 with his 13-track album Rollin’, but it was his 2020 single Keemy Casanova that brought him widespread recognition. He further solidified this persona with tracks like Keemy Casanova: He’s BAD and his recent Velcro Freestyle. He’s even rubbed shoulders with hip-hop heavyweights like Big K.R.I.T., who appeared on his track Yo Body (Rollin’ Rollin’). Pretty impressive, right?

So, if you’re in Atlanta and want to experience the Keemy Casanova persona live, make sure to catch his show at the ONE Musicfest!
