UK Rap titan in the making, AK CEEZ, has launched ‘Ricochet’ with the kind of dark, gritty instrumentals and scathing bars that leave no safe corners for complacency. Each line lands with dominance and razor-edged conviction, slamming into the psyche and refusing to fade, while the beatwork and scratchy turntable effects draw you further into a world built on raw truth and unvarnished experience. Meanwhile, there’s an arresting ease in the production, making no effort to soften the punch; the polish here is purely for impact, not for comfort.
AK CEEZ is rapidly rewriting the script for Scottish hip-hop, turning pain into poetry and struggle into something sonically formidable. Since stepping into the booth for the first time in 2024, he’s set the scene ablaze with his ability to channel trauma, identity, fatherhood, and the full weight of lived experience into rhythmically hypnotic, lyrically charged releases. With a reputation already cemented by Wordplay Magazine’s recognition for his “top-tier lyricism, eminent flow and unique sound,” he’s set on dominating every playlist in his path.
‘Ricochet’ is a track forged for the real UK rap faithful—nothing diluted, nothing left unsaid. Every lyric is delivered with the self-assurance of someone who knows precisely where he belongs: right at the apex of the rap hierarchy. The resilience radiates through the relentless cadence, proving AK CEEZ isn’t just up and coming, he’s already fully actualised and taking no prisoners. With each scalding verse, he marks his territory as an artist with purpose, designed to motivate, move, and last.
‘Ricochet’ is now available to stream on all major platforms, including SoundCloud.
