Update On Boston MC-Athlete Favorite Akrobatik (Plus Benefit This Saturday @ The Middle East)

An artist always on the move, Akro’s health scare did not come from a lack of exercise. He tours extensively with an energetic stage show worthy of his moniker. An ad hoc correspondent for NESN (and formerly for JAM’N 94.5 FM), he’s frequently out and about at New England sporting events. Until last year, he even played fullback for the Randolph Oilers in the Eastern Football League.

Your New N.E. Patriots Anthem

After a successful run with last year’s Celtics anthem “Who Are We?” - well, successful for the song, at least - Cambridge heavyweights N.B.S. return with “Pats Music” just in time for the NFL playoffs. I don’t know a damn thing about football, but I can tell you that this shit hits extremely hard.

Say what you want about latching onto sports teams, but it’s clearly one of the best ways for Boston hip-hop artists to gain exposure outside of the regional and underground scenes. There’s also the general plus that some of these team cuts - not all, but some - have been seriously dope (remember “The Razor”?).

Pass this around, and keep an eye out for opposing anthems. It’s pretty ambitious to think these guys can take on all the New York rappers stacked behind the Jets, but you never know - they did embarrass Ice Cube and his awfully wack Lakers jam. Not to mention the fact that anyone who says they’ve always been a diehard Jets fan is completely full of shit.

Unless someone can trump this, I’d say we’ve found the most embarrassing moment in New England sports history…

I’ve never been comfortable with the deep intersection between sports and hip-hop. That said; I’ve never denied a dope anthem. Certainly “The Razor” by The Perceptionists is one of the finest jock jams ever executed; the Patriots were fools for never running with this. [Insert fumble metaphor here].
