Wil Akogu (Ft. Mike Wavvs) • "Fade to Black"
2016 has already seen plenty of Wil Akogu, but he's back again with his second of three releases that we'll get to hear ahead of a new project due out this fall. This currently unnamed new project will be Wil's second of the year following April's release of the Language of the Soul EP. Like the EP, his "Fade to Black" is honest and direct, but this time around Wil and producer/singer Mike Wavvs make a record about destiny and living up to your true value. Embracing their unique "processes", Wil Akogu and Mike Wavvs continue a healthy streak of successful collaborations with the lively "Fade to Black". The song's funky backdrop and inspiring lyrics are guaranteed to connect with plenty of listeners, and is radio ready. If you don't know Wil, take a chance on him and give "Fade to Black" a listen. You'll be hooked.
