After writing a collection of lyrics based on his political, social, personal beliefs and experiences, Anglo-Turkish rapper Aslan AK teamed up with producer and composer Mike F to form Class Actions. Class Actions mission is simple: produce accessible music which simultaneously incorporates a message against international injustice.
Class Actions are based around a combination of Aslan’s aggressive, fast paced rapping style (dubbed as 'Shout Rap'), attention grabbing live act and Mike F’s catchy backing tracks. The tracks creatively fuse house, electro, hip-hop, techno, drum n bass and even some reggae mixed with rock. The duo’s originality eventually led them to raise money to form a record label simply titled Class Actions.
2010 sees the release of the first ever Class Actions album ‘Keep Your Pride’. The album is a perfect mixture of up-tempo hook-orientated tracks like ‘Do You Feel Safe’ and ‘The Underdogs’, the sing-along satire of songs such as ‘Do As I Say’ and ‘M is 4 Maggie’ and the hard hitting social reality of the title track amongst others.
A follow up album will be released the following year and Class Actions are currently playing live nationally.
