Akua Bishop is Atlanta's Answer to Bringing Back Real Music with his new Single 1Hundred

    ATLANTA, GA, December 25, 2015 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Watch out Atlanta music lovers, it seems we can finally have a sigh of relief as we keep grieving about the new generation of artists and the music coming out of Atlanta. Looks like we definitely have the answer to our prayers coming from a fresh face with a fresh familiar ATL sound we have become accustomed to love. Born in Manila to an African-America military father and a Filipino mother, Akua Bishop aka "B.I." was brought to the U.S. as a baby and raised in a single-parent home in the east side of Decatur, Georgia.

"My dad was a DJ," B.I. remembers. "It was just the two of us, so he had to take me to every gig and every party. It was my little self, sitting behind the DJ booth listening to George Clinton, Bootsy Collins and Parliament-Funkadelic. I absorbed it all."

In elementary school, B.I. was drawn to the drums. At Southwest DeKalb High School - famous for its drum line - he excelled in concert bands. Joining up with two friends, he was part of 2Raww - an energetic young hip-hop trio. "I heard what they had going on and I thought, ' I could do this.' I had a way with words."

Sketchy business associations derailed the group's aspirations and the allure of street life threatened to put B.I. away. "I got snagged up when I went down that road. It was the most devastating time of my life. My freedom was taken away. I was looking at a lot of time," he recalls. Miraculously, it all worked out. "I came back a changed man. The lessons I learned would not allow to me go down that path; I was given a brand new start."

Now, with a tight professional team, supportive producers and a solid business structure, B.I. is imagining the most powerful music of his life. "I listen to the track a million times and the message comes out naturally. It's like a blind man with a paintbrush. He can't see what he is painting but his mind tells his hand what color to dip in."

The shades of B.I.'s songs are vivid, bright and vital. In his own words, his lyrics "...dance on the tracks." And he prefers not to draw on negativity or to depend stereotypical urban themes in his lyrics. "Trying to deal with the day in or day out, making ends meet is depressing enough. Music frees me from that - I just come up with some feel good shit. It makes me feel good to express myself. That's all music is anyway."

As a persuasive cadence and an uplifted spirit illuminate an upward career path, B.I. is confidant, enthusiastic and original. "I don't put myself in the same category as other artists," He confirms. "This ain't no Bisquik, it's like your momma's biscuits - we make it all from scratch."

It's with pleasure we present B.I.'s new single taking over the streets and soon to hit the air-waves like a tornado the new single "1Hundred" is finally ready for release on sound cloud.
