Outlets like the Fader (which was actually relevant back then) and XXL did tho. Not to mention, Noisey which really helped with white people

Yep
Around 2017-18 all the hip hop media kinda moved towards Ak’s content but at first a lot of the niggas that are extra praised today were shunned by the media

Nah they were giving these acts some shine here and there but it was kinda different lol
There were some pieces here and there but Ak was going OD for these artists and towards the end of 2017 they kinda started doing like him and covered them almost exclusively lol

He's responsible for the success of:
Young thug
6ix9ine
XxxtentacionAnd more
Add Lil Uzi to the list, he had 50k views when he mentioned him, that's how I discovered him
- May 9, 2020·1 reply
Like I remember a time where Uzi news were basically non existent in hip hop media
He was star if u looked at Ak’s content tho

Yall give him wayyyy too much credit lol
Anyway discussion was about 6ix9ine which i actually will credit AK for
May 9, 2020Rolling Stone was posting about Thug in 2013. Was Ak posting about him before then?
