With the release of her 2011 debut album, "...the journey aflame", akua naru entered the scene, a titanic force of Liberation politics on beats, a true wordsmith whose music, deeply nuanced, poetic and wise, centers the experiences of Black women through rhyme, along a sonic spectrum from Jazz to Soul. Called the “Toni Morrison of Hip Hop” by acclaimed scholar Dr. Cornel West, akua naru’s journey, like her debut album, has been set aflame. To date, she has released four albums: “...the journey aflame (2011)”, “live & aflame sessions (2012)”, “the miner’s canary(2015)”, and “the blackest joy (2018).”
