I actually wanted to buy this track, and attempted to do so through amazon.com, but they informed me that I wasn’t allowed to because of “geographical restrictions.” And it wasn’t anywhere in the blogosphere.   So i tracked down Akala’s album as a torrent, and I’m releasing his track Shakespeare since I’ve been obsessed with it since I heard it on the Scratch Pervert’s 2007 Mixtape “Watch the Ride.“   Using a loop from the first measure, I’ve been dropping this track in my sets as a way to transition from 70bpm hip hop into some high energy ghettotech.  The instrumental (plus 1 drum layer, and 1 floatey synth layer) is lifted directly from the 2004 international dance floor anthem, Loneliness by Tomcraft. Enjoy
