Forged in the fires of professional athleticism, former Canberra Raider (notorious head hunter and judiciary favorite) and West Belconnen number 1 son, Axe Aklins, burst onto the Australian music scene in 2003, rapidly linking up with renowned Australian hip hop pioneers Koolism and the KOA massive. Ever-present Koolism hype-man Aklins featured on the track ‘Control’ from Koolism’s 2004 ARIA award winning release ‘Random Thoughts’ (Invada Records), followed by the cantankerous duet ‘Raw Steak’ from Koolism’s 2006 critically acclaimed follow-up ‘New Old Ground’ (Invada Records). Axe also featured on the 2006 Australian hip hop compilation ‘Airheads 2’ (Parallax View) with the solo effort ‘Desperate Man’, followed by a guest appearance on ACT compatriots D’opus and Roshambo’s EP ‘The Question’. A seasoned performer with over 50 live performances under his belt- ranging from tightly packed clubs to large outdoor festivals such as the nationally telecast 2005 Australia Day
