There’s a certain weight to Hands In My Pockets, Pt. 2—the kind that lingers long after the beat fades. Akassia and TrueMendous build on the foundations of classic hip-hop, threading in jazz elements and alternative textures to craft a track that feels both timeless and fresh. The production keeps things tight and head-nodding, while TrueMendous delivers razor-sharp lyricism, flowing with a natural ease that makes every word hit. It’s a track that doesn’t just ask for attention—it demands it.

Akassia, the London-based duo, continues to carve out their space in the underground scene, blending lo-fi warmth with the rhythmic grit of boom-bap and trip-hop influences. Pairing up with TrueMendous—a force known for her intricate wordplay and unmistakable delivery—proves to be a seamless collaboration. Together, they create something that feels like a nod to hip-hop’s past while pushing toward its future.
