El Padre gets ‘high’ with new mixtape

The project titled ‘GOING AKKA’ is a follow-up to his maiden project, the ‘Thugs Need Love’ EP released last year. ‘GOING AKKA’ as El Padre describes it, is a slang phrase used mostly in Botswana and South Africa when one achieves a certain high from taking a substance or drug in most cases, cocaine.

“So I took that phrase and used it to describe how I achieve the same highness from making music and also to describe the feeling of going to the top and achieving one’s full potential. So in a nutshell, I would just say this is the feeling of achieving your dreams. The feeling of going to the top and the feeling of being obsessed with your work,” he said.
