At last Atama is here!

Hello kiddies the Lepak king is back crunching on the keyboard of his trusty Lenovo s10, this time around I have the pleasure meeting  Atama. You may ask who is Atama ? Well let me tell you all about him. He is the foremost influential hip hop artiste in Sabah and rest of the east coast of Malaysia.  An artiste  who  sold more  30,000 copies then his music in one state  before hitting legal troubles that stunted his invasion to our shores. Is a artiste to be reckoned  with! So what is so special about Atama ? What I can tell you that his music is a blend of  hip hop and traditional music of Sabah. That what make his music unique to me. He has two album out he currently promoting his second album. I had also pleasure of helping him on a small introduction tour in spreading the music of Atama to the world.
