DJ Akademiks has caused a storm online after giving a shout-out to Nosaan and Sada Baby for a Detroit collab. Just the picture sparks the creative emotion-the wild guy with spikes in his hair, just grooving in some arty basement hangout. White tee, baggy denim, celestial tapestry, and waft of sweet creative juice all around. Or maybe that’s how the Detroit hip-hop vibe smells.

The-causes-everyone-to-go-wild caption: “Nasaan n Sada Baby with the Detroit link up.” No extra fluff, but the comments section exploded anyway. Someone spilled to the world that Nasaan is the son of Proof-yeah, THAT Proof, D12 legend and a pillar of Detroit hip-hop. That info definitely anthem differently if you know rap history down to the details.
Another user said, “This kinda track really should be in 2K.” You know, that bassline that makes you stop playing and just vibe. Someone else came out of the woodwork to say probably this is the first time Akademiks has dropped a good one on him, which sounds a little harsh but maybe better late than never.
Others didn’t want to hear the deep stuff. One couldn’t stand the energy Sada Baby was giving in the last slide, calling him out for “glitching” like his WiFi would drop mid-verse. Another was sat confused and saying, “Hold up… did he really just say he’d… Nah, I musta heard wrong.” You can’t help but love that classic rap chaos.
Then the assertion of rappers getting “weird,” which was promptly refuted and thrown back with a history lesson about ODB, Busta Rhymes, and the entire Wu-Tang wave. Like, bruh, if you think this is weird, you probably missed the golden era of unhinged lyricism.
But the real takeaway? People want this sound. A user said it best: “Finally, real hip-hop relief.” When you’ve felt that rap was trying the Tik Tok trends faster than you could say “split time,” that raw Detroit collab feels like a fresh breeze. Or headache-inducing, depending on whom you are asking.
Oh, and let’s not ignore the thirst-quote-there’s always gotta be one of those—for this, the reaction was “turns me on so much.” No other questions.

In conclusion, Akademiks just might have really spotlighted a moment. Definitely down to chat Nasaan carrying Proof’s legacy, Sada Baby doing wild Sada Baby things, and the fact that Detroit sound still hits like a freight train. For any post that manages to spur some talk amidst this overabundant feed, that’s big. Somebody-forward-the-link-fifty-immediately-will-run-out-of-time!
