Runnin

Tahija Akeem hails from a small town in South Carolina, but has just relocated to L.A. in pursuit of his dreams. The 25-year-old rapper details his departure from his hometown on his latest track, "Runnin'," recalling the events that led up to making the big decision to take his career to the next level -- his story-telling and melodic hook reminiscent of the work of J. Cole. We'll be watching his next move.

"Runnin'" has placed Tahija Akeem  among this week's final four Heatseekers. If you like to have your song or video featured on the site, you can submit content to us here.

Quotable Lyrics:
I got bigger dreams
Bigger than the town that I'm from
That's why I had to take a flight
That's why I stay on the run
Man, runnin' steady pace on the chase
But every time I look around
I'm standing in the same place
