Raised among six siblings by his strong single parent mom, H.A.K. learned at an early age that nothing comes easy. He moved a lot as a kid, and has called California, New York, Virginia, Vermont, New Hampshire and Massachusetts home at different points in
his life. It was in Virginia that the music bug bit him and he started singing and rapping at local venues.
His passion for music did not dissipate as he moved around and eventually landed in the Northeast. Residing in Durham, NH—not exactly a hip-hop hotbed—was a detriment for H.A.K but it did not deter him from trying. He says he exhausted every possible recording option on UNH’s campus before he met his current producer Francisco Santos of Superior Media Group in nearby Somersworth. Their musical relationship blossomed from that point on, providing Karim with an outlet to grow as an artist.
In 2010 H.A.K took his passion to the next level with the founding of Beast Grind Records and now in 2011 the self proclaimed Mission Man’s dream has come to fruition in the form of his first solo album titled The Mission. Fully aware of the power of the
internet Beast Grind Records leaked four videos supporting the project including clips for the iced out anthem “Global Warming,” Checkmate,” the title track “The Mission” and the intensely personal “Follow the Signs.”
Unlike most rap records that the general public hears, The Mission is a well rounded album that serves as a compilation of H.A.K’s life. There are club records, motivational records and swag records but what truly sets the album apart are the moments when he lets his guard down and shares his life story through song. On the aforementioned “Follow the Signs” H.A.K raps about things he rarely discusses with his closest friends like growing up without a father and the loss of his beloved sister. “My younger sister passed away when I was very young and to this day I still talk about her. I feel that she is my guardian angel,” explains H.A.K. “The song is really about me making sure she’s never forgotten.” He also bares an angel tattoo in her memory.
It is very rare for an individual to take the path less traveled and realize their dream but that is exactly what H.A.K is doing and it is paying off. “I could have been pretty good at a number of things in life but if I’m more passionate about music than anything else why wouldn’t I do it 100%", he says? “At first people acted like I was crazy when I began this, but now its seems everybody is paying attention.”

Cuz' her son causing pain
I was feeling so alone
Taking drugs everyday
Hoping all this fate
And one day it be okay
Dream up on the stage
Hear y'all scream 11k
I just want a couple millie in my bank account
Feel like god build me up just to break me down
I reupped got caught up with the same amount
Fuck a pig never snitch take a charge to the chin
You ain't been through none you is not gonna win
Bro been beggin me to reup I'm the doctor for him
That is not medicine
I'm no better than him
Why I always fall back onto flippin a pack
Can I get on track thought I wanted to rap
Now stuck in a trap trapping
The flats and the bad habits
To actors thats half assin' they life
Now I'm thinking back to them cracker chatting advice
Wishing I had listened but no chance comes twice
Now that shit long gone just a pawn
In a big game of life so I might as well right through my wrongs
Momma crying on my phone
Cuz' her son causing pain
I was feeling so alone
Taking drugs everyday
Hoping all this fate
And one day it be okay
Dream up on the stage
Hear y'all scream 11k
I been stuck up in the rain I hope I make it out
I just want a couple millie in my bank account
Feel like god build me up just to break me down
I reupped got caught up with the same amount
Lights flash, cops pass, quick stop hide stash
Didn't fucking matter already knew what I had
What we was doing, told me that they wasnt stupid
Told me to give em' what we got and if not that they finna lose it
So they got it wallet in my pocket
Hoping they don't try to search me cuz' I got it
Thinking how the fuck we getting spotted
Who was plotting ain't no stopping
Finna turn to motivation now I'm dropping
Five-15
Plot against me
I ain't hurt a soul all I wanted was the green
How this 360 so quickly strictly been doing it swiftly
Guess I ain't put in enough work
Cuz' now I'm charged up like a phone when you sleep
And if you ever hear the beep It's cuz' I needa say a word
Don't put my face up on a shirt screaming free me
Cuz' when I am free I'm alone up on repeat
Feds was lurking slow doing street sweep
But how they only see me all these other goons walking round moving freely
Hit my family deeply
I was tryna run it up another stone stepped weekly
Thinking who could beat me
Then I take another defeat
Now I'm too far water way more knee deep
Knew it can't be easy
Specially with me being this greedy never knew my momma need me 'till I'm leaving
Now she crying on my phone
Cuz' her son causing pain
I was feeling so alone
Taking drugs everyday
Hoping all this fate
And one day it be okay
Dream up on the stage
Hear y'all scream 11k
I been stuck up in the rain I hope I make it out
I just want a couple millie in my bank account
Feel like god build me up just to break me down
I reupped got caught up with the same amount
In "Last Call" by H.A.K, the lyrics delve into feelings of loneliness, pain, and the struggle to find redemption. The song begins with the singer's mother crying on the phone, expressing her anguish over her son's choices that have caused pain. The singer reflects on their own feelings of isolation, resorting to drugs as a coping mechanism. Despite hoping for a better future, there's a sense of disillusionment and betrayal as the singer feels like God has built them up only to break them down. They find themselves trapped in a cycle of selling drugs, unable to escape their circumstances.
The lyrics also touch upon themes of loyalty and resilience. The singer refuses to betray their friends, choosing to take the fall for them and accepting the consequences. The pressure to re-up and continue their illegal activities becomes a burden, questioning their choices and the impact it has on their own future.
Throughout the song, the singer reflects on missed opportunities and the realization that they should have listened to advice given in the past. However, it becomes clear that the chances for redemption are slipping away, leaving them feeling like just a pawn in the bigger game of life.

Ayşe’nin “p.zevenklerin elinden aldı” ve Kaan’ın “Foolish Casanova”sında gülme krizine girdim 🤣
@deryanin1774
Çok insaflı yorumlamışsınız. Son yılların er berbat senaryosu. Beren Saat’in sinir bozucu ‘oyunculuğu’ndan hiç bahsetmeye gerek yok. Ama siz harikasınız. Teşekkürler 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
@Gomercinkuslari
Babalar sözünü tuttu ve haftada iki bölümle, geçen haftaların acısını çıkarttı! 💘 Beren ve Kıvanç'ın uyumunu iyi bulan var mı bu filmde? Varsa sebepleriyle yazsın, çabuk! 😎
@SecilCimen
Beren lolita ,Kıvanç ülkücü gençlik triplerinden çıkmalı.. Senaryo değişiyor ama saç kesimlerinden bakışlarına her şey her projede aynı.. Film 80’ ler Amerikan romantik filmlerinin çoook kötü bir taklidi..

Neeee toplamda 1,5 saatlik 2 video mu🥲 valla ne tatlı oldu. Ben 1 video ile konuyu kapadınız sanmıştım
@waitforit9251
Bu videoda tarzınızı değiştirmişsiniz, araya atıfta bulunulan videolar giriyor
Bence eğlenceli
@zelaltandogan5137
Her muhabbeti Kızılcık Şerboya bağlamanız ❤ ben 😄 Muhteşemsiniz, iki haftanın acısını çıkardık 🥳👏👏
@gozdebenzet3637
O kadar iyi ki ifade etmişsiniz ki. Resmen emek israfı olmuş. Beren ve Kıvanç'ın yanına bir kameraman verseler onlar da New York ve İstanbul'un gezilecek yerlerini gösterdikleri bir gezi vlogu çekseler daha keyifli bir video olurdu. Döne döne de seyrederdik.
