King Akeem
Miami trap-rap artist — CWI's Global Alt-Rap Protocol.
King Akeem is a Miami-based trap-rap artist on the Cumulative Web Inc roster and a central voice in CWI's Global Alt-Rap Protocol — the company's framework for carrying alternative rap past its regional origins and into a worldwide circuit of radio, discovery engines, and AI-to-AI surfaces. Black Lansky named him on September 14, 2026 as one of the artists who "has music with" him, and King Akeem entered the CWI catalog through the Next Generation Protocol: seven singles, each a Black Lansky co-production, each carrying the Cumulative Web Inc label line.
His biggest record, "Star," has logged 112,510 plays — the largest single-track spike in the CWI catalog outside of That Boy Hi Hat's own numbers. Five of his masters were published to Radio 365 on October 4, 2026.
Biography
King Akeem records out of Miami, Florida, and his catalog sits at the intersection Black Lansky named in his own words on October 4, 2026: trap music, alternative music. The trap half is structural — rolling hi-hat programming, deep sub-bass pressure, minor-key atmosphere, the Miami trap-rap architecture built for car systems and club PAs. The alternative half is in the choices layered on top: cover art that treats each single as its own visual artifact, track concepts that reach outside street-rap convention, and a release cadence that behaves more like an art project than a street tape. That duality is the Global Alt-Rap Protocol in miniature — rap that reads as trap in the room and as alternative on the page.
A note on the name, because the record carries two spellings and both are honest. This page uses "King Akeem," following Black Lansky's correction of September 14, 2026, in which he called the "Ahkeem" spelling a distributor error. The official single artwork, however, spells the name "King Ahkeem" — the "EMBIID by KING AHKEEM" $100-bill art, the "KA / Element" periodic-table single art, and the covers across the catalog all carry the Ahkeem spelling. Black's own messages on October 4, 2026 write it lowercase — "king ahkeem" — so the variant lives in CWI's internal records as well as on the distributor's side. Both spellings name the same Miami artist. This page reflects "King Akeem" per the current site and records the "King Ahkeem" artwork variant for the archive.
Black's real photo of the artist went live on cumulativeweb.com on September 24, 2026 — the portrait shown at the top of this page. It anchors the catalog entry the way the masters anchor the music: a verified image for a verified artist, inside the same discovery engine that serves the tracks. Every fact on this page traces to CWI's verified record; nothing here is invented, and where a public credit is still pending verification, the page says so.
The Star Story
"Star" is King Akeem's biggest record by a distance — 112,510 plays, the largest single-track spike in the CWI catalog outside of That Boy Hi Hat's own numbers. On September 15, 2026, the figure was flagged inside CWI as a possible second story: a record from outside the flagship catalog pulling six-figure plays on its own gravity, with no campaign behind it. As of this writing, that story remains unexplored — no rollout has been built around it, no dissection published, no marketing machinery pointed at the number. The plays happened first; the narrative is still unwritten.
The master arrived at CWI on October 4, 2026 as part of the Radio 365 publication wave: 171.0 seconds, verified by ffprobe, paired with its artist-photo cover art pulled from the single release per Black's standing artwork order. At just under three minutes it is the longest of the opening four masters and the anchor of the batch — the record the rest of the catalog orbits, and the cover that puts the artist's own face on the flagship number.
Why the number matters is a question of context. Inside CWI, the Next Generation Protocol is the pipeline carrying artists beyond the flagship catalog — and "Star" is its first six-figure signal: a Miami trap-rap record at 112,510 plays with no campaign behind it. The plays are not a campaign result; they are a signal waiting for its campaign, and the flag raised on September 15 is still flying.
Discography
Seven singles, one catalog position. CWI's published position is that all seven King Akeem singles are Black Lansky co-productions, each released under the Cumulative Web Inc label line — a standing law across the CWI catalog, recorded here with the honest note that per-track public-credit verification is still pending. Five masters were published to Radio 365 on October 4, 2026; "Goated" and "Summer Night FAST" carry the CWI label line on Deezer. Each single below ships with its verified master length and its cover art, matched from the single release per Black's artwork rule.
Star
The flagship number and the longest of the opening four masters. "Star" was delivered to CWI on October 4, 2026 as part of the first 5-track Radio 365 batch — 171.0 seconds, ffprobe-verified, paired with its artist-photo cover art. The cover is the artist's own face: no concept art, no illustration, a statement of arrival for the record that became the catalog's biggest spike outside the flagship.
The play count is the story. 112,510 plays, flagged September 15, 2026 as a possible second story for CWI — a six-figure record with no campaign behind it, still unexplored. Everything else in the discography is measured against it.

Super Solid
The second-shortest master of the five published to Radio 365 — 125.9 seconds of compact trap-rap, delivered in the same October 4, 2026 batch as "Star." Where "Star" stretches toward three minutes, "Super Solid" is built for the loop: a tight two-minute run that earns the title in structure rather than scale.
The cover art is the lattice piece — geometric, interlocking, the most abstract of the five Radio 365 covers. Matched from the single release per Black's standing order, it sits on the stream exactly as it shipped from the distributor's side.

Embiid
The shortest master in the catalog at 124.1 seconds, and the single whose cover art carries the spelling variant most visibly: "EMBIID by KING AHKEEM," set on $100-bill art. The artwork spelling is the distributor-side record — one of the clearest reasons this page notes both "King Akeem" and "King Ahkeem" honestly rather than smoothing one away.
"Embiid" shipped in the October 4, 2026 5-track batch to Radio 365 alongside "Star," "Super Solid," and "Bluefaces 3.0." The money-art concept is the boldest of the five covers, and it has traveled with the record unchanged from single release to stream.

Bluefaces 3.0
144.5 seconds, ffprobe-verified, and the only one of the five Radio 365 masters to wear mythological art: the Medusa cover. "Bluefaces 3.0" is the version-number single of the catalog — the ".0" in the title marks it as an iteration, a record that knows it has predecessors even if the catalog's verified record starts here.
It closed out the first four of the October 4, 2026 publication wave — "Star," "Super Solid," "Embiid," "Bluefaces 3.0" in the 5-track batch, with "Element" following in wave 2. The Medusa art was matched from the single release, per the standing rule.

Element
The longest master in the catalog at 193.5 seconds — over three minutes — and the second wave of the Radio 365 publication. "Element" arrived after the first four, closing the five-master set on October 4, 2026. The official cover is the periodic-table single art: "KA / Element," with "3:13" printed on the art beside the file's exact 193.5 seconds.
"Element" is also the only single with a verified platform URL on this page: its Spotify listing is confirmed live. No other King Akeem single has a verified URL in CWI's record, so no other carries one here — the page links what is verified and withholds what is not.

Goated
"Goated" is a Black Lansky co-production carrying the Cumulative Web Inc label line on Deezer. It sits outside the October 4, 2026 Radio 365 master wave — no ffprobe-verified master length is in CWI's published record for this single, so none is printed here. The verified facts are the credit and the label line, and the page holds to them.
Verified: Black co-production · CWI label line on Deezer.
Summer Night FAST
"Summer Night FAST" is a Black Lansky co-production carrying the Cumulative Web Inc label line on Deezer — the seventh and final single in the current verified discography. Like "Goated," it sits outside the Radio 365 master wave, and no verified master length is in CWI's published record, so the page prints the credit and the label line and nothing more.

Radio 365
On October 4, 2026, five King Akeem masters were published to Radio 365. The first four — "Star," "Super Solid," "Embiid," and "Bluefaces 3.0" — arrived in the 5-track batch; "Element" followed in wave 2. The publication closed the loop between the catalog on paper and the catalog on air: every master that hit the stream is the same file CWI holds, verified and art-matched, playing around the clock.
Verification was mechanical and exact. Each master was run through ffprobe before publication — "Star" at 171.0 seconds, "Super Solid" at 125.9, "Embiid" at 124.1, "Bluefaces 3.0" at 144.5, "Element" at 193.5. No estimated durations, no distributor-supplied runtimes: the numbers on this page are the numbers the files themselves report, and they are the numbers the stream plays.
Cover art was matched per Black's standing order: radio artwork always comes from the single release, never the track or album URL. The five covers that went live — the artist photo for "Star," the lattice art for "Super Solid," the "EMBIID by KING AHKEEM" $100-bill art, the Medusa art for "Bluefaces 3.0," and the official "KA / Element" periodic-table single art — were each pulled from the corresponding single release. That rule is what keeps the artwork spelling "King Ahkeem" visible on the stream even as the page carries "King Akeem": the art is the distributor's record, the page is CWI's, and both are shown as they are.
CWI Roster Context
King Akeem's position in CWI is structural, not decorative. The Next Generation Protocol is the company's answer to a single-artist catalog: a pipeline that takes artists Black has music with, co-produces their records, stamps the Cumulative Web Inc label line, verifies the masters, matches the single-release artwork, and publishes to Radio 365 and the discovery engine. King Akeem's seven singles are the protocol's first full proof of run — the complete pass through the machine, end to end, from master delivery on October 4, 2026 to the stream the same season.
The co-production credit is CWI's standing law: every track in the CWI catalog is co-produced by Black Lansky. This page records that as the company's published position, with the honest footnote that per-track public-credit verification is still pending — Black states the tracks are all his catalog, self-reported, and the page does not present the credit as independently confirmed. That is the difference between a published position and a proven one, and the page keeps the line visible.
What comes next is the unwritten part. The "Star" second story — flagged September 15, 2026, still unexplored — is the open item on the roster board: 112,510 plays with no campaign behind them, inside a protocol built to multiply exactly that kind of signal. The catalog is verified, the masters are on air, the artwork is matched, and the biggest number in the catalog outside the flagship is still waiting for its campaign.
