AK-Shun pronounced (ac·tion), defined as…“the state or process of doing”, well the 21 year-old is definitely living up to his name, with his high energy antics and impact flow AK-Shun moves even the toughest hip-hop crowds. Born in Charleston South Carolina, Brandon Graham became highly inspired by music at the age of 11, at the age of 12, he and his mother moved to Goose Creek, SC (a small town located 5 minutes from North Charleston) to live with his grandmother. Growing up around older cousins involved in music, made AK-Shun evolve his lyrics at a young, to compete with older more experienced MC’s, “growing up there would always be a cipher and since I was the youngest, I felt that I had to put in more effort to stand out and be better… “.
