Akira's Storm

Akira's Storm is the 12th Album by AMU Henry Smalls, the third album in the Storm trilogy (preceded by Tropical Storm A.H.S. and Hurricane Dotty), and the first album since FINAL FORM. After FINAL FORM failed to amplify the virtual underground scene and Dotty's presence in it, Dotty left the virtual underground scene in search of a new sound. Dotty began experimenting with more atmospheric beats and paradoxical, but honest lyrics, which lead to the Storm influenced theme of this album. Some of the songs were loosely about Dotty's falling out with 9enSokyo and how it affected him, while other songs are about how Dotty is finally getting widespread attention across his scene, but still longs for the same kind of respect from the people around him.

"I remember watching the Micheal Jackson biopic, and I realized that I can't let anything get in the way of my creativity. Any pain or hardships I have to deal with, I should find a way to turn them into fuel. That way, I don't have to keep being affected by the crazy shit. I am finally getting into the kind of art that motivates me" - DottyB
