Del: ilikemusic because... music is life
Jo Whiley: ilikemusic because... It makes me laugh and it makes my cry and it gets me out of a stress if I’m in a stress, and, if I’m in a good place then it will make me in a better place. It’s all about the emotion, it’s all about the feeling where music takes you to and what affect it has on you.
David Jordan: ilikemusic because... It makes me feel good and it puts me in a happy mood.
Sam, Get Cape Wear Cape Fly: ilikemusic because... Music is a special thing that is not like anything else in the world. You might argue that you can translate emotions through films and through books but anyone can make music, whether that be humming or singing along to the radio, it’s something that gives enjoyment and positivity to many people.
Rob X: ilikemusic because... it puts me in the mood...for anything i feel like!

Comedy Tragedy History is the second release from Akala's critically acclaimed second album 'Freedom Lasso' on Illa State records. True to form, Akala spits furious lyrics set against a relentless electro sample from Baxter Baxter's 'Straylight', with an orgy of genre defying demonic beats straddling everything from drum'n'bass to nu-rave, delectably seasoned with a live string quartet and live drums, whilst playing homage to literary genius Shakespeare.
The track began life last year when Akala was challenged live on air on BBC 1Xtra's Twin B show to come up with an impromptu freestyle making use of 27 Shakespeare play titles.

Having risen to the challenge with a classic freestyle enjoying numerous rewinds, including requests on Ras Kwame's Radio 1 show, Akala was encouraged by his producer Rez to expand the theme into a song, which became 'Comedy Tragedy History', a master-class of lyrical dexterity, flipping quotes from Shakespeare into a modern context.
"To be honest, it wasn't that hard, you'd be surprised how much of our everyday language is made up from Shakespeare - ' the shirt off my back', 'method in his madness' the list is endless, Shakespeare wasn't just an amazing playwright - his insight into humanity was so crazy that he's affected language 400 in his future!" - Akala
