Originally slated for physical release on 8 July 2014, the hard copies of the album were later released on 28 July 2014 due to manufacturing issues. Levels won Best Male, Video of the Year for "Congratulate", and Best Collaboration for "Run Jozi (Godly)" at the 2014 South African Hip Hop Awards[8][9] and won Male Artist of the Year at the 21st South African Music Awards which took place on 19 April 2015 at Sun City, North West.[10][11] Levels is certified 7× Platinum by RiSA.[12][13] On 28 July 2017, AKA released the collaborative studio album Be Careful What You Wish For with South African record producer and musician Anatii.[14][15]
On 15 June 2018, AKA released his third and last solo studio album Touch My Blood which was issued on his independent record label Beam Group.[16] The album was originally set to release on 25 May 2018 but delayed because he needed more time to shoot videos, release singles, drop merchandise and confirm tour dates.[17][18][19][20] Touch My Blood was preceded by five singles, "The World Is Yours" and "Caiphus Song" which are certified triple platinum and gold respectively by RiSA.[21][22][23] "Star Signs" which features South African rapper and poet Stogie T, "Sweet Fire" and "Beyonce" also preceded the album. Touch My Blood is certified Platinum by the Recording Industry of South Africa (RiSA).[24][25] In 2019 he released "Jika" with Yanga Chief.
AKA's fourth studio album Mass Country was released posthumously on February 24, 2023 through Sony and Vth A. It reached 6 million+ streams on Spotify and certified gold in South Africa.[26]
