Check this video out of the music group, AKNU:<br /><br /> /><br />In my opinion, they are definitely channeling MJ in their singing, dancing, and even the songwriting. Check out their Youtube page and you'll see they are definitely inspired by MJ and Motown.<br /><br />Earlier this year, AKNU performed at the Saviours Day Concert, which is an annual convention and holiday celebrated by the Nation of Islam (NOI).<br /><br />http://www.noi.org/sd2014-concert/<br /><br />During this convention, they also screened a documentary titled, "Let's Change the World," which chronicles the life of Louis Farrakhan's (current leader of NOI) life through music. It just so happens that the documentary was directed by Michael Amir, who was MJ's personal assistant before his 'death.'<br /><br />http://www.finalcall.com/artman/publish/National_News_2/article_101261.shtml<br /><br />This doesn't directly connect MJ to the NOI. But, I found an interesting connection between AKNU and the NOI. When you watch their music video, you'll see that it was directed by Thirsty Guerilla Films. This production company also directed a commercial for the NOI (link below):<br /><br /> /><br />And, I think Michael Amir appears in this at 1:05 but I'm not entirely sure it's him. <br /><br />MJ has had a long history with the Nation of Islam, using them for security and even as advisors (Louis Farrakhan's son-in-law, Leonard Muhammad, had briefly advised MJ at the end of 2003 to the beginning of 2004).<br /><br />I've always had a hunch that if MJ is alive, he is with the NOI. After following NOI-related social media accounts I find a lot of their followers are also musicians, especially hip hop and R&B artists (most not at all famous, though). I just find this connection interesting. A part of me feels that MJ may be behind this group AKNU. <br /><br /><br />
