Akinyele (born Akinyele Adams) (pronounced aa-kin-ELL-ee) is an American emcee who recorded in the 1990s and early 2000s, known for his sexually explicit lyrics, including his 1996 underground radio hit “Put it in Your Mouth.”

He went to the same high school as Nas, Kool G Rap, and Large Professor. Together with Nas, he made his first appearance on the "'[Live at the BBQ" track of the Main Source album Breaking Atoms in 1991.

Despite his dirty lyrics, he is known for his rough and gravelly voice and his sometimes comical style.
