Lady GaGa ft. Colby O'Donis - 'Just Dance'

Naturally it helps that everything which Akon has a hand in tends to sound quite similar, but still. Everything from the monolithic synth to the Katy Perry-meets-Rihanna cold purr with which Lady GaGa sings sounds incredibly recent, as if she's the one-woman embodiment of The Sound Of 20...

Akon "Freedom" Album Review

Akon has been a fixture on the hip-hop scene since his collaboration with Styles P, “Locked Up.” Styles P is a beast on the microphone! Here’s another random thought: I think Akons current single “I’m So Paid” was a bad song to release during a recession. I don’t doubt that “Freedom” will sell...

Akon: Freedom (Reviews)

2. Beautiful (feat. Colby O’Donis & Kardinal Offishall) 3. Keep You Much Longer 4. Troublemaker (feat. Sweet Rush) 5. We Don’t Care 6. I’m So Paid (feat. Young Jeezy & Lil Wayne) 7. Holla Holla (feat. T-Pain) 9. Be With You 10. Sunny Day (feat. Wyclef Jean) 11. Birthmark 12. Over The Edge 13. Freedom Akon’s done it again with his newest album entitled Freedom which was changed from Acquitted by Akon’s label Universal Music. Unfortunately we missed out on a duet with Akon and Michael Jackson, but I’m sure that’s floating around somewhere. Despite Akon’s time in jail and his crazy misfortune with an under-aged girl in a club in Trinidad and Tobago he can’t seem to miss with this new release from Konvict Muzik. That being said, let’s get to it, shall we?

Kardinal Offishall ft. Akon - 'Dangerous'

But we're not here to talk about squeaky old Akon, are we? Even if he does represent about 65% of all the vocalising contained within this song. His isn't the face on the packaging after all. That would be Kardinal Offishall (of the province of Dyslexia, presumably).

Opinion: The “Thriller” Remixes: Kanye, Akon, Will.i.am and Fergie Try to Top the Chipmunks’ “Beat It”

Kanye West’s reworking of “Beat It” is a bit less imaginative. West only appears in monosyllabic groans, muttering “Yeah” and “Uh Uh” numerous times but never busting out an actual verse, keeping MJ’s vocals intact with the focus on the more orchestral moments of the song. And then there’s...

Music Review: Akon - Konvicted

Like any modern R&B/Rap album, there has to be a club joint or two. Akon covers that beautifully with the Eminem feature "Smack That." The lyrics are typically booty, but for what it is, it’s as enjoyable as anything else on the record. Eminem, however poor his rhymes have been as of late, a...
