Ladies and gentleman, we have a winning combination right here! After Akon’s excellent rendition of MJ’s Wanna Be Startin Somethin earlier in the year, both of them went back to the studio to record this track. It’s classic Michael Jackson, and it’s catchy. You can actually imagine the music video - a choir singing and [...]

This track is taken off Kardinal Offishall’s 4th album, “Not 4 Sale”. Akon is the executive producer of the album and it’s no surprise that he lends his voice for this track. I was not smitten by the song at first, but after the second chorus, I enjoyed it. A recommended track for you Akon [...]

What was before used to demean short folks, is now re-branded by the black community - just someone hollering at you, and nothing else. Now, it’s Akon’s turn to “borrow” the word.

Wyclef’s back with his sixth album, “Carnival Vol 2 : Memoirs Of An Immigrant”, with guest collaborations by Akon, Lil Wayne, Shakira, Paul Simon, Mary J. Blige, Chamillionaire, Will.I.Am and this one, to me, the best song on the album, with Norah Jones.

This song was released somewhere in July, with Diddy & Ludacris rapping on the verses, while Akon lends his usual catchy hook on the chorus and Lil Jon on the outro, slowing the tempo down until the song comes to a halt. It’s catchy!
