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...
Akon feat Kaye Styles – Shawty
posted by Gallivanter
The word “shawty” seems to be getting a lot of attention lately. 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. He...
Michael Jackson ft Akon – Wanna Be Startin Something 2008
posted by Gallivanter
[ad] I checked out the album, mainly for the collaborations on MJ’s legendary tunes. Fergie, Kanye West, Will.I.Am and Akon are all featured in a handful of updated MJ tunes. THRILLER, till date, is the BIGGEST selling album of all time. This was Michael Jackson at his best. No one else...
Mario ft Akon – Do Right

DJ Felli Fel ft Diddy, Akon, Ludacris & Lil Jon – Get Buck in Here
posted by Gallivanter
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! DJ Felli Fel ft Diddy, Akon, Ludacris & Lil...
