Akon - Konvicted (Exclusive Version) Album

Akon’s Konvicted album is a genre-bending collection of R&B and Hip Hop tracks and lots of ballads. Singing with passion and "konviction", he returns with that unmistakable accent and international musical flavor that propelled his debut album to multi-platinum status. The first single "Smack That" is an infectiously catchy dance track, but if R&B ballads are your thing there are plenty of those, too. Highlights include "The Rain", "Never Took the Time" (one of the best tracks on the album), the reggae-beat "Mama Africa", "I Can't Wait", and the retro-soul track "Tired of Runnin.” Akon is everywhere these days and with good reason. He's the perfect blend of thuggery and smooth vocals, a singer with street cred.
