After winning music fans over with his 2003 multi-platinum debut ‘Trouble’, Senegalese singer Akon returns with more stories from his personal journey via his sophomore album ‘Konvicted’. If 'Trouble' was Akon’s ode to redemption (before his music career took off he served time for car theft), 'Konvicted' picks up at the rebirth.

Akon produced and wrote all but one song on 'Konvicted' and the album features tracks recorded with Eminem (the first single, “Smack That”), Snoop Dogg (“I Want to Love You”) and Styles P. (who laced Akon’s debut hit single, “Locked Up”). 'Konvicted' balances streetwise swagger, studio originality and common sense to create one of the most honest releases of 2006.

Over the course of his career  Akon has traveled the world and collaborated with everyone from Snoop Dogg to Ladysmith Black Mambazo. His Konvict Music imprint, which is distributed by Interscope Records, boasts a roster that includes T-Pain and former TLC member Rozonda “Chilli” Thomas.

With the brilliance of 'Konvicted', label owner, singer, songwriter and producer Akon breaks down musical barriers while also validating his importance as a soul man for the new millennium. Like fine wine, Konvicted proves that Akon only gets better with time.
