How So?

Aliaune Thiam, born in the USA with Senegalese roots, appeared 2004/2005 suddenly on the scene when he "Locked Up" auskoppelte his smash hit as the first single from his debut album "Trouble". German fans, he was more likeable as he took a remix with Azad of selbigem track. After "Locked Up" followed "Lonely", a love song with a distinctive, Bobby Vintons "Mr. Lonely" gesampleden Chorus - after all, in Ireland, Germany and England a # 1 hit. Further singles were "Belly Dancer", "Pot of Gold" and "Ghetto".

Its very high, unique voice brings enormous brand recognition, similar to Eminem or in German lands Jan Delay. Akon is one of the most successful R & B artists of recent years, and one of the meistgefeaturedsten singers, rappers like pop musicians and other singers; He has already worked with Gwen Stefani, Snoop Dogg, Styles P, Bonethugs-N-Harmony, Lady Gaga, Eminem, 50 Cent and many other internationally successful stars of the music scene.

Since then appeared two more albums, "Konvicted" and "Freedom", which were equally successful. And it all started with this album, the huge variety of topics provides - by no means a matter of course in today's mainstream artists. So Akon processed in "Locked Up" his prison experiences in "Lonely" he sings about a past love, "Ghetto" deals with the life in the poorest and most dangerous conditions, "Belly Dancer" is a successful and happy party song played and and and.

One day the present piece is perhaps a really valuable rarity. Akon's' meteoric rise in Hip Hop and R & B business is unprecedented - in terms of the past few years.
