Akon is Country



Musical genius Akon has recorded a secret country album in hopes to be the first black successful country singer... I wish Akon the best of luck with that…you know, it’s sad when you have to disclose your identity to make an album. If it all works out for Akon, he could make history. I just wished he would waited until the album and music was a hit nationally and then came out the closet, now listeners are going to be looking for that distinctiveness that he has in his voice…Good luck to Akon...We have to support our chocolate stars, even if country is not your dizzle, make sure you show A some love!

check out what Akon had to say about going country:


"R&B star Akon has recorded a “secret” country and western record and released it under an alias in a bid to be the first successful black artist in the genre. The ‘Lonely’ singer is a big fan of country music and is determined to conquer the genre but is convinced that fans of the music would not buy the records if they were released under his real name.
And the 34-year-old insists he is already on his way to making it big as a country star as he has already released his first single - and it has been a major success. He says, ‘No black artist has ever broken into the genre. I’m going in under a secret alias and I’ve already got my first hit record."
