Akon Against Guns

I liked this article with Akon because it finally gives him a headline, which isn't directly related to his being involved in a negative way. Yes this comes at the heels of rapper Dolla's death, but to raise awareness is still a big issue. I do feel incident's shouldn't cause celebrities to act, they should constantly be in the state of helping others if they can.

Ace Hood - Overtime

This track is featuring Akon and T-Pain and I really like the message that is being sent in the song. Check it for yourself, hopefully this get's some more recognition, because in these times I think we need songs for inspiration and motivation.

Rapper Dolla Killed

I just caught this news and I wanted to share this track I got from Allhiphop by Dolla who was shot and killed very recently. He was looking towards a promising career through Akon's label, but now we lose another person in a fight. If your having a hard time trying to remember Dolla he was in the song with T-Pain "Who the F*** is Dat" RIP DOLLA

Suge Knight, My how the mighty have fallen

Marion "Suge" Knight got beat up a few days ago while attending NBA all star weekend. One of the people involved claims to be an associate of the singer Akon, and is said to be charged with assault along with a few other charges. Man I do remember 95 when it was Death Row Vs Bad Boy. Suge please get some help!
