Global superstar, Akon, releases his first ever full-length Afrobeats album, Akonda today via his Akonik Label Group. The 10-track LP includes Akon’s hit singles “Low Key” and “Wakonda.” “Wakonda,” a play on Afro B’s popular song “Drogba” (Joanna), features West African comedian, Michael Blackson in the hilarious visuals which premiered on World Star Hip Hop earlier this Summer. Akonda also includes stunning collaborations with artists from across the continent including Afro B himself, Olamide, Skale, and Kizz Daniel.
He teamed up with some of the most prominent producers across the world including Nigerian producer Samklef, Grammy award-winning Haitian producer Jerry Wonda, and the popular UK producers that make up Team Salut to name a few. The American born and Senegalese raised superstar wanted to ensure he delivered in a way that truly showcased the beauty and versatility of African culture. Akonda gives us a warm welcome to Africa.
