How could I mention T-Pain without Akon? They are the 2010 Nate Dogg's to the rap game, meaning they are the hook champions like Nate Dogg was in the 90's. Akon's last album Freedom was fantastic. He has a super soulful voice and he puts together great line-ups of artists. "I'm So Paid", "Holla Holla", and "Wish I Could Keep You Much Longer" are some great ones from the Freedom album.
Akon got his break with Styles P on "Locked Up", when he was an unknown, and since then he has built himself into one of the R&B/hip-hop game's greats. His Akon mixtape "Konvicts" has all the hits and is a regular spin of mine.
