It looks like Akon, the rapper, is the next artist to crossover into the country genre.
Akon recently told “TMZ”, quote, “I’m actually redoing my whole catalog in country. I’m not even joking.”
He went on to say, “This project has been in motion for the last five years. But starting next month, y’all gonna start seeing the releases.
But it sounds like he found some major country stars to collaborate with and he will play more of a guest role. (Unless this is all a joke.)
(In case you were wondering what Akon would sound like . . . Here’s “Smack That”, the country version.)
