This type of music is made for true lovers. I love this. This just touched my heart, and my friend sings this for me.

Don’t Matter

This track was released in 2007. It was a good song, although the message brought contradictory views on polygamy. When such a message is passed on by a male artist, on keeping a relationship going, it becomes more interesting to listen.

Locked Up

It was released in 2004 being his first single. Locked up is unique compared to his other songs with its distinctly street feel. The single launched his music career. It tells the story of Akon getting pinned up for a crime. Here are some views from YouTube fans on the song:

Back when Akon spoke of things he truly cared about, and it showed in the song. Unique lyrics and a fitting beat
How is this not in the top 5? Much better than Right Now, his older music was way better, vote Locked Up
Love it boo boo

Pot of Gold

The introduction of this song is spectacular where it starts with a gospel piano. It is full of positive feedback and explains how people work hard just to make it in this cruel world. It built a bridge of not rapping old financial struggles but on how to raise a whole group concern on poverty.

Akon songs are loved and widely celebrated. He has been in the industry for more than a decade, and through his music, a lot of people have been inspired. We celebrate Akon best songs.
