As you probally know, Akon releases the majority of his music under the “rap” genre.

If you know a little history about this platinum rapper, you would find out that he was arrested and incarsarated for a crime in his younger adult life. Soon after he started his career as a hip-hop artist, and believe it or not, he calls his recording company…. “Konvict Music,” no doubt playing on the use of his name “Akon” which can be mistaken as “a con.” Konvict = Convict.

Saying “Konvict” at the begining of a song is simply Akon’s way of saying that he is either in the song, or produced it.

Hope this was helpful, and… I think its a nice touch rather than “annoying.”

Yeah, annoying but maybe its a reminder of wher he came from to where he is now. I guess if he’s doing as good as he is now he deserves to say whateva now!
