ooops dguy i've gotten it,
My deal with Akon – Faze opens upWhen he first broke the news in December 2006 that he had struck a deal with Akon’s label Konvict Music and that he was recording a song with the Senegalese-born superstar, many took singer Faze’s assertions with a pinch of salt. Especially when he released his second album ‘Independent’ without the rumoured duet with Akon and without Convict’s imprint.
Now the high-pitched singer, who’s joining forces with buddies 2face and Blackface to record another Plantashun Boiz album has explained the real situation of his ‘deal’ with Akon.
In an exclusive chat at HipHopWorld office, in Ikeja lagos, the excited singer, beaming radiantly ,and glad for what the future holds, explains: ‘we agreed to meet in Ghana…we had been in touch even before then. He heard my stuff and said he was feeling it. So we met in Ghana and spent time together…in the studios, going out etc…and we agreed on the convict deal…it’s going to start running as soon as we conclude everything. That’ll be after I go to the US very soon’
Determined to convince us, and prove to sceptics he was no name-dropper, he played a recorded clip on his portable DVD, showing Akon and himself disembarking from a limousine, encircled by bodyguards. In the clip, Akon says of Faze: ‘yo whassup…I’m hanging out with my man Faze…watch out for his album on Konvict music’…
Though, however, the clip did not show the artistes signing a contract, Akon showed the Nigerian star love and suggested they may be working together. Those who know, have said, Akon- who rose to superstardom following the success of his post-prison LP ‘locked up’- plans to release a Faze album on Konvict in 2008.
Before the recent development, Akon who has performed in Nigeria twice since 2005, had openly identified with 2face Idibia and D’banj. At a 2005 concert held at the Coronet (Elephant & castle), London , he hopped upstage to join 2face Idibia after he got overwhelmed by the singer’s performance. However, the rumoured collaborations with 2face and D’banj have yet to see the light of day.
Waiting 2 see dis ALBUM.
