    Once In A While, The Rain, Never Took the Time, hard to say, there isn't a bad song on that album. Only one I'm not big on is Rush.

    Listening to it right now, brings back a lot of memories from childhood, used to listen to this in elementary school on a CD player lol. Used to have the CD but my Dad's friend crashed the car it was in but that's a whole different story.

    I wasn't a huge fan of Once in a While when I first got the album, but I relistened to the album in its entirety a little while back and all of a sudden love it. Probably my favourite now.

    Hoping one of the 5 discs in Akon's upcoming 5-disc album is of Konvicted's caliber.

    tbh, I THINK this is what got me into Akon. Either this or "Locked Up". They were both frequent on Much Vibe years ago

    The production on the album is simple but great. Just hearing of the 5 disc album now from you, when is that coming out? I haven't been a big fan of much of him other than Konvicted and a bunch of his features. A lot of his albums after Konvicted were very pop/mainstream aimed

    Yeah he's a dope (and pretty underrated) producer. Once in a While's beat/sampling was superb.

    he only put out one album after Konvicted, which was Freedom in 2008. That was his most pop-oriented album and it was completely clean. No idea when the 5 disc (Stadium) comes out but he put out some previews on New Years. songs are streamed here: http://www.akon.com/

    @rapmusik @Soldier Konvicted is a great album. Freedom was great too though, I thought there were mostly good songs in it. Looking forward to this possible 5-disc release.

    Can't believe I forgot this one, I'm pretty sure it was the first Akon feature I heard. The beginning of Akon starting a feature with "Akon and [artist whose song he's featuring on]!" I miss that.

    I enjoyed Freedom as well, but not as much as Trouble and Konvicted. I found the content on Freedom to be generally consistent (usually about a girl or love interest). My favourites on there are probably "Freedom" and "Against the Grain". Maybe "Troublemaker" too. Actually 'bout to pop in my Konvicted CD and drive around for a bit because it's midnight and I'm bored as f---.

    Nice, enjoy your drive. I'll have to revisit all 3 albums, probably been a year since I heard any of them outside of songs coming up on shuffle. I hope his next one drops this year, it's been too long.
