Default My bro is opeing for Akon Tonight :)
Hey everyone, thanks for your comments when I posted his new single. Good things have been happening since then, his single is beening played on Z99 in Regina, 101.3 in Bonneyville and last weekend it was played in Edmonton on the 91.7 the bounce and now tonight he'll be opening for Akon!
here's release on the Bounce in Edmonton, Check it out!

I know its Edmonton, but cut me some slack

You should have someone eliminate Akon, thats the only way this show will be a success....

Awesome! I've actually heard that song before on the Bounce, its catchy! I remember it because afterwards the DJ said he was from Calgary.

PS- Get your bro to break Akon's voice modulator. That guy singlehandedly ruined hip hop for me by creating a generation of voice-modulation tracks, that's all anyone uses now. I hate it.

People were doing it long before Akon decided to do it. If anyone is to blame it is Roger Troutman who brought it to the west coast hip-hop when he did California Love with Tupac.

Ya that's true. It didn't really catch on then though. I'm not a huge music guy so I couldn't break down when it initially happened or who's to blame. I just noticed that it seemed to really start getting mainstream in '07 sometime, and Akon was the first guy I noticed using it, which is why he catches most of my flak for it.

Two other non-hip hop people you could blame is Sher and Madonna, who both used it in hit singles in the late '90's. I remember Sher saying she used it because she couldn't hit the high note.

I don't know who Akon is, but it sounds like he is pretty famous... so good on your brother. Sounds like a great opportunity.

I don't know if it's a good thing your bro is associated with Akon now.

That caused all sorts of problems for Obama.
