Guest List: Akon's Rap Hooks
Apple Music
With his high, trembling voice and hard-luck story, Akon had the right combination of grit and charm to become one of rap's favourite hook singers following his anthemic collaboration with Young Jeezy on “Soul Survivor”. Whether belting the triumphant chorus on a DJ Khaled posse cut or tenderly blending his voice with Bone Thugs-n-Harmony, he was made for hip-hop soul.
