░▓███░ FOR INTERNAL PURPOSES ONLY!!! ░███▓░ ░░ ▒
░▓███░ ░███▓░ ░ ░
░▓███░ There's a reason why Akon titled his ░███▓░ ░ ░
░▓███░ impressive debut album Trouble. The ░███▓░ ░ ░
░▓███░ word describes both his life's course ░███▓░ ░ ░
░▓███░ and the difficulties music critics ░███▓░ ░ ░
░▓███░ will have stuffing him neatly into a ░███▓░ ░ ░
░▓███░ box. Born in St. Louis and raised in ░███▓░ ░ ░
░▓███░ the United States and Senegal, he has ░███▓░ ░ ░
░▓███░ lived at both ends of the cultural ░███▓░ ░ ░
░▓███░ spectrum. As the son of jazz musician ░███▓░ ░ ░
░▓███░ Mor Thiam, acclaimed for his expertise ░███▓░ ░ ░
░▓███░ on the West African djembe drum, Akon ░███▓░ ░ ░
░▓███░ was exposed to legends like dance ░███▓░ ░ ░
░▓███░ matriarch Katherine Dunham, who, along ░███▓░ ░ ░
░▓███░ with Alvin Ailey, brought his father ░███▓░ ░ ░
░▓███░ to America. Akon's cultured ░███▓░ ░ ░
░▓███░ upbringing, however, did not shield ░███▓░ ░ ░
░▓███░ him from the taunts of his classmates. ░███▓░ ░ ░
░▓███░ "I always found myself fighting, ░███▓░ ░ ░
░▓███░ because they were always teasing me ░███▓░ ░ ░
░▓███░ about my skin complexion," he says, ░███▓░ ░ ░
░▓███░ referring to his rich, jet black tone. ░███▓░ ░ ░
░▓███░ ░███▓░ ░ ░
░▓███░ For all his schoolyard brawls, Akon's ░███▓░ ░ ░
░▓███░ woes intensified as a 16-year-old, ░███▓░ ░ ░
░▓███░ when he and his older brother moved to ░███▓░ ░ ░
░▓███░ Jersey City. "In Senegal, the parents ░███▓░ ░ ░
░▓███░ let go of their kids younger, because ░███▓░ ░ ░
░▓███░ the early discipline is so strict," he ░███▓░ ░ ░
░▓███░ says. But perhaps he wasn't ready for ░███▓░ ░ ░
░▓███░ his newfound freedom. Before long, he ░███▓░ ░ ░
░▓███░ started stealing cars and street ░███▓░ ░ ░
░▓███░ hustling, which led to stints in jail. ░███▓░ ░ ░
░▓███░ ░███▓░ ░ ░
░▓███░ But his last stretch-a year and a half ░███▓░ ░ ░
░▓███░ for car theft-was enough to scare him ░███▓░ ░ ░
░▓███░ straight. "This time I came out a ░███▓░ ░ ░
░▓███░ whole different person," he says, ░███▓░ ░ ░
░▓███░ sitting at the mixing boards of his ░███▓░ ░ ░
░▓███░ Atlanta home studio, where he's been ░███▓░ ░ ░
░▓███░ banging out his diverse collection of ░███▓░ ░ ░
░▓███░ tunes. "I would compare him to ░███▓░ ░ ░
░▓███░ Pharrell," says Lil' Zane, who used ░███▓░ ░ ░
░▓███░ Akon's production talents on his own ░███▓░ ░ ░
░▓███░ debut. "He can do your beat and sing ░███▓░ ░ ░
░▓███░ your chorus." ░███▓░ ░ ░
░▓███░ ░███▓░ ░ ░
░▓███░ Trouble ranges from "Bananza," a ░███▓░ ░ ░
░▓███░ bouncy dance cut in the vein of R. ░███▓░ ░ ░
░▓███░ Kelly's "Snake," to songs like ░███▓░ ░ ░
░▓███░ "Lonely," which samples crooner Bobby ░███▓░ ░ ░
░▓███░ Vinton's 1964 hit "Mr. Lonely," and ░███▓░ ░ ░
░▓███░ "Pot of Gold," where Akon channels a ░███▓░ ░ ░
░▓███░ young Bob Marley. The world music ░███▓░ ░ ░
░▓███░ influence is evident on several ░███▓░ ░ ░
░▓███░ tracks. Akon also gives voice, via ░███▓░ ░ ░
░▓███░ gritty tales like "Locked Up" and ░███▓░ ░ ░
░▓███░ "Trouble," to the challenges inmates ░███▓░ ░ ░
░▓███░ and ex-felons face. "That's ░███▓░ ░ ░
░▓███░ intentional," he says, "You really ░███▓░ ░ ░
░▓███░ can't shed the light on anyone until ░███▓░ ░ ░
░▓███░ you let them see the dark side." Let ░███▓░ ░ ░
░▓███░ there be light. ░███▓░ ░ ░
