Part 2: Akon on Having 30 Cars & Gas Station at His House
--------
Music mogul Akon has unveiled his latest musical project, a dynamic group known as Sheesh. Akon shared the journey of discovering and signing this promising duo, who hail originally from Chicago but later moved to Atlanta. The duo's early fascination with music saw them starting to rap at the tender age of eight, despite a turbulent adolescence marked by exposure to violence and crime. It was this raw and authentic journey that caught Akon’s notice. The group’s unique approach of sampling Akon's own music, creatively spun to grab attention, resonated with Akon profoundly. Akon recalls being blown away by their fresh talent and the power of their story, which mirrored his own struggles in its resilience and determination. Emphasizing the lack of new groups in the hip-hop scene, Akon sees Sheesh as filling a vital gap, bringing both innovation and group dynamic back to the genre.
