Musical Style and Influence: Akon’s music blends genres effortlessly, fusing R&B, hip-hop, and reggae with elements of African beats and melodies. His ability to seamlessly integrate diverse cultural influences has earned him critical acclaim and a dedicated fan base worldwide.

Akon's new EP draws heavily from Afrobeats - a genre that's become a global phenomenon thanks to artists like Davido, Wizkid and Burna Boy. He says he's been trying to boost the style of music, which mixes African and Western influences, for years, and even signed Wizkid to his own label in 2008.
