Akon is back.

Akon is a legend of the music world at this point. Overall, the man saw a lot of success during the 2000s. It was during this time that he made a plethora of chart-topping hits. Songs like "Smack That" and "Locked Up" are iconic at this point. Moreover, he has become an entrepreneur who wants to do big things. While taking a break from music, the artist was able to do some charitable work in Africa. He brought electricity to numerous towns, and he was responsible for some great initiatives.

Additionally, the artist also worked on creating a whole new city. The city would be named after himself, although it did eventually hit a few snags. Either way, he has been very busy as of late. He even got to do some interviews that eventually went viral. Of course, how can you forget his appearance on Drink Champs where he was dripped out in some fake Dior? Now, Akon is back with some music. Below, you can find his latest project, an 8-track EP simply titled Afro Freak.
