	Akon is No. 1 and 2 in hearts of fans - The Boston Globe
		It's unlikely that those who knew the adolescent named Aliaune Thiam (Akon is his middle name) realized he had such an abundance of music in him, or that he would come to so successfully straddle thug-image rap and smooth-crooner soul.
		That said, Akon believes that the misfit who earned his gangsta rep fighting, stealing, and doing time in Newark is far removed from the genial, low-key-for-hip-hop star (his diamond-encrusted medallion and watch are covered by a simple hoodie) who now dreams of the good his charitable foundation will do for Senegal.
		Akon's dual nature and charisma are certainly in evidence at his post-game performance.

		It was AKON's deep rooted love and passion for music, evolving from filial admiration, which allowed him to turn his life around, despite his trouble as a youth residing in New Jersey.

		Akon's unique delivery is a nice change from the same ole same old.
		After Akon's first album Trouble (although there were a lot of albums released in 2004 with that title), I really didn't think he would have a lasting impression because a substantial career as a hardcore R&B singer is not an easy task (just ask TQ).

	Singer Akon milks past conviction for all it's worth \| Chron.com - Houston Chronicle
		The son of noted jazz musician Mor Thiam, Akon was introduced to music early and calls the art form his salvation.
		Akon would have us believe he's a rough-and-tumble gangster alongside gutter rapper Styles P on Blown Away, but he's most convincing on Never Took the Time, a vulnerable, heart-on-sleeve dazzler.
		Akon is careful to work every corner of the room as Konvicted offers something for everyone: Wannabe thugs will bounce to the gun-shots of opener Shake Down; ladies will sway to the reggae-tinged Mama Africa; and, apparently, the whole world will shake to Smack That (heaven, help us).
