Akon x Kon Live Distribution. Akon talks with the Associated Press about the signing of Lady Gaga to his record label Kon Live Distribution which he crowns her as the “franchise player”. He also discusses hip hop mash ups with techno music and mentions Dr. Dre producing techno records.
I always thought she was signed to his label for some reason, but this is smart. I think Akon is realizing the typical rap music formula is not as lucrative as it was before..
Def Jam needs to realize that too (they are trying to sign Shyne for Seven figures..#cmonson)

Dang I never knew it was Akon that brought her on. He can just live off her deals now. I never respected his music but I’ll respect this business decision to bring on basically the biggest pop act in the world right now.
