Akon
Is the most recent rapper to explore the realm of country music.

TMZ
I caught up with Akon in New York City where he was signing autographs and sought his opinion on fellow artists like
Snoop
and
BigXthaPlug
Collaborating with musicians from the country genre was when he disclosed that he has been engaged in transforming his song collection into country-style tracks, complete with performances by these country artists.

Akon mentioned he’s revamping his entire collection with a country twist,” he stated. “This isn’t a joke…it’s something I’ve considered for ages. We’ve been working on this project over the past half-decade. However, beginning next month, everyone will start noticing these new releases rolling out.

He also mentioned that tracks such as his chart-topping single ”
Locked Up
” will be included and that the tracks will be performed by the country artists while he plays more of a guest role. “They’re country artists featuring me. They’re the ones performing them.”

The current blend of country and hip-hop music isn’t really something novel. Notably, Nelly and Tim McGraw teamed up for the hit song ”
Over and Over
“in 2004, reaching a peak position of No. 3 on the
Hot 100
and remained on the chart for six months. Recently, BigXthaPlug collaborated with country artist Bailey Zimmerman on the track “All the Way,” which has become the Texas rapper’s most successful song to date, reaching number 4 on the Hot 100. Additionally, Snoop released “Gettin’ Gone” featuring Nashville sensation.

The world might require a rural adaptation of ”
Smack That
