'WHAT'S LOVE?' & 'CERTIFIED' READY TO CLIMB THE CHARTS
Akon & Shaggy on set of the 'What's Love?' video shoot with director Hype Williams.
Shaggy’s Intoxication blasted onto the Billboard Reggae Chart at #1 when it hit shelves in November, and now it’s heating up as he teams up with hip-hop mastermind Akon on his next single. The two swapped sound booths for studios at the recent video shoot in Miami’s famed South Beach.
Shaggy unleashes all the elements his fans expect on “What’s Love” - a proven and familiar formula that sees his macho hardcore chatting, fused with Akon’s flowing R&B hooks, riding a catchy hip-hop beat.
Shaggy hauled in the genius of Hype Williams to bring this track to life, and it will hit airwaves within the next few days.
Keep it locked for the video!!
Akon has also recently finished wrapping up at the Glasses Malone video shoot for the single 'Certified' which is gettin crazy spins out in the West Coast. Request that in your area!!! Check out some shots from the shoot. Shouts to kukuruz for the pics.

BILLBOARD NAMES AKON 2007 ARTIST OF THE YEAR
You see that tracklist below... BOSS
The singer's "Konvicted" album (Konvict/Upfront/SRC/Universal Motown/UMRG), released in November 2006, may not have reached No. 1 on the Billboard 200, but its sturdy performance aided Akon's rise to the top of the pop heap.
"Konvicted" spent its first 30 weeks lodged in the top 30 of the Billboard 200 after its bow at No. 2. While Akon ends the year at No. 1 on the Top Artists recap, "Konvicted" ranks just behind Daughtry's self-titled album at the peak of the Top Billboard 200 tally.
Akon is also a heavyweight on the year-end Billboard Hot 100 Songs recap, where he earns six rungs on the tally: as a guest on Gwen Stefani's "The Sweet Escape" (No. 3), T-Pain's "Bartender" (No. 33) and Bone Thugs-N-Harmony's "I Tried" (No. 58), and with three of his own songs: "I Wanna Love You" (No. 8, featuring Snoop Dogg), "Don't Matter" (No. 11) and "Smack That" (No. 15, featuring Eminem).
It's a feat for one artist to place three singles on the year-end Hot 100 chart. It's another ballgame entirely when you can snag four (Timbaland), six (Akon) or seven (Timberlake and T-Pain). All told, if we add up the number of singles those four men racked up on the Hot 100 Songs recap, they own a whopping 21 titles, including hits with shared credit.

THREE HURT IN AKON STAGE COLLAPSE
Workers building the set for the outdoor show at Emory University in Atlanta were taken to hospital after a canopy fell on top of them.
Akon, whose hits include Don't Matter and Smack That, then called off the gig, scheduled for Thursday night.
University spokeswoman Nancy Seideman said she did not know the extent of the victims' injuries.
Akon rose to fame following the release of his single Locked Up, from his 2003 debut album Trouble.
His second album, Konvicted, was released last year and earned him a Grammy award nomination for Smack That.

'THRILLER' PLANS
The King of Pop will release a 25th-anniversary edition of Thriller, including four tracks remixed by Akon, Kanye West and Will.I.Am. The songs are "Billie Jean," "The Girl Is Mine," "Wanna Be Starting Something" and "Pretty Young Thing."
The whole "Thriller" project is an attempt to resurrect Jackson’s moribund career at a time when he continues to be in financial peril. This column confirmed on Tuesday that Jackson is in hot water again. He owes a $5 million interest payment to Fortress Trust, the publicly traded hedge fund that bought his $272 million loan from Bank of America in April 2005. The payment is due on Oct. 31.

"I'LL STILL KILL" VIDEO DROPPING SOON
BAYONNE, New Jersey
"I'll Still Kill" is one of the most aggressive records from Curtis, and the G-Unit bossman barks at anyone having issues with the content.
"The concept of the song was saying, 'I don't want to , but I will if I have to," he said. "That would be justifiable, wouldn't it?"
"It's pretty hectic, but I have great relationship with both guys," said the clip's director Jesse Terrero, who helmed 50's Reebok ad campaign with Manny Ramirez in addition to many G-Unit videos, including "Wanksta" and "Candy Shop." "This is big — it's like 'Bourne Supremacy meets 'Unleashed.' I threw out an idea and enjoyed it."
In the video, 50 has to handle himself in a world of trained killers.
"It's not an environment for pretty women," Akon said while kicking around a soccer ball. "This is on some assassination-type shit."
Akon also explained that he was just there to perform; the plot is all 50 Cent. 50 had high praise for his collaborator's contributions to the song.
"This collaboration, it's perfect," he said. " tones, vocally what he did on the chorus and the last portion of the record, it's great."

AKON READY TO 'SHAKE THE WORLD UP' WITH NEW CHART TOPPERS
Akon's melodic thuggin' on the airwaves has helped turn records by superstars like Gwen Stefani into harmonic hits.
Now the singer is moving into the realm of three of music's most iconic legends: Madonna, Whitney Houston and Michael Jackson.
"Ooh, don't even say his name twice," 'Kon joked recently in Miami, referring to Jackson. "I'm not supposed to be talking about this!"
Although he wouldn't disclose the specifics of his collaboration or collaborations with Jackson fearing the cold, swift sting of a slap from the King of Pop's signature gloved hand (or, at least, legal action), he did let MTV News in on the experience.
"He's incredible," 'Kon testified of M.J. "He's a genius. Just to be in the same room [with him], I felt everything I wanted to accomplish in life has been achieved. That aura ... that's how incredible that aura is. We about to shake the world up, man. You know how you be with somebody and you can't even explain [the feeling]? I used to sit and think, 'How does somebody sell so many records and dominate a whole business genre, to a point [where] nobody can't be a part of that without associating with you?' The way he thinks ... some artists think regional, some think national, I was thinking international. He thinks planets. It's on another level."
While 'Kon hasn't been in the studio with Madonna yet, he said he expects to "shock the world" with her Madge-esty before the end of the year.
He did say that the tracks he records with Whitney Houston will reflect her real, personal life.
"I'm starting on Whitney's project," he said. "She's the truth. She's undeniable. She's got so much to think about, sing about. This album is going to be one of the biggest albums she decided to put out. She has so much energy, so much happiness and sadness to incorporate into the album. Her voice is strong enough to deliver any message she wants to sing to the world. It's outta here."
However, it will be a while before we see another album from Akon himself — he estimates about 18 months. Plans call for three more singles to be released from his multiplatinum Konvicted LP.
The hitmaker said he does have a clear vision for the album: He wants it to be the soundtrack to a film he is spearheading inspired by the 2006 documentary "Cocaine Cowboys".
"It's the biggest movie in history," he said. "You thought 'Scarface' was crazy, this movie is a true-life story based on Jon Roberts. He was the leading pilot for the Medellin Cartel [Colombian drug traffickers]. Everything about it is real except the characters. It's about the war on drugs."
