rise-up-clean-mavado-feat-akon
The We The Best crew continues to feed the streets today with Mavado’s new single “Rise Up” featuring Akon & Rick Ross. This is the perfect track to ride around the city with your windows down in the summer time, as Akon delivers a very strong hook and Rozay does his thing with his verse.

Top 10 Videos Of The Week (March 24, 2013)
It was the invasion of R&B this week, as almost half our our Top 10 belongs to the genre. More interestingly, it’s spawned a little competition from two of them, making the Internet pit Justin Timberlake against Robin Thicke for best visual.
The rest of our videos remain to some rap heavyweights, with 2 Chainz getting two looks, much like director Topshelf Junior (for videos from different genres too).
Unfortunately, this means Alternative videos got snubbed.
Peep the Top 10 after the jump.

Akon – Dirty Work (feat. Wiz Khalifa)
Considering Akon made an appearance on Wiz Khalifa’s O.N.I.F.C. album, it was only logical for him to return the favor on one of Konvict’s own tracks. Today, Akon released a new track featuring the TGOD capo, which we can assume will be from Stadium.
It’s been a minute since Akon dropped some new material, so this radio-ready single should hold people over for a while, until details from his new album surface.

Akon – Ain’t Sayin’ Nothin’
Producer: Black Lite
Mixtape: Konkrete Jungle
Label: Konvict Muzik
Akon drops off a brand new street banger “Ain’t Sayin’ Nothin” from his upcoming project Konkrete Jungle set to drop in July. Sounds like Akon is back on his shit, and this is exactly what we been waiting for from the homey. Hopefully the rest of the track from Konkrete Jungle match this type of music and we see Akon fully back to what we need him to be.

Ca$h Out – Cashin’ Out (Remix) (feat. Akon, Young Jeezy, Fabolous & Yo Gotti)
Ca$h Out “Cashin’ Out” was a big break out hit for the boy so it was only right he went big with the remix. The line up consists of Akon, Young Jeezy, Fabolous & Yo Gotti as they all go for the money on this remix. Shouts out to DJ Spinz doing his thing on the production credits this year.

French Montana returns with yet another joint mixtape but this time he is joined by Three 6 Mafia’s own Juicy J and Project Pat for that Cocaine Mafia.
