Akon Signs Ya Boy To Konvict Music

    Konvict Music has a growing roster in many genres. Akon‘s label includes Lady Gaga, Kardinal Offishall and Colby O’Donis. This week it was announced that the Interscope-based outfit will add a rapper to the mix, in San Franscisco’s Ya Boy.

    The 26 year-old was previously under the wing of hometown hero (and cousin) San Quinn, with whom he released his 2005 debut Rookie Of The Year. The SMC Records/Done Deal Entertainment project featured Messy Marv, E-40, Turf Talk as well as Quinn. In the five years since, Ya Boy has worked with Game and even appeared on Kevin Federline’s 2006 album Playing With Fire. Check his music here.

    There is no word on when Ya Boy’s Konvict Music will be released, or information as to a title or guests, but the rapper, via his Twitter page, alluded to a 2010 release.

    In related news, Ya Boy is confirmed to appear in Reservoir Dogs’ star Michael Madsen’s upcoming film The Trophy.

      1. wow get off his dick and jump on k feds. he should of signed k fed , that boys got straight fire. can spit bars for days, ive seen him freestyle at a show in vegas. he got the crowd so hype, dude gets a bad rep, but he is a great lyricist.

    3. About time somebody picked him up…. kinda surprised it was with Konvict… but fuck it. Ya Boy goes hard, all his mixtapes have been on point the past 3 years. lets see what he can do on a major label, be interested to see what direction he goes. pretty versatile, got club shit and street shit, pulls them both off pretty well.

      1. Co-sign.

        “If you joke like DeRay My heat like D-Wade. Shots to his face
        make em sing like T-Pain”

      2. dj donny your a fuckin cock him and the game get along AND RECORD SONGS TOGETHER u fucking mug tell you what my son u must be one broke ass fucking nigga cause u on here hatin whils ur probley in ya grannies house getting you fuckin pants washed BIATCHHHHHHHH

    10. nigga been killin it. this nigga akon making big moves with this gaga chick and now yb. that tik tok bitch needs to get off gagas jock. some dude wit dreads gon come out soundin like wayne cuz he going away?

    11. This is the best news ive read in the longest time. Since way back last year when news was popping up for Eminem’s relapse. I’ve been a fan of ya boy since one of his first mixtapes, chapter 1: the rise (classic) back in 07, and i’ve been following him ever since. I remember hearing him signing to blackwall street but idk what happened with that, i guess he wanted his own label, precise gang, and just be independent.

      I really hope Ya Boy blows up, he’s an amazing artist. And with akon on them hooks, it’s about to be crazy. Good shit YB. Can’t wait for fix 2 and the new album.

    12. Hi! Is it weird that I am 23 and still a virgin?
      I would like to invite you to join my circle of friends on
      www-Black-White-Date-com . My username is “looking4love”.
      Give me your comments on my photos. I’m waiting 4 u.

      1. bitch u a virgin cause no1 cud break ur hymen, get it surgically removed u slut, then we gets to the penetration, oo la la

    13. we the best like khaled the fat cunt said except khaled the fat cunt aint down with us
      fuk his fat ass

      akon is a pussy
      t pain is even bigger twat
      fuk sway he a lame
      gaga is gd but akon need to let her go cause he fukin her up
      kardinal is crap he sucks pussy at old peoples home

      konvict music is trash

      ya boy is a twat he gonna have his career ended quick by souljah boy

      fuk akon cause he wack, his voice is whinny n shit n his hooks have become repetitive

      his albums always flop, hes a wanka

      his wife a dumbass for stickin with him after he cheats so much
      divorse the cunt for his millions

      suge knight owns akon dnt 4get in the streets

      akons too shook
      thats y he pays suge knight money

      1. You dont know what u talkn bout Ya Boy cool wit Game and hell na soulja boy aint gon end his career did u see what he did wit soulja boys crank that, he murdered that shit like every track! “How niggaz makin superman songs and callin it rap, well im at home writin anthems loading shells in a gat” -Ya Boy

      2. doood. Yew Gots ta be an English prikk….. your entire post was dismisssed with the Souljaboy comment. hahhaha freal mayyne?

      3. why you hate on rappers so much? are you a music critic or just a mad little kid?

        suge knight got ktfo’d anyway

      4. thatz some good stuff…u off it kid! 2 funny but why did you mean sug owns akon? did I miss something in hiphop and no one told the mayor? lol & take it easy on Ya boy you know he aint no punk that kid spitz fire… beside I heard he was still worken with the big man!

      5. dj donny i cant believe u said ya boy’s career was going to be ended by soulja boys…..ya boy has the lyrical talent to make it big he can easily put thrown up in the top ten as a true mc. if u listen to the depth of his lyrics he is very very gifted in what he does. soulja boy is trash that makes club hits every 3 years.

      6. thats why ur fake ass isnt signed fuckin hater its about the music not nothing else u sad fuck get a life u fuckin prick

    14. Now that he’s signed…. he’s gunna fuckin blow up…….but konvict??? i expected interscope or aftermath…..

      1. man he wouldnt get on aftermath or interscope as interscope runs aftermath plus interscope turned him down. if u listen to the song “i got the power” it states i almost got depressed that interscope didnt sign me”

    15. Akon never does shit for the artists he signs. He screwed Flipsyde and several others over big time. Colby is the only artist he has ever spent time on.

    16. fuck yeah my nigga doin his thang murderin the mixtapes now onto big shit. he gonna put jay-z and sum of these other lames in a graveyard drake better watch his step to ya boy got lyrics for days thanx to the cronic haze fuck legal shyt yall know crime pays

    17. Bout Time!!
