Konvict Muzik
Atlanta, Georgia

Konvict Muzik is a record label founded by R&B singer Akon in 2004.[2] Artists including T-Pain, Kat DeLuna, Mali Music, Red Café, Dolla, Ya Boy, and Costa Titch have signed to and released singles or albums by the label.[3][4] Heard at the beginning of many of the label's recordings, besides Akon's own production or songwriting contribution, is the sound of the clank of a jail cell, followed by Akon uttering "Konvict". In 2022, the label was rebranded into Konvict Kulture.[5] By 2011, Fotemah Mba was appointed Vice President of A&R for the label.[citation needed]

The label operated with another label founded by Akon in 2007,

Wizkid as representatives of the label in Africa.[6]

Background

Akon started his own label after the success of his 2004 debut album, Trouble.[citation needed]
