Konvict Muzik
Konvict Muzik is a record label founded by R&B singer Akon in 2004. Other than Akon, artists including T-Pain, Kat DeLuna, Mali Music, Red Café, Dolla, Ya Boy, and Costa Titch have signed to the label during their careers. 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. Fotemah Mba held the executive position of Vice President of A&R for the label.
