PAUL G FT. AKON



At age 18, the onetime professional skateboarder added the rap skill to his vocal repertoire and co-founded the first Angolan commercial rap group South Side Posse (SSP). After an eight year stint in the group Paul G. decided to leave the group and pursue his interest in singing and producing R&B music not just for Angola, but also for the rest of the world. He later launched Magic Fingaz Production, an independent production company that introduced R&B singer Bruna Tatiana to the world. While living in Washington DC from 2006 through to 2008, Paul G. under the guidance of H. Gil Ingles (one of the founding members of X-POSURE Entertainment) recorded Transition, his first solo album. The first single “Freaking Me Out” earned Paul G. a Kora Award nomination for Best African Artist in 2009, and eventually a Best Performance Award at the Kora Awards show in 2010. “Bang It” featuring Akon is the first single from his second album which was released earlier this year.
