Chuck Dizzle sits down Live & Direct with global icon Akon and rising rap duo Sheesh, signed to his newly rebranded label Konvict Kulture. In this raw and inspiring conversation, Akon breaks down why he believes Sheesh represents the next wave of 360° talent—rappers, producers, performers—and how their bond as blood brothers adds a powerful dynamic to the music. From serving time together to making hit records, LNS and Big Ski talk about their journey from Chicago to Indiana to Atlanta and now to the world stage. They open up about their project Air Mattress Vol. 1, including the story behind their viral single “Ghetto Livin” (produced by LNS and sampling one of Akon’s classics), their disciplined mixtape rollout every other month, and what it means to make music that their mama gets emotional listening to. Akon shares gems on artist development, the power of first instincts, and how education and execution are key to longevity in today’s music game.
