Konvict Muzik is a record label founded by Melvin Brown and R&B singer Akon.[1] Other than Akon, there are popular artists such as T-Pain, Kardinal Offishall, Ya Boy, Kat DeLuna, American Yard, Brick & Lace, French Montana, Jeffree Star and Qwes Kross signed to the label. At the beginning of most Konvict Muzik artists' songs there is the sound of the clank of a jail cell, followed by Akon uttering "Konvict". Akon started his own label after the success of his debut album. T-Pain released three albums under the label, two of them achieving gold status.[citation needed] Akon recently[when?] signed a deal with Columbia Records and Epic Records for new artists signed to Konvict.[citation needed]
