Akon:
Konvict Kulture is pretty much what we’re at now, I realized that Konvict Music was more than just music; it really became culturalized globally so we changed the name from Konvict Music to now Konvict Kulture.

We also linked up with Sammy Wilk, who made available autograph merch and chances for meet-and-greets.
