According to Eurweb, Missy Elliott, the Black Eyed Peas' will.i.am and Timbaland are among the producers tapped to work on the debut solo album of Rozanda "Chilli" Thomas under her new deal with Akon's Konvict Muzik label. "This will be totally opposite from when she was with the multiplatinum group," Akon tells Billboard. "She's an incredible artist and I want people to reconnect with her."
Akon says he will produce half of Chilli's album, which is due to be released in mid-2007.

Akon is producing tracks for Stefani and became annoyed when she kept interrupting sessions to attend to Kingston. He says, "She brought her son into the studio and she would be in the booth, she's like, 'Hold on, I've got to check on the baby!' "I'm like, come on, you've got to get this done! "But I have 3 kids of my own, so I understand."(Source) |
