Akon Is A Very Talented Songwriter To Work With. His Melodies, They're Just Insane. It's Funny, I Think About Him A Lot When I'm Doing My Melodies Because He's So Simple, And He's Just Been Great. He Keeps Me On My Feet, Very Grounded, But He Also Puts Me On A Silver Platter, Which Is Always Very Nice. So It's Been An Incredible Influence. It's Like Every Time You Work With Somebody That's Better That You Are, You Become Greater.
