Singer/producer Akon knows a thing or two about making a dance hit, but apparently he's not the only hip-hopper stepping into the arena. In a recent interview with the Associated Press, Akon, who signed dance-pop sensation Lady Gaga, revealed that rap legend Dr. Dre plans on releasing a dance record of his own.
"You got some straight, hardcore hip-hop guys actually moving into the dance realm," Akon explained. "That's shocking, when you got someone like Dr. Dre about to do a dance record. That's my point. That's crazy. But, in a way, it's so exciting for me because that just shows our industry is so open-minded to everything. And believe it or not, with that open-mindedness, we can create magic."
