Akons third solo album under Konvict Muzik / Universal Motown, entitled Freedom, has been making some buzz on the internet lately. The album has been in the lab for over a year now and is ready for its final debut. Micheal Jackson was suppose to appear on the album for a song called "Hold My Hand", however that specific song was leaked onto the internet last month and has since been removed from the official tracklisting. Instead, it has made room for a dance track that features Kardinal Offishal (Kon Live/Geffen) & Colby O'Donis (Kon Live/Geffen). The song, entitled "Beautiful", was produced by none other than Akon and co-produced by Jaylien 2010. The song is bound to make a radio hit, and should create some more added buzz to his upcoming album which drops in retail stores on December 1st 2008.
