'''Konvict Muzik ''' is a [[record label]] founded by Melvin Brown and R&B singer [[Akon]].<ref>[http://www.ballerstatus.com/article/features/2007/09/3137/ Melvin Brown: Konvict Business] {{wayback|url=http://www.ballerstatus.com/article/features/2007/09/3137/ |date=20081008002720 }}</ref> [[Fotemah Mba]] held the executive position of Vice President of A&R for the label. Other than Akon, popular artists such as [[T-Pain]], [[Ya Boy]], [[Kat DeLuna]], [[American Yard]] and [[French Montana]] have signed in the past or are still present on the label. At the beginning of most Konvict Muzik artists' songs there is the sound of the clank of a jail cell, followed by Akon uttering "Konvict". Akon started his own label after the success of his debut album. T-Pain released three albums under the label, two of them achieving gold status.{{Citation needed|date=June 2011}} Akon has signed a deal with [[Columbia Records]] and [[Epic Records]] for new artists signed to Konvict.{{Citation needed|date=June 2011}}

Akon has signed Nigerian artistes: [[P-Square]], [[Tuface]], and [[Wizkid (musician)|Wizkid]] as representatives of his record label Konvict Muzik in Africa. He revealed this in December 2011 in Lagos at the unveiling of Cintron energy drink, which took place in footballer Jay Jay Okocha's club Number 10.<ref name="africanartists">[http://www.cp-africa.com/2011/12/19/akon-signs-2face-wizkid-and-psquare-to-konvict-musik Akon signs 2face, Wizkid and P-Square as Konvict Musik Representatives]</ref>
