MMIM has a treat for you this week. Check out Colby O'Donis and R.City as our featured Artists to Watch. Both of these groups are currently under the direction of Akon. Let MMIM know what you think.
19-year-old COLBY O'DONIS is set to take the music world by storm. Singer, songwriter, producer, and all-around entertainer, COLBY's first single "What You Got" (w/Akon) features Pop, R&B;, and Latin flavors. The single is already generating anticipation for COLBY's debut album to be released on Akon's KonLive label.

Brothers R. City bring their "Caribbean spiced Hip-Hop" to their mixtape "The Black Beatles". Hailing from the Caribbean, this dynamic duo got their big break after moving to Atlanta. They have a unique sound where their "islander accents become one with rap." Their debut album "Wake the Neighbors" is due later this year.
