International superstar Akon is planning to release an all-reggae CD after wrapping up his upcoming album Stadium.

This idea was said to have been sparked after his January visit to the island where he hangout with the Marley brothers, Damian, Julian and Stephen at the Tuff Gong studio in St Andrew.

In an article on Billboard.com, Akon said that it was an honour to be in the environment and be inspired by it. He also hinted to Billboard.com that there may be a collaborative effort from the Marleys for the project.

Akon has recently worked with Mavado on his single Survivor.

The 'little station that could' got all media houses in Jamaica to stand up and take note.
