Akon, Common & Others Perform For Kids In L.A. Who Did Community Service

Boost Mobile's RockCorps (BMRC) concert hit Los Angeles last Friday (June 20), bringing with it a ton of acts, who all did their part to give back to kids who volunteered for tickets.

For those not familiar with RockCrops, the organization takes to cities across the country a few times a year, and this time it was Los Angeles. They organize a huge concert with several a-list acts, and the only way you can gain entrance into the shows is to perform community service. To earn one ticket, each individual has to volunteer four hours of community service at a BMRC project.

At Friday's concert, the acts who gave kids a stage show for their hard work were Common, Three 6 Mafia, Flyleaf, Puddle of Mudd, and headliner Akon and his Konvict Muzik roster including Kardinal Offishall and Colby O'Donis.

All of the artists that performed were just as excited to be a part of the event, as the kids were to attend.

"It's an incredible opportunity to be able to give back," Akon told BallerStatus.com backstage. "I love the fact that the kids actually took the time to work together. It's been incredible, so I love it."

Denmark gets Hyphy for Akon!

Akon humbled himself and performed a free concert at Copenhagen, Denmark mall. He couldn't even finish his set before the 3,000 fans started going too dum, in the bad way. The screaming girls and iced out boys stormed the mall causing quite a clamor and dismay for the indoor mall. One of the main issues here wasn't that the bldg. could only support 1,000 people but the simple fact that Akon was performing at a mall. Its nice to see some of the music industries biggest stars doing pro bono work. I doubt well ever see Puff perfrom in a space that he doesnt already own, no offense.

During the riot people were nucking and bucking , throwing them bowls and doing the fool, slugging bottles can and other handheld items across the crowd and directly at each other. Several indiviuals were injured in this incident, Mall director Jens Geppel comments, “It was a free concert and we knew that many people would come, but there were a lot of people there, more than we had expected.” .
