[Akon] said he does have a clear vision for [his next] album: He wants it to be the soundtrack to a film he is spearheading inspired by the 2006 documentary “Cocaine Cowboys.”

“It’s the biggest movie in history,” he said. “You thought ‘Scarface’ was crazy, this movie is a true-life story based on Jon Roberts. He was the leading pilot for the Medellin Cartel [Colombian drug traffickers]. Everything about it is real except the characters. It’s about the war on drugs.”
