Mario sat down with MTV News today to discuss his next album, Go!, which is due for a July 17 drop.

The singer secured himself a nice little list of collaborators for the disc; as he explained that Timbaland, Akon, The Neptunes, Mr. Collipark, Dre & Vidal and others will all contribute.

Mario spoke on working with Akon on the track, "Do Right."
"I kind of went in and told Akon about a lot of the personal things I experienced. I didn't want to do a club record or like a fun record. I wanted to do a more serious record that would cater to some of the people who may have experienced what I have."

Things can be read here.

 

I know it's not even a funny observation that Akon is everywhere at this point, but just from a physical-limits-of-the-space-time-continuum angle: how the hell is he everywhere?

 

Also: Not exactly on the subject, but does J Records have the most tasteful artist pages on MySpace? You hang out with the virtual G-Unit enough and the finer things in life start to matter.
