I was so hype when I heard Akon was going to do a remix of Matisyahu’s “One Day”. What I didn’t realize was that it wasn’t going to be a remix, but Akon singing “with him”, still cool, but was hoping for something fresh and new. Maybe, Diwon or Balagan will do a remix of the epic ballad for the kids. Also, it is kinda funny for all the money they spent on getting Akon, they couldn’t even get him to say Matisyahu’s name right! – MYtisyahoo
