Anakonda
''Anakonda'' is the final studio album by American rapper Akinyele. It was released in 2001 on Koch Records. ''Anakonda'' proved to be the least successful of Akinyele's albums, not making it to any of the ''Billboard'' charts.

''Entertainment Weekly'' thought that "the veteran Queens rapper again spits out the raunchiest raps north of Miami’s 2 Live Crew." ''USA Today'' listed ''Anakonda'' as the fifth worst R&B album of 2001, writing: "The explicit rapper's raunchy antics used to make you laugh or cringe. But at this point, there are no surprises left."
