K'Naan


 Gangsta rap is just embarrassing these days, right?  Everyone's lookin' for that new thing, a return to the true rap of old - dope beats, meaningful rhymes and raw emotion.  We heard about K'naan earlier this year but it wasn't until we met Andrea that we actually LISTENED to homeboy...and he is FIRE.  K'naan's a Somalian-born rapper that's seen war, murder and struggle in his lifetime and uses these experiences to lay down some crazy knowledge on style-heads globally. Dude's already worked with Nelly Furtado, Damian Marley and Mos Def and is working on some new collabos for 2010! Check "America" ft. Mos Def for one sultry beat after the next (your hips will start moving by themselves...watch!), and "Wavin' Flag" for a feel good Akon-sounding track about struggles in Somalia.  K'naan's got style (rockin' fedoras always), fly tracks and one hell of a message...we told you Africa's back on the map! Listen to K'naan's latest album, Troubadour, and watch his videos below!
