K'NAAN

Good people,

I have (thx Amir) just discovered K’naan. He’s a young rapper from the school of conscience hip hop. K’naan is Muslim and has a compelling story. He comes from a family of artists and intellectuals and was on the last plane out of Mogadishu before it burned to the ground. K’naan landed in Harlem, went North and settled w fam in Toronto. He was a teen and spoke no English so hip hop became his translator.

He’s evolved into a prophetic and thoughtful artist giving commentary on his life and experiences through hip hop. He’s being called the Bob Marley of our generation.

His latest album “troubadour” launched today and features K’naan along w Mos Def, Chubb Rock, Adam Levine etc.

Bst,
S~
