BBQCHICKENROBOT: Somalia's K'Naan Brings Real Hip Hop!

Somalia's K'Naan Brings Real Hip Hop!

Friday, January 30, 2009

In the case you haven't been watching BET or reading any popular mags, we'd like to introduce to you K'Naan, one of the illest hip hop artists and I mean real hip hop, you know the kind that has real dope beats and conscious lyrics. K'naan is from the war torn streets of Somalia and his poetics definitely speak on it. He's come a long way and still has lots of room to grow. K’Naan grabs samples and traditional to contemporary live instrumentation to make his unique sound. On his sophomore album, Troubadour, he gets help from respectables like Mos Def and Damian Marley. We hope K'Naan will continue to spread his lyrics and poems through these mainstream released albums. We got two early released tracks for you and also check out his video below for Dreamer.

Apparently he's making one for all his songs. They may not all go to TV but at least online.
