Introducing K'naan

The World Cup is over and as someone said to me at a BBQ during the finals, "now America can stop pretending that we like soccer." If you were distracted by the soulful anthem before the games, then you were listening to "Wavin Flag" by K'naan (feat. Will.i.am).

Who is K'naan? He's a Somalian-Canadian rapper that sings with his conscious. Like Bob Marley, his lyrical poetry expresses struggle and redemption. Except K'naan brings a contemporary beat and sounds better than most current artists in his genre. This is the kind of rap I want listen to.  Enjoy the music of the summer!
