I have always been into rap and I discovered K'naan not so long back and I love his music. It's great really. He is from Somalia and raps about pretty much his childhood in Mogadishu. He is also Muslim and references this from time to time.

He is really good if you haven't heard. BTW his song wavin flag is the official World Cup song I think

Ive been a fan of K'naan for years now (since his first album).

Personally I really vibe the fact that he is putting the plight of Somalia on the map. And he's a rapper thats against doing illicit drugs and alcohol (which is amazing considering he tours with Damian Marley).

You'd probably be a big fan of Lupe too. He's my favorite musician of all time and my biggest inspiration into my own musical adventures.

hey thanks, I will look into lupe. Are you a musician btw? What kind of music are you into most?

Ya I love K'naan to me he understands the heart of true hip hop. All the original hip hop existed to give voice to social injustice and other problems in the world and just give voice to anyone who really wanted to say something real. It's a really original music in that respect. But today hip hop isn't about crap! K'naan is the real thing!

Let me help you out on Lupe.

listen in this order:

Muhammad Walks
Hurt Me Soul
Kick Push
American Terrorist

Then listen to his whole first album Food & Liquor.

Youll be hooked for life. Trust me.

What do I make? Technically: Electro-HipHop-Musical. I'm releasing my first album by the end of summer.

I've heard Lupe Fiasco and K'naan have a distinct voice that you can identify them with. They sing good songs too.
