k'naan is a dreamer

if you don't know who k'naan is, that's fine. not a lot of people do. but consider yourself warned. this dude is going to be making big moves in hip hop in 2009. here's a video for what could be his next single. his 2009 album is set to come out later this month entitled troubadour.

the muslim somalian artist is a mixture of hip hop, and it's hard to describe it, but think of bob marley meeting hip-hop embedded with a sense of "urgent music with a message."

his name k'naan means "traveler."

here's his first video and track "dreamer" for his upcoming album.
