K'naan,

I loved you since Dusty Foot Album, but you've changed. The new EP has two good tracks (Coming to America and Nothing to Lose). Those are the only two songs that are the old K'naan everyone loves. A true Somali, not a Nelly Fornutado. Grow out the afro again, go African, go Somalia, go K'naan Again.

Authors of One Do Something Good

Mark Miller’s One is a series about faith and beliefs. It is about our understanding of truth and how we are all connected. Every individual is part of this one earth.

With six issues published, there have been some amazing stories. The authors have shared emotionally personal details of their relationships and unexplained, almost miraculous, events. The Authors of One are as varied as our world…

Check it out guys, there's an exclusive K'NAAN playlist on Spotify up now! It has all of MORE BEAUTIFUL THAN SILENCE on it, a bonus remix of "Is Anybody Out There" with Nelly Furtado (lovesss it), and then a 20 track personal playlist from K'NAAN, himself. I'll definitely be jamming to this all day. You can check it…

Hey K'Naan,

The "Coming to America" lyric video premiered on Hip Hop DX today, check it out here.  

The track is ill, and in true K'NAAN fashion his music always has a great message and the originality we're usually missing from most…

Love the EP.  Need a clean copy so my daughter can listen with me!!!  Have the Troubadour clean copy.

I'm trying to create awareness about reaching out to conflict-affected children so I entered a contest on ONE.org that asked for a anti-poverty meme. I didn't know what a "meme" was, so I did a  little on google and found out that one way to do a "meme" is to have a powerful photo with a few words that are to the point. So I  decided to give it a try and guess what.... Only ten out of who knows how many thousands entered and mine was one of the winners! Your are welcomed to use it if you…
