[VIDEO] k'naan: the story of country, god, or the girl

i have yet to wax poetic about this album, as i have about previous k'naan albums, singles, collaborations, etc. i think i'm still trying to wrap my mind around it. but i'm digging this mini documentary about his process and his journey. it's especially interesting that k'naan's trip to somalia resulted in a change in his songwriting that is more reflective, inward-looking and is 'the most intimate music' he's made to date.

here is the video for hurt me tomorrow.

ghanaian-canadian artist kae sun is back with ship and the globe, the first video from his forthcoming album afriye.

the video is beautifully shot and the track showcases kae sun's growth as an artist. i'm really looking forward to hearing the rest of the album.

soul food: one day soon ~ ian kamau

i love ian kamau. but this has already been made abundantly clear. after releasing EPs and some pretty amazing mixtapes, he's released his first full-length LP. and it sounds as dope as i expected it to be. if not doper. yes...'doper' is a word.
