    K'naan Blogs About Trendy Charity

    ​Is it cool if I call K'naan a genius? His nearly flawless Troubadour album released early this year demonstrated both razor-sharp lyrical skills and acute global consciousness: unlike other rappers who handle social issues with a transparent righteousness that indicates a total absence of liv ...

    Q&A with Matisyahu, Who Performs Tonight at The Moore

    Jonathan CunninghamThere was a time when Hasidic reggae singer, Matisyahu was viewed by some as a sort of a parody stuck between two worlds --one overly Jewish (Lubavitch to be exact), and one that was faux Jamaican. When he first came out in 2004, Matisyahu garnered a lot of attention for his regga ... More >>

    Saturday Suggestion to Seattle Music Promoters

    Please bring the Marley brothers back to Seattle soon. I've heard they were here a year ago (maybe a little longer) with K'naan. Well, K'naan's been here since then, so somebody, please reach out to the Ghetto Youth/Tuff Gong camp to bring Damian, Stephen (and hopefully even Julian and Ziggy) back ... More >>

    About These Somali Pirates...

    A lot has been reported over the past four to five days about Somali pirates. For a great number of Americans, news that Somali pirates, or that any form of pirates still existed was a shock. But with the recent seizure of a US Freighter late last week, and news that just this morning, two more fo ... More >>

    Rock The Bells Picks Vancouver over Seattle

    This morning, a good chunk of the Rock The Bells line-up was announced and there were a few notable surprises. To get the first one out of the way, there's no local performance.

    Free MP3--Lyricist Yze "Over Ya Shoulder"

    via myspaceA couple of weeks back, I caught an interesting quasi-hip hop performer I'd never heard of before opening for K'naan at Neumos. The artist's name is Lyricist Yze and she's an Australian native making music here in Seattle. She had a lot of good energy on stage (and off stage) but I do rem ... More >>

    Last Night: K'naan, Gabriel Teodros, and Yze at Neumos

    Last night, Neumos got a major boost of adrenaline via a full moon and a raucous hip-hop show. No disrespect to the power of a full moon, but if I had to say what force had the biggest effect on so many people in the audience going crazy (in a good way), I'd say it was the presence of K'naan in the ...

    K'naan Troubadour (A&M Octone) The UN projects that in 2009, a third of Somalia's total population will be dependent on humanitarian aid--this, in a country that has no central government, where the most viable economic vocation is piracy.

    Here's one of the biggest hip-hop shows that I'm looking forward to in the near future. Somalian MC, K'naan, who grew up in Mogadishu and moved to Toronto as a teenager, has always been on my radar of rap artists to watch from Canada with a more powerful message than those here in the U.S. I didn't ...
