The Smile Jamaica Africa Unite concert was some months back but its still with me. I’ve been listening to some of the new music I was exposed to at the show and I’m very glad I went. I’m most impressed with K’naan, the Dustyfoot philosopher from Mogadishu, Somalia in the Horn of Africa. I have no doubts you’ll hear lots more from this young man. He’s got something to say and we should all take an hour an listen to his new album at least once.
K’naan offers some of the most original new music I’ve heard in a long time. His music is powerful, his beats are infectious and will have you bumping along in no time. His lyrics are raw and untamed and songs like “Whats Hardcore?”, “If Rap Gets Jealous” and “My Old Home” deliver what hardcore rap has not been able to in over a decade. A real hardcore life experience. Something in his lyrics rings true and you can tell that he’s lived a truly hardcore life. Songs like “Strugglin” and “Smile” were written by someone who has seen the bad side of life and lived through it. Everyone should smile when they’re bleeding! I think my favorite tune may be “I Was Stabbed by Satan”. You’ll have to listen to it to understand it but other songs like “Soobax”, “Hoobalee” and “The African Way” offer an awesome blend of African music and American hip hop that everyone should appreciate.
This is one of the few new releases that I can honestly say I enjoy from beginning to end. The CD flows well and although the message is harsh at times so can life be and there is a constant upbeat tempo to the music that invigorates. It’s inspirational music for me. I have no doubt we were all Stabbed by Satan
If you have never had he chance to listen to K’naan then I suggest you buy the CD today because its better played from beginning to end.
