Alright, so seeing as how 97% of Rap Talk is about the same shit, I thought I'd start introducing some good talent to those who are willing to take the time to listen. [Key word being 'willing'. If you're just going to bitch, then leave the thread]

First off, here's K'Naan.

Now, I'm not sure how many of you have heard of him, so just in case, here's some background info.

He was born in Africa underneath the rule of rebel soldiers in Somalia. Originally realeased his album, the Dusty Foot Philosopher, in '06, but it was an import and somehow went overlooked. He also went on tour with Mos Def, Talib, & Jean Grae. He has a unique style as far as his flow, but his voice is reminiscent of an early Eminem on certain songs while stylistically, he can be compared to fellow Canadian, K-OS.

Here's his album, "The Dusty Foot Philosopher"

I HIGHLY suggest checking him out. Neg me if you don't like him.

Here's a review of the album:

K'naan "The Dusty Foot Philosopher" Review, Hip-Hop Rap Music CD Album

He's been featured with Damian Marley, Dead Prez, and others.

Here's a video for a song off of The Dusty Foot Philosopher, called "Strugglin".

YouTube - K'Naan - "Strugglin'"

And here's K'naan with Dead Prez in "'Til We Get There".

I tried looking for a working link, but I couldn't find shit.

Hopefully, someone can upload it. I borrowed it from a friend, but I never ripped it onto my comp.

But anyways, check out K'naan. You shouldn't be disappointed. If you guys end up finding this helpful, I'll try to do more on talented, un-noticed cats.

Enjoy.

Here's a track where he sounds ALOT like Eminem. But its a catchy ass song. The chorus was in my head for a while.
