Release Notes: ░██▓
██▒
At age 9, K'NAAN was doing what most American kids were ██░
doing. He was hanging out on his neighborhood street corner, ██
MC'ing for his friends, dropping Nas and Rakim verses, ██
dreaming of a day when he would posses the lyrical skills ██
and the rhythmic flow of his Hip Hop hero's. ██
██
K'NAAN, however was very different from those American kids. ██
In fact, he wasn't even an American kid at all, he was an ██
African; and he wasn't on the streets of New York or Los ██
Angeles or Detroit, he was on the other side of the world on ██
the dusty streets of Mogadishu Somali. And although he was ██
rappin' verses from Nas and Rakim and all the other great ██
American MC's with an almost erie attention to detail and ██
pronunciation, he could not speak English. ██
██
As hip-hop passes the quarter century mark, it has evolved ██
in ways no one could have imagined. It has gone from ██
under-ground to mainstream, from black to multi- racial, ██
from American to international. It has reached the very ██
furthest corners of the world and planted its seeds in the ██
souls of kids from every country. K'NAAN is a child of that ██
generation, the first generation of true hip-hop children ██
who have grown out of a very foreign soil. ██
██
With his unique voice but still truly authentic style, ██
K'NAAN brings an enormous dose of realness and urgency to ██
the hip-hop world in a time when people are desperate for ██
it. From a personal and cultural history rooted in poetry ██
(being the grandson of one of Somalia's most famous poets ), ██
K'NAAN widens the traditional hip hop perspective, from ██
ghetto's to slums, from drug dealers to war lords, from 9mm ██
and eagle 440's to AK's and rocket propelled grenades. ██
"Where I'm from there are no police or fire fighters, we ██
start riot's by burning car tires." from K'NAAN's song ██
entitled "What's Hardcore". ██
██
Leaving Somalia at the age of thirteen on what turned out to ██
be the very last commercial flight to ever do so, amidst a ██
crumbling society and the end to this day of any form of ██
central government, K'NAAN carried with him a very strong ██
sense of purpose. It is this sense of purpose as well as his ██
amazing lyrical gift, which has made him a beacon for other ██
artists as well as those dedicated to global change. ██
██
In 2001 after gaining notoriety as a skilled mc and spoken ██
word poet, K'NAAN was invited to Geneva to perform a spoken ██
word piece at the 2001 50th anniversary of the UN Commission ██
for Refugee's. In front of some of the biggest suits in the ██
world, K'NAAN brought the house down with his politically ██
charged poem, K'NAAN explains, "I basically called out the ██
UN for its failed relief mission in Somalia" The audience ██
was so moved by the piece that they gave K'NAAN a standing ██
ovation and African superstar Youssou N'Dour who was also in ██
attendance loved the performance so much that he invited ██
K'NAAN to Senegal to record with him. ██
██
Similarly, in Toronto in 2002 while recording a verse for a ██
War Child benefit track entitled "Keep the Beat K'NAAN's ██
unique flow caught the attention of artist/producer Jarvis ██
Church, one half of the Grammy award winning production team ██
Track and Field (Nelly Furtado). From there began a creative ██
partnership that would lead to the creation of K'NAAN's' ██
first full length album "The Dusty Foot Philosopher." ██
██
K'NAAN creates urgent "music with a message" because his ██
whole existence depends on it. "Soobax" produced by Track n ██
Field is percussion-fuelled protest music at its finest. ██
It's more than a song, it's something people raise arms ██
for," explains K'NAAN "The term Soobax actually means to ██
"come out" so when I recorded that in the studio, I imagined ██
myself being in front of gun men, and I'm communicating ██
directly to them". He adds: "Sixty-year-old women in Canada ██
jam to that song because it's saying things they couldn't ██
say. When my brother heard the song he said that it's the ██
first song he'd heard of mine that could get me killed."" ██
██
"Hardcore", is a truthful reflection, a comparison track for ██
those MC's who believe that they, their circumstances or ██
themselves to be Hardcore. "Strugglin" is tracks for those ██
who struggle and find themselves pushed to the brink yet at ██
that point transform that struggle into power and the ██
ability to overcome. The African Way" utilizes superb ██
backing music supplied from a group of nomadic musicians ██
K'NAAN ran into and recorded in a restaurant in Mombassa, ██
Kenya. "Wash It Down" is another must-hear track made ██
entirely out of the sounds of crashing water, done by the ██
"forces of nature". All and all the LP is a break out from ██
the braggadocio world of Hip Hop ██
██
"One of those homeless kids in the video that was dancing ██
actually hid his machete in his coat pocket when he heard my ██
music. He then started to dance and put his machete away ██
under the tree. That's why my long term goal is to use ██
whatever fame I get to help change the situation in my ██
region...not to own a clothing line like some of my rap ██
peers". ██
██
By most accounts, The Dusty Foot Philosopher is well on his ██
way. ██
