I love the K'naan video/track. I'd meant to say how much I like Take A Minute, too. I like the articulateness of it, and the melodic-ness. I'll definitely find the album. I'm so excited about canadian hip hop, all of a sudden. And I just read about the k-os/k'naan mini-feud. It's so funny when you discover whole new worlds and it turns out they're all connected somehow. And K'naan worked with Mos Def?
Oh you HAVE to hear Mos Def and K'Naan on America, also featuring Charli 2na, backpacker hip-hop extravaganza! Funny to hear about k-os and k'naan feuding, surely there are enough Ks for the both of them...

And Manchester's finest, MC Buzz B, last seen on some of Lionrock's records, but now sadly, seemingly disappeared. Pure poetry, this one, with a lovely Bruce Hornsby (of all things!)sample.
