Somalia-raised, Toronto-based rapper K'naan thinks like Bob Marley, flows like Eminem and mixes African music with conscious hip-hop, unabashed pop and even metal. The results are usually catchy and interesting: On "ABC's," K'naan contrasts North American gangster fantasies with his war-torn childhood, trading verses with old-school MC Chubb Rock, and then rocks out with Metallica guitarist Kirk Hammett on "If Rap Gets Jealous." Over the timely upbeat funk of "Dreamer," he sees the utopia of John Lennon's "Imagine" through a hip-hop lens: Troubadour is K'naan's unique vision made real. -Rollingstone.com
