K’Naan – Gold in Timbuktu

Somalian born, Canadian raised rapper/poet/musician/singer K’Naan is one of those artists that over the past couple of years, I’ve consistently heard a lot of very good songs from yet for some reason, I’m still to hear something that will totally sell him to me. Here’s his latest very good song by the name “Gold In Timbuktu”, taken from his fifth album Country, God or the Girl, which drops October 16th.

To clarify what I said above, he’s got bags of talent and I can’t put my finger on what it is but I just feel there’s a little something, somewhere that does’t quite connect and is holding him back from greatness. Anyway, take a listen above and peep the Country, God or the Girl tracklist below, there are some very interesting features:
