K'Naan
Take a minute for K'Naan
& his tribute to African heroes
The most memorable song in 2010, as far as we are concerned, was by an African Hip-hop star. K’Naan went from strength to uber-strength last year performing on Letterman, touring with Damien Marley and of course aligning himself with the Coca-Cola brand via Wavin' Flag, the original of which he most certainly did not write with Coca Cola in mind.
And now we move from the stadium-sized motivational anthem-singing K’naan and to the more quietly introspective and overtly socio-political K’Naan that we know and love with this video for Take a Minute. We definitely dig this! Londoners, see if you recognise your hood in the clip.
