Don't you love it when two of your favorite genres collide? So do I. But to be quite honest, I was a bit nervous when I saw that K'Naan was covering the man, the myth, the legend. I imagined some terrible dance album that ruined the simplicity of the music.

Turns out, this mixtape only made me appreciate K'Naan more. I loved "Troubador" and "Dusty Foot Philosopher", and I always enjoy K'Naan's humble and philisophic view towards his art. Not sure how much of this is J. Period's work, but the vibe is great.
