We’ve covered K’Naan since 2005, and I’m glad to see that not only has he grown into a capable MC, but his buzz has cemented top artist in 2009. Hot off the heels of his album Troubadour, the Somali/Canadian MC teams up with [...]
Live: K’Naan at the Kennedy Center
Photos by Lady Glock Photography
Even though K’Naan might not be a household name, you would never know it by the enormous crowd that gathered in the Kennedy Center last night. Millennium Stage, the free concert series that usually puts on cultural events for small crowds was not ready for this. And to be honest, I [...]

Video: K’naan feat. Chubb Rock – ABCs
Very dope video and song from Somalian rapper K’naan, whom we have profiled extensively on this site. His new album Troubadour drops on February 24th. Also, check out his interview on Hip-Hop Official.
VIDEO: K’Naan – Somalia
We’ve covered K’Naan pretty extensively here on The Couch Sessions for the past few years, and I’m glad that the dude is getting his much deserved shine. The Canadian/Somali MC’s newest album Troubadour drops next month and his newest track bearing the name of his mother country is rather timely considering the pirate situation going [...]

K’Naan – ABCs (feat Chubb Rock)
We’ve been profiling K’Naan since 2005, and I’m glad to announce that he is about to drop a star-studded sophomore album, entitled Troubadour, in January.
K’Naan is a Somalian immigrant who dropped The Dusty Foot Philosopher in 2005 to critical acclaim. The album, which detailed his struggles in war torn Somalia, [...]
FREE K’Naan Concert TONIGHT!!!
From POP
From the National Geographic Web site:”As a child growing up in war-torn Somalia, hip-hop artist K’NAAN saw more violence and tougher streets than any gangster rapper could imagine. Now, in North America, he has established himself as a voice for change, a peacemaker, and a cultural bridge between the developing world and the [...]

Review: Gorillaz – Plastic Beach
If it takes us a few listens to really get into the Gorillaz newest album. Can we blame ourselves?
We are forced fed music that is derivative of another. Pop music all sounds the same, with each artist essentially sounding like the one who came 3 months before them. When we hear something as creative and [...]
ALBUM REVIEW: Outputmessage – Autonomous
Washington, DC by way of Queens, NY electronic dance music producer Outputmessage is likely one of the more underrated EDM artists in the genre. The eight year veteran has received terrific acclaim both stateside and abroad for his musically dense but pop trending melodies awakening a sense of early 80s synth pop sounds. However, with [...]
Album Review: Sade – Soldier of Love
While not a masterpiece, in an era where the market has been deluged by a new female soul vanguard that angles increasingly towards pop, Sade remains regal, calm, collected and steadfast, and merely releases the standard bearer album to define the female expression in R & B for 2010.
Sade’s musical legacy lies in her ability [...]
ALBUM REVIEW:Massive Attack “Heligoland”
Massive Attack – Paradise Circus
[Audio clip: view full post to listen]
Tomorrow marks the official release date (U.S. and Canada) for Heligoland, the 5th proper studio album by Massive Attack.
Whereas the 2003 release 100th Window glistened with mechanical accuracy and disciplined minimal techno, Heligoland finds the Bristol duo returning to the dirtier, dubbed out sound of [...]
