K’naan

was great in the Gobi Tent, even if he started at 4:35 p.m. Sunday with the audience somewhat sluggish from the heat. The Somalian born hip-hop artist got the crowd to dance along to songs like “T.I.A.” and “ABCs” despite not having Chubb Rock (who might be best known for “Treat em Right” for all you old hip-hop heads like me) on the latter.

Lately, K’naan has been known for giving another viewpoint about Somali piracy. Check it out here if you’re interested (and no I didn’t hear him mention any of this but I could only stay for four songs) as it’s educational.
