When I first saw the title of K’Naan‘s most recent single I thought to myself ‘Damn even K’Naan’s going at Rick Ross now?’ but obviously not. ”T.IA.” aka “This Is Africa” is what the ‘Dusty Foot Philosopher’ is all about, representing the continent to the fullest, holding down all of Africa. Check out the video for “T.IA.” directed by Nabil. His album Troubadour is in stores now.
