K’naan hasn’t rested on his laurels since surprising the music industry in February with a top 40 debut for Troubadour. He’s been on tour throughout the year, opening for the likes of Snoop Dogg and playing several music festivals. This summer, he’s slated to appear on Matisyahu and Jason Mraz’s (!) bills, hit Northern California’s hippie-fied Harmony Festival, and reach a more traditional hip hop audience through the famous Rock the Bells series.
