GUOI: K'Naan Album For Only 2 Bones

This brother brings a really different vibe to the hip hop. Born in Mogadishu, Somalia, K'Naan's subject material is comprised of socially conscious verse with infectious rhythms. His delivery is unlike most of what you hear over the airwaves these days.

Anyhow, Amazon is offering his entire, newly released album, "Troubadour" for only $2.  These tracks are DRM-free too. Not sure how long this offer from Amazon.com will last so...what are you waiting for? Get up on it!

Funny and Remarkable Vid

You Want One....I Know You Do.

How would you like this diamond framed iPod 3G? Be one of the first 10 people to order and it can be yours for only $10,000. Only 50 will be made worldwide so hurry.
