K’Naan, "Soo Bax"
(Somalia/Canada) This scathing rap against the politicians and warlords of Somalia comes from K’Naan, a native son who narrowly escaped his country with his life.  He has been compared to Eminem and other rappers, but he is a world apart, eschewing violence from already having experienced too much too close. He caught Youssou N'Dour's attention when he performed for the UN, stopped the band and took the present officials to task for a botched job, in rap form. Major tours followed. The video was not shot in Somalia, but in a Somali enclave in Kinshasa, as Mogadishu was far too dangerous to visit. "Soo Bax" means "Get out."Visit K'Naan onlineTake Action for Human Rights at Protect the Human
