Kicked Pushed: Some of you may have heard or read about what happened in Sweden's
Gothenburg. Where after the performance a bouncer wouldn't allow me to
go backstage to collect my things, though I had my pass in hand. The
story is deep, and Sol Guy (my friend and manager) ended up going to
jail for the night in Sweden. And me and the band spent the night at the
station waitin for him. While it was us who were disrespected and
actually physically assaulted, it was also us who were betrayed,
processed and reminded of the diseases in the human heart. Fortunately,
we were traveling with a camera and so we have some of those people and
some of the situation on camera.
Those of you who know my music know that I've never really written for
leisure. And that my experiences have always been at the forefront of my
music. And you must agree, rarely is life uneventful. But this one
called for special presentation. So I wrote a song, using Lupe Fiasco's
Kick Push instrumental. Documenting the experience we had in Sweden, I
call this song... KickED PushED. We also put together a video for the
song, using the ACTUAL footage from the scenario. Nothing is re created,
or re enacted, everything that you see is REAL.
I really like your music! It's great. It's balanced and full of different colors! It's really great! Keep going on! We need more music like this in this world! I really support you.

"Champions are not made in gyms. Champions are made from something they have deep inside them-a desire, a dream, a vision. They have to have last-minute stamina, they have to be a little faster, they have to have the skill and the will. But the will must be stronger than the skill.
hey..thanks for the add...love ur music.....especially the song ' in the beginning' which was played at the end of harold and kumar 2....... i looked up online everywhere and couldn't find the guitar chords to that song....could u send it to me or post it on ur page or somthin....?? id reeally appreciate it, thanks.......
K'naan you're absolutely off the radar. Smile is one of my favorite tracks of all time. Your performance in Victoria was amazin. Don't stop what you do. Peace man.
Just wanted to say that i think the song "kicked pushed" was a strong song. You speak the truth very well. Having someone like you to speak truth is a blessing, i can only hope to hear more from others. Hope your music reaches the masses, and changes lives for the better.
My brother, I love the music. Mad creative genius is shown in your every word. Keep up the work, know that there are always people listenin. Peace and love.
wish you were playing Reggae Rising again this year. i can still remember seeing you for the first time 2 years ago, not having a clue who you were and being completely blown away.
i guess if i can't see you at reggae i'll just have to follow you to outside lands.
