Take a minute by K’Naan

Released in 2009, this is one of the favourites of the Somali-Canadian rapper. Keinan Abdi Warsame, better known by his stage name K’Naan, rose to fame with the success of his single “Wavin’ Flag”, which was chosen as Coca-Cola’s promotional anthem for the 2010 FIFA World Cup. The 40-year-old hip-hop artiste and poet, who is also engaged in philanthropy recently published a children’s book, When I Get Older: The Story Behind Wavin’ Flag.

Some of the studio albums of the award-winning musician include “My life is a movie” (2004), The Dusty Foot Philosopher (2005) and Country, God or the Girl (2012).
