K'naan
A Somali guy who raps about peace and love, born in Mogadishu, raised in Harlem, and instead of using a beat, he just beats the hell out of a drum.
He raps like he's fighting a war with a drum.
He said, "I don't need a beat, I just need a drum and a dream."
He’s like a poet who beats on drums like a madman.
