While everyone’s favorite Somali Canadian artist has been relatively quiet the past year, he has been hard at work on his upcoming More Beautiful Than Silence EP. Of course, he did have a nice run from his work with J.Period, as well as that huge World Cup 2010 look, but we have been patiently waiting for that follow-up to the 2009 Troubadour LP from K’naan all along. One of the tracks featured on the EP is the Nas assisted “Nothing To Lose”, a perfect balance of hip-hop and pop if you ask me. More Beautiful Than Silence is set to drop Jan. 24.
