Knaan: Strugglin video + song

"Strugglin" is the second single from K'naan's album The Dusty Foot Philosopher Deluxe Edition. Unlike the vibrant and percussive first single "Soobax", this song gently soaks into your speakers like a mellow lullaby. Backed by a band usually fit for a singer-songwriter, not a hip-hop artist, the song incorporates soft guitars, drums and bass that set a quiet, pensive mood. Showing his poetic and introspective side, the song discusses how pain and struggling are the circumstances K'naan came to know intimately while growing up in Somalia. In an especially thoughtful lyric K'naan rhymes, "I'm slowly drifting in the arms of trouble / then trouble holds me / and nothing else's close to me more than pain / unfortunately like a self fulfilling prophecy / I'm supposed to be strugglin'." We heard some good stories about "Strugglin" music video by Knaan and yeah, we like it. This joint have received some well deserved attention but didnot make it to the top. A pity...
