If you have a chance to get to one, it should definitely be a dope experience. Dates and locales after the jump!!

K’Naan (one of my favorite philosopher lyricists) has joined forced with J.Period, the mixtape master, to bring us The Messengers, a three-part mixtape series. The Messengers features the music of three of the most influential “messengers,” Bob Dylan, Bob Marley, and Fela Kuti. Episode #1 feature K’Naan’s rhymes to Fela’s Afro-beats. It’s definitely worth a listen, a download, a blast from the speakers….
