Since our launch a few weeks ago, FEN has been buzzing with incoming music to review. This month’s FEN Five includes picks from Danah’s Narcy review, Rami’s franco-arab-hip-hop writing soundtrack, one of our favorites from Kinan and Dinuk’s album Complex Stories, Simple Sounds and a Checkpoint 303 track we can’t get enough of. And of course with our excitement about K’Naan’s Wavin’ Flag being FIFA’s official track for the 2010 World Cup, we had to include that. Let us and the artists know what you think by leaving a comment below…
