A hijab and the atmosphere are very similar. They protect the beauty of those they cover. Dedicated to my little sisters Deka and Kadija Ali

The Journey

The Hijab

Somali infused English rap. Yeah, I mixed Somali and English to make a rap. I had a lot of fun making it.

Too Real

Resolute

Some bars they jail minds, mine are meant to free them
Much like my spirit these lyrics are fueled by freedom

Knowmadic Mentality

Destiny will play out regardless of how you try to intervene. So live life to the fullest!

Destiny

Let the person you love know how you feel. Even if how you feel for the person can't be defined by love. The expression of your feeling is often more than enough.

 Shout out to Cheko Salaam for helping record and making the track.

Roots is addressing the issues that are relevant in Somalia. My intention is to get the spirits of the Somali people to rise, so they may unite and bring back our dynasty. 

This is the rough version of the production. It will be mastered and redone.

It's easy to forget that being beautiful isn't about material wealth. Being beautiful is accepting your unique identity. You are an original copy in a huge universe. Embrace your difference.  There is more beauty in being yourself. Don't forget you are beautiful.
