K-Salaam & Beatnick - In Jamaica ft. K'naan & Buckshot
Artist: K-Salaam & Beatnick
Producer: Beatnick & K-Salaam
Album: Where The Streets Have No Name
Label: VP Records
It’s always great to see Booth-approved artists and beatsmiths working together. In this case, K-Salaam and Beatnick, the Minneapolis up-and-comers who recently impressed our readers with their remixes of Never Can Say Goodbye and Let’s Get It On, have hooked up with recent Booth interviewee K’naan and Boot Camp Clik veteran Buckshot for a collaborative mixtape called Where the Streets Have No Name. On a newly-released cut, the two emcees get together to reminisce about their time In Jamaica. K’naan’s tone is mellow and lighthearted as he tells a breezy tale of tropical romance; Buckshot, on the other hand, briefly touches on some of the country’s sociopolitial issues. K-Salaam & Beatnick’s spacious production oozes Caribbean sun – the perfect thing to help us chilly Midwesterners tough out the rest of the winter. K’naan’s sophomore LP, Troubador, hits store shelves on the 24th; watch for K-Salaam & Beatnick’s Never Can Say Goodbye and Buckshot’s Conflosations (with KRS-One) in the near future.

K-Salaam & Beatnick are one of the many talented artists I got to know in the Booth and they’ve become very recently a personal favourite of mine. I already know the song’s gon be good before I play it! ;) Wow... I don't know exactly what instrument they used to produce the bass, but it is hot and carries the song very well throughout.
K’naan was so into the music… great! |

I really like the vibe on this song! I love the caribbean-influenced production, and K'naan sounds great over it. I'm really lookin forward to this cat's album comin out on the 24th. Buckshot did his thing and was a good change of pace on the last verse. K-Salaam & Beatnick-keep killin them beats!
