Even some of his beats are from Oldie Ethiopian songs.

Look at the beat in Knaan's song "Somalia" (the irony)

Now play this oldie Ethiopan song ""Yene Mastawesha""

So what! let atleast a foreigner introduce our melodies and natural heritages unlike us! we habeshas we know only to blame!!we dont know anything except openeing restaurants and introduce our national dishes! Even the habesha rappers dont use habesha tunes but western ones.This guy shows how he loves Ethiopia and Ethiopian music. It could have been esier for him to use western beats but he didnt! Hats Off Kanaaan! Ethiopia LOVES YOU!
