Director Nabil delivers the visual equivalent to the African soundclash stylings of Somali-Canadian rapper K'naan in this striking video for "T.I.A.." The acronym stands for "This Is Africa" and the video certainly captures the kinetic spirit and colors many associate with that continent's culture. Just don't miss the blood and the violence and the outright horror that Nabil and K'naan are really seeking to convey with this diatribe on how even the roughest U.S. streets don't hold a candle to the dangers the rapper faced while growing up during the Somali Civil War. --> watch "T.I.A."
