On Wednesday night (March 31), hip-hop stars Wale and K’Naan will throw down together at the Fillmore New York at Irving Plaza in Manhattan. But the pair’s performance will also be streaming live on MTV.com. Tune in at 9:30 p.m. Eastern (6:30 p.m. Pacific) for the duo to run through all their hottest hits, like “Pretty Girls,” “Chillin’” and “Wavin’ Flag.” It will represent the first date of a two week tour that will see the pair hitting cities like Atlanta, Boston, Baltimore, Philadelphia and Chicago.
Both K’Naan and Wale have had breakthrough years. Since the release of his hit album Troubadour last year, Somali rapper K’Naan has been collaborating with everyone from Mos Def to Metallica guitarist Kirk Hammett to Maroon 5 frontman Adam Levine. He’ll get his biggest exposure this summer when the 2010 World Cup launches, as “Wavin’ Flag” has been chosen as the official song of the worldwide soccer tournament.
After years of being a mixtape legend, Wale dropped his debut album Attention Deficit in November of 2009. That topped off a run that saw him collaborate with Lady Gaga and serve as the frontman of the house band at the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards. His live presence is legendary, making this a can’t-miss trek.
