k-os tours with Drake; the worlds of Drake and Broken Social Scene inch ever-closer

k-os tours with Drake; the worlds of Drake and Broken Social Scene inch ever-closer

For my next trick, I will connect the seemingly disparate worlds of Canadian indie rock heroes Broken Social Scene and (also Canadian) hip-hop hitmaker Drake in a mere two moves.

1. Broken Social Scene’s self-titled album (TMT Review) contained the track “Windsurfing Nation” featuring a guest verse from rap veteran k-os.

2. k-os will be going on tour this April with hitmaker/Degrassi superstar Drake.

And there you are! Of course, there’s a lot more worth knowing about k-os than his association with Broken Social Scene. For one, the man’s released four full-length albums, the latest of which, Yes!, saw release this past Tuesday, which was preceded with an appearance the day before on BET co-hosting a “Black History Month” episode of The Deal. Of course, all of this leads up to his role opening for Drake on his “Away From Home Tour,” which hits up a number of college campuses in hopes of promoting eco-friendly technology. Drake and k-os: a couple of guys who care! Now, if only they could get through to that dastardly Broken Social Scene crew. Bunch of hearts of stone over there.
