Actually this clip video has been around one year ago… Good lyrics (remember you can’t take it with you when you “go”) Some hilarious acting by these two singers… just to share it here and also to post something in this blog… hahaha…

It has been two weeks since I last update my blog… for my entry today, i have the preview and review of Native Deen latest album - Not Afraid to Stand Alone. I’ll update my review later, but below is the preview of each song in the album, 30 seconds only…

Native Deen consists of three young Muslim men who were born and raised in America. Joshua Salaam, Naeem Muhammad, and Abdul-Malik Ahmad who grew up in Washington, DC. Their music seeks to inspire young people to keep their faith amid the pressures and temptations of modern life (wikipedia). Listening to their songs, i can’t help but notice that their music give strong messages about our daily life (although most of their songs are focusing on living as muslims in America, their songs is good enough to inspire me - a malaysian muslim living in New Zealand with the “pressure and temptation” of “modern” world, hehe). In this album, Still Strong, Life’s Worth, Tala’al Badru, Zamilooni and M-U-S-L-I-M are the tracks that I like (especially Life’s Worth).

Tracks:
SubhanAllah
Stand Alone
Lord is Watching
Still Strong
Life’s Worth
Sea of Forgiveness
Pray Before…
Tala’al Badru
The Message
Hold the Line
Labbayk
Eid Morning
Rain Song

M-U-S-L-I-M

Lately, I ‘ve been listening to Outlandish songs. Their album, Closer Than Veins is my favorite now although the album was released quite some time ago (in 2005, i think). Actually, I only heard about Outlandish last year. So it’s pretty new to me.

From Wikipedia:-
‘Outlandish’ is a multi-award winning hip-hop group based in Denmark. Formed in 1997, they consist of Isam Bachiri (born in Denmark and of Moroccan background), Waqas Ali Qadri (born in Denmark and of Pakistani background), and Lenny Martinez (from Honduras). All three members are devoutly religious and deeply open-minded, with Isam and Waqas being Muslims, and Lenny being Catholic.

Belows are the preview of their album, Closer Than Veins (30s for each song):-

What i like about their songs: good Islamic/Humanist lyrics. Some previews about the lyrics of each track:-
