K'Naan's Troubadour sophomore album was supposed to be released earlier this month, but has been bumped back to Feb. 24.

Troubadour features guest appearances from Metallica's Kirk Hammett, Maroon 5's Adam Levine, Mos Def, Damian Marley, Chubb Rock and Chali 2na. The disc was preceded by two singles: "I Come Prepared," featuring Marley, and a reworking of "If Rap Gets Jealous," which features Hammett. The latter track was originally found on K'Naan's 2006 The Dusty Foot Philosopher debut album.
