Most people would probably figure they'd never hear K'Naan rapping about growing up in Somalia and Maroon 5's Adam Levine singing "She Will Be Loved" in the same night. But that'll change when K'Naan and Maroon 5 tour together in November.

That probably seems like a bizarre pairing to most people, but it actually makes sense because Maroon 5's Adam Levine appears on K'Naan's Polaris Music Prize short listed sophomore album, Troubadour, which came out earlier this year.

The jaunt kicks off Nov. 2 after K'Naan plays dates with Lenny Kravitz throughout October. Maroon 5 have plans to release a new album sometime next year.
