Here's a new joint from Somali troubadour K'naan. "Hurt Me Tomorrow" is an anti-significant-other uplifter that sounds equally influenced by McCartney's piano ballads and Cee-Lo's 2010 gold-digger bashing tune. Watch K'naan debut the song live at Jay Leno above (props Yardie) and stream the proper recorded cut below.
