Drawing its name from a Somali phrase meaning “let it go,” Iska Dhaaf (prounced Is-ka Dawf; “It’s pretty phonetic. The more you think about it or try to make it sound like from another country the worse it gets,” says Quiroga) has built all the hype despite only digitally releasing a few songs. Then again, Quiroga (as Buffalo Madonna) also contributed to a little album called The Heist, singing the hook for Macklemore and Ryan Lewis’s “Thin Line,” so, comparatively, the local spotlight isn’t too blinding. (His pal Macklemore pops up as a Bob Hope-esque character in the Iska Dhaaf music video for “Everybody Knows,” which can be seen below.)
