Palestinian hip hop |
Palestinian hip hop supposedly started in 1998 with Tamer Nafar's group DAM[1]. These Palestinian youth forged the new Palestinian musical sub-genre, which blends Arabic melodies and hip hop beats. Lyrics are often sung in Arabic, Hebrew, English, and sometimes French.
Young Israeli Arabs are making use of political rap to express the alienation they feel living in the minority in a majority Jewish society."[2]
Borrowing from traditional rap music that first emerged in New York in the 1970s, “young Palestinian musicians have tailored the style to express their own grievances with the social and political climate in which they live and work” [1] Palestinian hip hop works to challenge stereotypes and instigate dialogue about the Israel/Palestine conflict[3].
Other Palestinian hip hop artists include members of The Philistines [1], N.O.M.A.D.S [2], MWR, and the Palestinian Rapperz.
