I thought Arab rap band are doing a good job breaking into this almost dead genre. There are so many Arab rap bands that it's hard to know all of them. Egypt, Morocco and Palestine lead the way as the biggest rap names come from those countries....but it was not until I heard Shadi Mansour, the Palestinians fire cracker rapping female, that I known how big this genera is. Here is a promo video from Shadia Mansour's song about the Palestinian Arab traditional cover (kofya) she is fighting back against the capitalism of a symbol that for long have stood for resistance.
I think Shadia Mansour is up to a great start, she is the talk to the rap community in the Arab world, activists love her...and I sure hope you fans dig her stuff...here gives it a listen
Shadia Mansour, First Lady of Arabic Hip Hop, is set to release the first single from her upcoming debut album entitled "El Kofeyye 3arabeyye" Lyrics written by Shadia Mansour, Music written by Sandhill, Produced by Johnny Juice. The song features M1 of Americas Underground Political Duo Dead Prez. M1 traveled to Gaza in 2009 with Existence Is Resistance (www.existenceisresistance.org) and also felt there was a dire need for a song representing what this scarf really meant to the Arabic nations
Not only does Shadia Mansour rock the boat with this song, never before has Arabic rap been so passionate, never before was it this good looking!
