Hip Hop Revolution: An Overview of Arabic Hip Hop

Hi, everyone. I'm Ulysses and I'm here to share my new article that just went up on OpenDemocracy. It's called "Hip Hop Revolution." It provides an overview of the Arabic hip hop scene and explores how hip hop affects the way Arab youth interact with the revolution. I look at the scenes in Tunisia, Algeria, Morocco, Egypt, Libya, and Lebanon and feature Malikah 961, Soultana, Ibn Thabit, Ahmed Rock of Revolution Records, Lotfi Double Kanon, and El Général.
