rknddn is a Palestinian artist based in Amman, Jordan. he's been releasing gems for a few years now, his early work bearing a strong influence from the MIKE / sLUms glitchy abstract rap sound. he also made many tracks with fellow Amman based Palestinian Big Murk, a producer, and DJ who's main influence is Grime and like many others in the Palestinian scene blends club sounds with rap beats. below is an incredible grime track they made together with the OG Muqata'a, the Arab rap equivalent to getting a Kanye feature.

his early stuff was already among the most interesting in the generally really high quality, severely underrated, Palestinian rap scene (find my thread which gives an intro to the whole scene here), but it rly was just the beginning.

his sound has evolved quite a bit in the years since, with his new music he completely changed both his release as well as vocal style, from being an elusive rapper with only a few but extremely strong tracks, to now a regular stream of releases on soundcloud on which his sound is much more all over the place, jumping on plugg, jerk and hard to even categorize beats, as well as singing a lot more and using more vocal effects --- basically all of it is fire too. I'll link just a couple of the many soundcloud gems below.
