I just watched the half hour Boiler Room documentary they made on the music scene in Palestine, really great.

it's so crushing to hear how hard they make it for artists from different areas to connect, it's really as much a war on their culture as on their lives

from 9:40 about the hip-hop scene, all of it worth watching though

The Palestinian duo Shabjdeed and Al Nather finally dropped their much-anticipated second album Sultan, mixing a wide-and-wild array of sounds from pop to Russian post-punk, collaged soundscapes to intricate electronics—all topped up with broken beats

I'll be honest so far I dunno if it quite lives up to how amazing their debut collab was you could say it's more cohesive... but also maybe too samey throughout.

could be it's just more subtle tho so def gonna give it more listens

great Spotify playlist
https://open.spotify.com/playlist/59zo98YWzQdEUuGvqn8eX4

A friend put me onto the BLTNM label about a year ago with the track NKD GLG

since the situation escalated so extremely in October I've been checking out their other releases and amazed by how amazing their entire catalog is

I mean it makes a lot of sense, hip-hop was born from resistance and especially as a reaction to racism, I was just never aware of much rap in Arabic (since then also found some sick Egyptian rappers through ZULI tho)

one of the things which impressed me most is how experimental their sound is, Muqata'a who's been given the title of the "godfather" of the Palestinian underground being at it for a decade+ now is also a rapper but a lot of his releases are instrumental Flylo type weird wonky electronics, mixed w club, glitch, vaporwave

he also mentored Jumud who's maybe the most fascinating artist in the scene to me just for being the most wildly experimental and versatile.

the "star" of the scene is most definitely rapper/producer Al Nather, who works a lot w other prominent rapper Shabjdeed but also produced for Fawzi for example (another of my faves so far)

there's so much to dig here! Yesterdy I stumbled on this Spotify playlist which is a pretty great primer, really great selections including all the prominent artists as well as even more underground ppl, linked above.

also big shoutout to Boiler Room (rare W) for doing a whole series as well as documentary on the club and hip-hop scene (there's a lot of overlap between the 2), including many of the most prominent artists from this scene who all deliver amazing sets
