Free Style Rap in Gaza



Free Style Rap in Gaza. While Gaza is not exactly free and the Israelis still occupy the land and terrorize the people. Thus making more people angry, and since rage is great for rap, you will not be surprised by the number of rappers in Gaza. While there are not one big name in the rap circles in Gaza. there are scores of many up and coming rappers who are working to find their voice and their own style in this somewhat new genre.

I know the band called PR had few hits and gotten some name recognition, there are few more names like Mothafar Assar. But there are other problem, few people get rap music and even fewer support it. On the Internet there's been accusations of PR breaking the laws of the Koran and promoting a alternate view of Muslim life.

But young people are tuning in and finding their own opinions and styles, so the rappers have new fans and followers. Check out this really short video of few Gaza rappers in free style session, notice how the audience are unsure what to think of this new art form. I know for sure these guys do not look like rappers, becasue to dress like a rapper you might get yourself in trouble.
