WATCH: The Gender Song #قصي - حواء | Qusai Feat. Ayzee - EVE



Saudi rapper who rapped in America continues his way of bringing about the inevitable change by bringing out a song about them ladies. It's a smooth rap song about the role of genders in one man's life. It's a complex subject and rappers have historically have no been the greatest to talk about women.

Eve, is the title of this song. I like the Ayzee he brings something fresh and something more R&B to the track. This is a good single from a guy whose roots are well known but also knows the role of women should be strengthened. There are so many ladies in the music video but they maintain their respect and dignity throughout the song.

I like the tribute and I like how he recognizes all the achievements of them Arab women. And the freedoms they have secured.

The Intriging Rap Of Mc Gaza


Rappers get little respect and appreciation in Palestine, yet the never stop rapping about Palestine and the issues of concern to them. Mc Gaza is one of those young men living in Gaza and rappi9ng about his frustration. He loves a place that has never shown him a good day. A place that did little for him other than toughing him up.

I think Mc Gaza is really talented with the flow and the rage. He is fast dropping those dazzling lines of his songs. I am a fan of how he comes us with those poetic and clever raps he crafts. He has little resources and virtually no support yet he is quietly building his fan base using the social media as a primary outlet.

See him rap about coming back to Gaza, with all its imperfection and misery, home is calling.

Watch: Cairokee Ft. Zap Tharwat Bring Down The House


Appearing as guests on the popular and provocative news satire show with Bassem Yousef, those artists brought down the house. Cairokee is the firm believer in the power of the people of Egypt and what they can do. Zap knows how to entertain one's senses and deliver some of the finest raps. Their latest collaboration offers an entire platform for alternative music, the Arab world has never met before.

Together they have put forth a song about holing one's ground, a call to the activists and the idealists to hold their ground. You call for justice, they call you a lowlife. Amir Eid (Vocals, Guitar) did a very fine job with Cairokee, he has taken it from a small garage band into the headline making band. Activist through music is nothing new, but Cairokee has a lot of stories to tell.

Not only does the band make great music that is capable of impressing even Western audience, they also find heart-filled lyrics. Zap brings his A game, he is Egypt's biggest rapper--and perhaps biggest household name. Zap keeps his eyes on Egypt, but he has never forget about Palestine. They want you to be an alternative person...he raps. Zap has also tackled issues of drugs with another singer, he seems to be opne to working with any star whom he shares a message with.

The Muslim Entertainer Mohamed Abbas Is Egypt's New Face Of Indie Music فك الكلابش - محمد عباس



A name one needs to know is the indie artist from Egypt Mohmed Abbas, he is indie because he is that young voice who speaks about social injustice without being angry, jaded or political. And if this is not a delight, he has great music and a very intimate style that we have not heard in Egypt in a really long time. This is a breath of fresh air because Abbas is a popular Muslims Munshid that means he does hymns like songs with religious tone. Those have been popular as more and more networks are dedicated to such material. I welcome him to the ring.

His style is similar to that of Sheikh Imam and Sayed Darwish, while he is brand new, his fans are there each time he performs--he has an upcoming concert in a mall. I am a fan of his voice expresses a great deal of sadness underneath his lines--it's like a not very angry volcano.

The sitting of his music video is the well known Egyptian cafes where people go to tell stories and relax. A charming music video for a wonderful song that needed to be sang. Mohamed is a cool dude in my book. He tells the stories of the people who work hard to get by, there are far too many beautiful tales that needed to be told.

Release me from you handcuff, aka unshackle me is the title of this song from the new comer Abbas. I like the feel good the song brings, it talks about many topics in a poetic style.

In The Aftermath Of Muslim-Copts Clashes Comes A Unity Song # Egypt


Songs are not enough to protect Christians in Egypt as sectarian violence shows its ugly face again in Egypt. It is not the first time and will not be the last unless the president and government take serious measures to prevent it


The last few days have witnessed clashes and sectarian violence between Christians and Muslims. These clashes have killed eight people, most of them Christians, and scores have been injured. Birdshot, petrol bombs and stones were used in these incidents. The two incidents in Khosous, Qalioubiya, north of Cairo, and the subsequent clashes at the Coptic Orthodox Cathedral, highlight the plight of Copts in Egypt after the fall of the Mubarak regime.

It should be noted that Copts suffered discrimination during the Mubarak era as well. No one is happy about this, I am not sure who is waging those clashes and massacres--they are a minority that knows how to make a small situation much bigger. It's a sad day, but Egypt son of the South Aly Hussain has a new and short song about the situation calling for unity under the Egyptian banner--we are one people and the Nile belongs to both of us.

I wish those things do not happen and wish people weren't tribal and prone to emotional outbursts. But it takes time, what it should not take is many lives.



Aly Hussain Nheb Baad نحب بعض على حسين

Listen: #Egypt Exclusive: Bahaa' Sultan " Deny we Denak " / " حــــصــريا : بهاء سلطان " دينى ودينك


Bahaa Sultan is a Muslim, he producer and mentor is Christian and they are the best friends in the world. When this team saw the massacre in Egypt and the attacks on one Christina Church, they worked around the clock for a song. They were moved and their song came through to move you.

 His song is about bringing worshipers closer, it's about reconciliation and peace. Trying to bring people together, we are always friends and same kind--let's not be victims for other people. Bahaa does not do the knee jerk songs, he is the apolitical figure, but this time is seems very personal to him. Ramy Gamal wrote the music. Moammad Atif wrote the lyrics.

Starting the song with an interview of an eye witness who saw the incidents and then Bahaa picks it up. This is less of a song and more of prayer to appeal for common sense and reminding people of what brings them together. The footage that accompanies the song help create the mood for this toxic topic, one people, religion should not be a wedge issue.

WATCH: Egypt Operetta With Wael, Amal, Hakim, Hany, Latifah Fouad, And Mehat أوبريت مصراوي حبيبي يا وطن 2013



This is the kind of song where you have good intentions but the organizing makes the artists feel weird about this song, but they press on anyway because there is too much at stake and they cannot pull out. The song or operetta is for Egypt and I love the title.

Amal Maher coming together with Hany Shaker and Mohammad Foaud is a huge deal for me. And Hakim has his fans out there, he will connect with them and bring them in. And there's Medhat Saleh with his octave voice and his heart beating Egyptian all the time. Those are all big ticket names who love the land and its people.

Hany Shaker comes back to singing again, and you know I am glad he is back. We miss his gentle soul and sweet emotions. He is the statesman of this song, the guy who the stars can rally around and look up to. The music has been composed by Waleed Saad and the storyteller is non other than Egyptian actor Ahmed Bidir.

Seven big names have come together for this song, and two of whom are not Egyptian but they are part of Egypt's music scene. Latifa of Tunis, and Wael Jassar of Lebanon. The song is recorded on a live stage with in studio audience. I do not get the dancers in the back, they need to be all over the place. Granted the official music video for this song is about to land any minute.

This clip is by the way of Hany Shaker official YouTube channel. This is a long song and cannot wait to see the properly edited and assembled song with a better sound quality.

Listen: Rouwayda Attieh Searching For Syrian Peace رويدا عطية - ابواب السلام 2013



Artists hate war, they have always been like that, and for one Syrian diva Rouwayda Attieh is out with a new song about peace. I cannot make out the politics of the song, but I know it feels human. I know pro president Assad would find it good and the same goes for the revolutionaries.

There is one true bit in it, we have not attacked anyone, they attacked us, occupied our land and then turned around and told us we are the problem. Maybe the Golan heights is on her mind at the moment. I like the reference to the churches and schools where the people are praying for peace.

The song starts strong, my land is seeing a lot of tragedy, enough with the disasters and promises. Enough is enough. Rouwayda Attieh had to be courageous to get involved in this topic, but once a Syrian always one. Her fans are all over the world would agree on this track specially about the dreams of her grandfather. It shows tradition and faith.

The Most Intellectual Rap Album "Khat Thaleth", A Tour Through Arabia In The Wake Of The Revolutions


Link To Download Album 
If you wanted to hear a smart and sophisticated political analyses delivered via touching rap songs, then this is the album you cannot miss on. This is the mature album where buyer's remorse are loudly expressed on the Arab Spring and the politicians who are making a killing off it. Palestine is in the center stage but other Arab countries where revolutions are brewing are featured.

While the political weight of hip-hop may have waned and become overrun by commercialization in many parts of the world, over the past two years certain areas throughout the Arab world have witnessed a new wave of politically committed rap. This album is about goring up so much since 2011, the demands of Arab street has not changed much, but politicians have. They have learned that dictators recycle themselves through the revolving door. Luckily, the album is for those who have had enough and are just pure cynical about anything they hear.

With diverse and technical lyricism, eclectic productions and an active listenership, artists have aptly assimilated the art-form and made it their own; picking up microphones as their weapons of choice, supporting, criticizing and, in some cases, actively participating in the Arab revolutions. This a curated album by some of the most prolific artists in this genre.

Following last year’s critically-acclaimed release of Stronghold Sound’s, Sembeh Ma Fa Fe, a landmark compilation of Guinean hip-hop and reggae, the San Francisco-based label continued on to Beirut, Lebanon, where Syrian-American producer, dub Snakkr (Munaqresh) has been based for the past 2 years. With the objective of putting together a new compilation, dub Snakkr connected with some of the most interesting and representative acts in the Arab hip-hop underground.

Khat Thaleth, Third Line: Initiative for the Elevation of Public Awareness is a comprehensive 23-track compilation that covers a wide spectrum of this new wave of conscious rap and features artists from diverse scenes like Palestine, Tunisia, Jordan, Syria, Egypt and Lebanon. The title, “Khat Thaleth”, refers to a third train rail or track, a metaphor for a third way of looking at the polarized political context in the region, as well as a reference to the "hijaz" railroad that used to connect much of the Arab world. Artists team-up, in most cases from different regions and countries, to deliver critical blows to the various political systems in place, and offer sharp social commentary as well as sober realities currently being faced on the ground.

The immense relevance of the unprecedented Khat Thaleth compilation in the Middle East is not only limited to the politically charged content of the verses (full English translations of the lyrics are available online). Artistically, the album also provides us with a glimpse into the avant-garde of some of the most musically adventurous artists and producers in current Arab rap, who smoothly mix their lessons learned from American golden age rap luminaries with their very own folk traditions creating a completely new school of lyricism and production.

I cheer on this album that brings out some of the finest musical styles form all over the world to celebrate a universal message of freedom. I love the very Syrian rap, about the revolution and murder in that country, there are no wrong or right when it comes to Syria--there are only chaos for all involved. The 23 tracks are a delightful tour of all what's hip and relevant in Arab rap. I adore the mixing and layering of the tracks, this is an album made on the highest professional standards by people who take their rap and their messages seriously.

Sometimes I think political science professors would make intellectual rappers, this is how their work would sound had they wrote this album. Frankly, the album captures the pulse of the Arab street to the best one could. America has at least one rapper who make such songs here, Lupe Fiasco. Now we can boast about artists from Arabs with similar political and musical chops.

As for the substance, the album is never too shy from discussing any controversial or polarizing policies or groups--they are an equal-opportunity critics.

WATCH: President Obama Is Coming Obama Jay أوباما جاي #Palestine


Activist in Palestine are poking fun of president Obama's visit to the West Bank, they are not mean or anything  just sarcastic at the man who comes offering nothing and changing little. They are bored and it's all a fair game to recount some of the pains people of Palestine live through daily.

This is a humorous song with, welcome Obama! The Ramallah activists are smart too, you can hear a voice in English saying, "I have seen enough, I must go, wait for peace" The biggest expense for the music video was the car rental where the actor playing president Obama rides.

The song talks about the crossing or military checkpoint separating Jerusalem from Ramallah or the west Bank. I like the geek guy with glasses, he might have his fans around the world as those geeks have a league of their own. It's sad, but true, this trip came form nowhere in a time where the peace process has not gone anywhere in five years.

WATCH: Mat Elkalam Cairokee اغنية كايروكى - مات الكلام

Egypt's hottest and biggest rock band started as an indie band till they all of a sudden got big. Commercial money started flowing, promoting soft drinks, energy drinks and just about anything. They are covted on TV shows and asked to comment on all things Egypt. They have toured the world and back, and still they are still the most popular band in Egypt.

Their fan base keeps on growing, and they sort of reach out for the cool aisle. More and more they are focused on their look, and outfits. New haircuts and grooming are in order, they now look like every other mainstream American band. What still sets them apart is their lyrics, passion and messages about changes in Egypt.

They are back with a new song that serves as the soundtrack for an upcoming indie film about the Revolution in Egypt. This is an A list film with top talents, the song is way out there, about the meaning of change and to quote, the nightmare in your dreams.

They pick on the security officers in Egypt, their torture and abuse methods. And doing all that in an abandoned building. But do not worry their guitar and vocals are still on the money. This is the anti-establishment, it sets Egypt as the people vs. everyone else including the politicians and people with authority. Amir Eid wrote the dazzling lyrics and I tell you they sound as a shot in the ear. Their fire in the belly is still on.

One Tunisian Rapper Arrested For Trashing The Police Weld El 15 البوليسية كلاب


Some Tunisian who sang against the police rests in jail right now. His song was titled "The Police Are Dogs"--think Pigs in America. His song takes a creative approach at insulting the police and he was nothing but harsh words for the police force in Tunis,

Many young people in Tunis are pissed of at their government and from the comments they post, they seem to want to break free. Weld El 15 is the artists behind this song. The Tunisian Ministery of Interior has arrested a young man and unidentified woman, they await to see a judge. This has taken place south of the capital and they are investigation the incitement and defamation the song calls for against the government and the police.

I think, people should be free to speak their minds, but even in free societies there are limits...try to mock a police officer, call him a name of give him the middle finger here. You will not be happy. I wish the artist well, and I want him to be free.

Palestinians In Israel Refuse To Enlist In Israel's Army


For a really long time, Israel would not accept Palestinian enrollment in its army--those are citizens of the State of the Israel. And for the most part, Palestinian Arabs would not join the army because they do not want to be killing their brethren in Gaza and the West Bank. Both Muslims and Christian Palestinian citizens refuse to serve in the army and Israeli is happy about that.

Now, some loons in the Israel government--there are so many of them in this current government want to ask those people to serve in the army and protect Israel. So a group of ordinary young people made video for that matter where they are singing about refusing to enlist in the army that will send them to do acts that might be contrary to human rights.

See dozens of young men and women making it loud and clear, in the Israeli army we won't serve. They are all too familiar with the "Divide and Conquer  rule. Take me to prison if you may, but I ain't joining the army.

صوت فلسطيني ضد التجنيد


The lyrics of the song



I refuse to serve in the Israeli occupation forces
Even if I am sent to prison
And I know, mother, how proud you will be of me
Mother, I refuse to be recruited
And you can rest assured
That I will always revolt
Even if they torture me
I refuse to oppress my people
And stop my friends at the checkpoints
Let the freedom screams blow and roar
Down with military rule
I will liberate my land with my hands
And I will not collaborate with my oppressor
I give my heart and soul eyes for my oppressed

It's time for the occupation to end
No to negotiations and normalisation
And the right of return shall not be sold
The blood of martyrs shall not be wasted
It's time for the occupation to end

From Ramleh jail to Askalan jail
The prisoners have defeated their jailers
And shouted behind the bars:
It's time to end the occupation

The sons and daughters of Palestine
Reject the Israeli military service
And will not rest Until we end the occupation
It's time to end the occupation.

We shall liberate Palestine with our steadfastness
The people demand freedom
And we all reject recruitment and civil service with the Israeli army
The people demand freedom

The Singing Venezuela's President Hugo Chavez Dead Dies At 58


The Associated Press reports that Hugo Chávez, who led a leftist revolution and served as Venezuela's president for nearly 14 years, has died at 58 years old. Chavez had been fighting cancer since 2011, and had chosen Venezuelan Vice President Nicolás Maduro as his heir-apparent when it became clear that health concerns might force him from office.

Aside form everything, the Venezuelan president liked to sing in public, he loves Mexican songs and has performed around the world as part of his travel--at the UN he even sang. Seriously can you see an Arab leader doing the same thing no! Even President Obama sang in public and the internet loved him for it--some did not think it was presidential.

 Hugo has the singing voice, a very strong manly voice and a talent that exhibits his inner child. This is one thing that brought him closer to the people of Venezuela and the world. I recall at one time, there was a tension between his country and Mexico. Chavez took on the streets and sing a famous Mexican song.

The world will miss this singing president. Here's some of his finest public performances where he has put his heart on display. While his politics might not be missed, the cool president will be missed by those who have heard him sing.

Déjà vu! The Egyptian Revolution and Music


In the first revolution in Egypt of January 25th 2011, the music scene celebrated the movement, it did not shape it and it did not lead it or cause it. The second chapter of the revolution is gaining momentum in 2013 and music is trying to play a bigger role.

More and more songs are coming out against the government and in support of change. This can be good and it can lead to disaster. But when I hear the new song by new comer Mohemd Metwaly talking about pledging to bring an end to all things wrong, I feel like we have been there before.

Metway has even used a clip from the president talking about making things better, when the clip ends the singer goes, " enough with the talk, we had plenty!" There's another quote in the song by Egyptian actor Ahmed Hilmi who likens the current situation to an old and bad film with the same scenes playing over and over again.

Listen: The Samer Issawi Song Is Here #Palestine



As and democracy loving Israeli court denied bail for a Palestinian prisoner after calling for an emergency hearing to consider his case. The decision comes amid a 24-hour hunger strike in solidarity with Issawi and other hunger strikers held by at least 800 Palestinian prisoners detained by Israel.

Issawi  has become a Palestinian legend among his peers and country men. He has already inspired so mant social media activists and on the ground activists look up to him. Issawi has been refusing food for more than 200 days and his health has deteriorated rapidly since he began to refuse water.

Under Israeli military policy a prisoner may be held indefinitely without trial or charge. The United Nations has called on Israel to end this policy, known as administrative detention, and immediately release or charge detainees. I love watching Israel destroying their own image by their own actions and indifference. I do not think such actions go unnoticed anymore.

Ahmed Dari, a Jerusalem, based activist singer is out with a timely song, the songs that are not market drive. He has become one of the faces to make non-disposable songs in very disposable times. Dari isjoined this time by a new voice of Yousef Zaid. Israelis have no idea why they are detaining this man, but it looks like arrogance is only matched by his strong will.

WATCH: Zap Tharwat ft. Amir Eid Take Morsi To Task | حقي


C'mon people, a bus was in an accident with Egypt, those kind of accidents are horrible but they do happen more often than not--even in places like the West. So those who like to pretend to be upset with  the Egyptian government use that accident as a way to get back at the President. Those are horrible accidents and children should not have to worry about their safety. It should also be a given, people should not be murdered for speaking their minds or for going about their their daily life.

Zap Tharwat--Egypt's hottest rapper and smartest one indeed released a s new song about right and the better tomorrow. He is helped once again by the super indie star Amir Eid from Cairokee band. Amir is a featured guest on the track headlined by Zap Thrwat. A lovely indie song with a first time affects. I love with rock and rap give us a beautiful collaboration.

I love the notebook background with all the stories being told as the songs progresses. The school notebook reminds of those little school children. This is an incredible music video with a touching story and heartwarming lyrics. Those two indie entertainers are too smart to sing for one party and not the other, they are singing about issues rather than politics.

Indie Rock HATE Fest For The Brotherhood Of Egypt


The slackers of Egypt are uniting behind indie rock stars who have been busy attacking the president of Egypt and his party. They all have the right to express their views, and let it be heard what they really think. Activists are now lining behind Ramy Essam, the rock star who calls members of the Muslim Brotherhood party dogs and not in a good way.

Ramy has been waging his own war on the Egyptian presidency, something he clearly has the right to do in any peaceful way. Those whom he attacks have been doing the right thing, by ignoring him and dismissing him. Eventually he will go away, like all the others.
 
Another dissident voice is rock star Mado who has just released a track accusing the Muslim Brotherhood of being disloyal and known for betrayal and other unkind attributes.

May Kassab has never been a politician or a revolutionary, but she is one of the people. And it seems that the people including May are sick of the protesting and the Pickering at home. She is not the only frustrated with the people who are not willing to chill.

Her biggest disappointment with those people who pretend to be patriots, revolutionaries and rebels when in reality, they are cashing in the bank. This is a real track that speaks volumes of the reality in today's Egypt. The sons of bitches are selling the country out...they can suck it the song says. Thugs are politicians and every person speaks politics now.

It's a shame and the songs calls their bullshit spot on. It's for a show as goes the song. I did not think I would ever see May get political, but I approve of her new song, the reality is messed up. People want normalcy back
