Collection: Middle Eastern Hip Hop

Middle Eastern Hip Hop is a vibrant and diverse musical landscape that blends traditional regional sounds with contemporary rap and hip-hop styles, emerging from countries like Egypt, Iran, Iraq, Libya, Tunisia, Morocco, Afghanistan, Syria, Israel, Palestine, and the Gulf states. This genre reflects the complex social, political, and cultural experiences of artists across the region, ranging from underground scenes in Tehran to revolutionary Palestinian rap, and from melancholic Persian sad rap to energetic Egyptian and Gulf hip-hop beats. Artists in this genre often incorporate local languages like Arabic, Farsi, and regional dialects, alongside traditional instruments and rhythms, creating a unique sonic palette that speaks to both local struggles and universal hip-hop themes of identity, resistance, and personal expression. Subgenres like Persian Underground Hip Hop and Syrian Hip Hop showcase the raw, unfiltered voices of youth, while styles like Israeli Trap and Persian Drill demonstrate the genre's ongoing evolution and global connectivity, making Middle Eastern Hip Hop a powerful form of musical storytelling and cultural commentary.
