It’s just cool as hell, man. Hip-hop is just cool … I think people gravitate towards hip-hop because of how cool it is, before all the other things.
– Chyno, MC
Like rock n’ roll before it, hip-hop started mainly as a cultural movement decades ago that spread worldwide, affecting even the far reaches of the earth. The Middle East is no exception. Hear Chyno and FZ, two members of Lebanon’s live hip-hop band Fareeq El Atrash, share about their beginnings as a musical group and about their contribution to the still fairly nascent, but highly promising, Middle Eastern hip-hop scene. All the music featured in this episode comes from the band’s second full-length album.
