The ultimate guide to the most exotic rap in the world | Part 3 - MIDDLE EAST AND INDIA
Ever heard of rap in Mayan or Aztec? In addition, in Eskimo or Tibetan? Have you ever seen clips from the Kingdom of Tonga or hip-hop videos made by Papuans and Saami? Disgusting men gathered for you the most exotic rap from around the world. Some of the songs are thrash, but some suddenly turn out to be real pearls that you want to listen to on the replay.
MIDDLE EAST AND INDIA
Smokio Ft. Iraj - Mudukkuwen Eliyata | Sri Lanka
The only thing that was found out about the rappers Smokio and Iraj is that they live in Colombo, the actual capital of Sri Lanka, and write texts in Sinhala.
Mona Haydar - Hijabi (Wrap my Hijab) | Syria
In fairness, now Mona Haydar lives in the US, but she comes from Syria and it was there that she first started doing Islamic hip-hop. In it, she calls to wear the hijab, come to the true God, and so on.
Mona Haydar sounds crazy but the lyrics are not banter, and contain rather deep meaning. Mona Haydar calls to unite and live in peace not only Sunnis, but also Shiites, Sufis, as well as Kharijites and Yazids (who are considered apostates and exterminate the same igilovtsy). In general, Mona Haydar is clearly not fundamentalist, you can listen to Wrap my Hijab without accusations of radicalism.
Ahmed Kamel - el.3’agary | Egypt
The only thing that we managed to find out about Ahmed Kamel is that he is among the ten most popular rappers in Egypt and most of his works are some kind of tearful pop stuff. However, among her there are really vigorous things, like this:
DON964 - Volcano | Libya
Another singer, about which almost nothing could be found. His real name is Ahmed and until recently he lived and worked in Libya, where he made anti-war compositions and music videos. Some time ago, DON964 moved to Paris and is now trying to settle there.
Qusai - Umm El-Dunia | Saudi Arabia
On Last fm Qusai (aka Don Legend the Kamelion) is described as “artist, producer, performer, MC, singer, lyricist, musician, sound engineer, actor, poet, DJ, manager, promoter, model and athlete”. In general, the real man of the Renaissance.
Qusai was born in 1978 in Saudi Arabia. After school, his parents sent him to the US, where he studied at the University of Florida and got hooked on hip-hop. For a long time he lived in America, where he began to indulge in rap, then came back and is now in limbo, hanging out between two homelands - the old, in Arabia, and the new - in the US. It is believed that he - the first person in the Arab world, who began to do rap. However, apparently, it is considered, first of all, by him.
Mc Mawali and Mc Tod fod - Kar Natak | India
Mc Mawali and Mc Tod fod are rappers from the most populated city of India, Mumbai, who consider themselves revolutionaries of Indian hip-hop (at least in Hindi and Marathi). In fact, there is nothing more to say about them.
Swadesi - Ta Dhom | India
Swadesi is a collective project from Mumbai, made up of three artists who have worked separately one by one: the already mentioned MC Mawali, MC Tod fod and Mayavi nailed to them.
Prabh Deep - Kal (Future) | India
Prabh Deep is a rapper from Delhi. Curiously, Prabh comes from Punjab, the birthplace of Sikhism, and professes this exotic monotheistic religion. Even his album is called Class Sikh. Therefore, the blue turban and beard are not fashionable accessories, but attributes prescribed by faith.
HT Hayko - Taxi | Armenia
Hayk Margaryan, better known under the pseudonym HT Hayko, is an Armenian rapper from Yerevan. He learned to be an electrician and, judging by this clip, managed to work as a taxi driver, but his career in hip-hop is clearly better.
Heike is a fairly politicized performer, many of his compositions are devoted to the injustice of the authorities and corruption.
