"Growing up and being born between the East and the West has helped me to understand that nationality is not the end all, be all of identity," he says. "Identity is really about what's inside you and who you are as an individual more than where you're standing and what land you're on."
إن النمو والولادة بين الشرق والغرب ساعدني على فهم أن الجنسية ليست النهاية كلها، وأن تكون كلها هوية "، كما يقول." الهوية هي حقا عن ما هو داخلك ومن أنت كفرد أكثر من حيث كنت واقفا وما الأرض كنت على.
THE NARCICYST a.k.a "Yassin Al Salman"
Born in Dubai to parents from Basra, Iraq, hip-hop artist Yassin Al Salman was raised between the United Arab Emirates and Canada.
As an MC he goes by the name "The Narcicyst" and has performed with the likes of Public Enemy, Talib Kweli and Kanye West. His work focuses on the experiences of Arabs in North America, and with album titles such as "Stuck Between Iraq and A Hard Place" and "Fear of an Arab Planet," Al Salman is making a name for himself in the world of Arab hip-hop.
Now 29 years old, Al Salman's family immigrated to Canada in 1993, where he was first introduced to hip-hop artists like WuTang Clan and NWA.
Along the way, Narcy earned a bachelor's degree in communication studies and political science as well as a master's in media studies. As part of his thesis, he recorded an album titled "Fear of an Arab Planet" with a group of Arab-American MCs.
In addition to maintaining a regular performance and speaking schedule, Alsalman also co-teaches a course titled "Hip Hop: Past / Present / Future" at Concordia University in Montreal. He uses hip-hop as a way to explore a range of issues, including race, colonialism, ghettos, religion, the history of art and personal identity.
