Palestinian Collective BLTNM to Host Showcase in Amman Sep 19th
Brought by events giant Al Wahida, the show will feature a series of electrifying live performances from BLTNM's roster. Aug 09, 2025 Ramallah-based hip-hop collective and independent record label BLTNM is set to host a showcase in Amman, Jordan, on September 19th. Brought by events giant Al Wahida, the show will feature a series of electrifying live performances from BLTNM's roster, including the long-time collaborators Shabjdeed and Al Nather, alongside Daboor, Fawzi, Smokaholic and Touch. Since its inception, BLTNM has quickly become one of the most respected collectives in the region's hip-hop scene, for the way they managed to push trap music into a new, uncharted territory, presenting an honest vision of the young Palestinian living experience under the occupation. They carved out a distinctive sound that is political and revolutionary in a natural, unforced way, and considerably innovative. The show will take place at the Madboun venue in Amman. Tickets are now available via the tzkrti website.

Shabjdeed & Al Nather Reclaim the Crown on New Track ‘MLKRAP'
BLTNM heavyweights Shabjdeed and Al Nather reunite for 'MLKRAP,' a brutal drill track with a glitched-out visual twist. Jun 09, 2025 Palestinian rapper Shabjdeed just dropped a sonic uppercut. Titled 'MLKRAP', and produced by longtime collaborator Al Nather, the track marks a brash, unfiltered return to BLTNM's signature sound: raw, politically defiant, and uncompromising in energy. Released via BLTNM Records, the track came with a video game-inspired visual designed by Legbone, known for his dystopian digital aesthetic. Backed by Al Nather's drill beat, Shabjdeed delivers a fiery monologue that blends street poetry, biting social commentary, and a kind of dark humour. 'ملك لفلو انا ملك الراب' ('My flow is royal, I'm the king of rap'), Shabjdeed growls, delivering the line like a threat and a prophecy. The track moves between personal stakes and national rage, with bars that refuse to be softened. In the music video, Legbone's 3D animation plunges Shabjdeed into a glitchy, game-like world. With digital avatars, collapsing architecture, and surreal symbolism, the video echoes the track's themes of resistance through chaos.

Palestinian Rapper Daboor Channels Resistance in ‘Amina'
Daboor joins forces with producer Al Nather and director Aram Sabbah to deliver a searing portrait of memory and resistance. Apr 06, 2025 Palestinian rapper Daboor makes a powerful return with 'Amina', a new single produced by fellow Palestinian Al Nather and directed by Palestinian filmmaker Aram Sabbah. Subtle yet unflinching, 'Amina' channels the personal and political into something quiet and defiant—a track that mourns, remembers, and resists without ever raising its voice. The song opens with a hard truth: '25 and my story ends / We love her and hate you all.' What follows is less a verse than a generational reckoning—an elegy braided with grief, betrayal, and the unshakable burden of collective memory. While Palestine is never named, it is present in every bar, unspoken but unmistakable. Produced by Al Nather, the beat carries the kind of weight that gives Daboor's words even more gravity. The pairing is no accident—Daboor and Al Nather's collaborative history is marked by deeply textured productions that match emotional density with sonic restraint. Directed by Aram Sabbah, the visual component of 'Amina' stays close to the tone of the track—minimal but full of feeling, leaving room for the words to resonate. In an era where Palestinian narratives are often diluted or erased, 'Amina' refuses to be softened. Daboor's voice, and the voices of those he carries with him, are clear: we're still here—loving, hurting, remembering, resisting.

From the SoundCloud Vault: MENA Rap's Lost Files
From the SoundCloud Vault: MENA Rap's Lost Files From Abyusif to Cheb Terro, we curated a list of essential tracks by some of the region's most lauded rappers that remain exclusively on SoundCloud. In its early days, Soundcloud became a vital hub for regional hip-hop, a digital back alley where artists experimented freely, built a cult following, and laid the groundwork for the vibrant rap scene we see today. Before streaming giants dominated, it was the raw, unfiltered space where many rappers first dropped their tracks, often leaving behind a fascinating, and sometimes forgotten, archive. The SceneNoise team dug into that clout era of SoundCloud, compiling a list of essential cuts by some of the region's biggest rappers and some mystery ones, that remain exclusively on the platform, offering a glimpse into the formative years of a diverse and ever-evolving sound.
