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.
