Rknddn, Shbash & Big Murk Team Up on New Single ‘Absar Leish’

After months of speculation around a possible link-up, Jordanian-Palestinian artists Rknddn and Shbash have teamed up with Big Murk on single, ‘Absar Leish’.

Produced by Big Murk, the beat is dark and functional, built around a sub-heavy bassline and cinematic synths. It moves with steady pressure, leaving little room for downtime. There’s no hook or traditional chorus, just a continuous exchange of verses that keeps the focus firmly on delivery and writing.

Thematically, both artists stay within familiar territory, origin stories, independence, calculated moves, and the realities of building a career in rap on their own terms, a meditation on lived experience rather than exaggerated posturing or flexing. 

Shbash approaches the beat with his usual control, balancing melodic phrasing with a firm, grounded tone. His verses carry a sense of weight without overstatement. Rknddn counters with a more aggressive approach, leaning into dense rhyme patterns and shifting cadences that keep the momentum moving. The contrast creates a back-and-forth that feels intentional rather than competitive.

As a first collaboration between three trailblazing forces in the regional hip-hop scene, ‘Absar Leish’ captures distinct styles intersecting cleanly, offering a clear snapshot of where Jordanian rap is right now, hinting at where it could go if this partnership continues.
