Shabjdeed Ventures into Drill with Riyadiyat in Latest Single "Fi Harb"
"Fi Harb" marks a shift from second-generation Palestinian artists' hitherto catharsis.
Jan 05, 2020
Palestinian rapper and a founding member of the home-grown BLTNM imprint, Shabjdeed, collaborated with Riyadiyat and producer Al Nather to create a mellow-drill track, Fi Harb (There's A War). Released last week, Fi Harb marks a shift from Shabjdeed's – and generally, the BLTNM clan's – aversion to centering lyrics on Palestine's crippling socio-political situation. Indeed, since their inception, members of BLTNM have been recognised widely for imbuing tracks with fun and cathartic lyrics – distinguishing them from first-generation artists of their genre, to the point where they now front the second-generation of artists responsible for re-framing the local narrative.<iframe width="100%" height="300" scrolling="no" frameborder="no" allow="autoplay" src="https://w.soundcloud.com/player/?url=https%3A//api.soundcloud.com/tracks/736305826&color=%23ff5500&auto_play=false&hide_related=false&show_comments=true&show_user=true&show_reposts=false&show_teaser=true&visual=true"></iframe>Comprising a hook emphasising the magnitude of the war in Palestine "Missiles from Gaza are reaching Antarctica" accompanied by verses transmitting its debilitating continuity "Experience it once, twice, in Deir as-Sudan, there's a battle", Fi Harb is a reminder of the arduous context from which Shabjdeed, Riyadiyat and his accomplices are producing art.
