If you dont know.... Now you will.There is a scene in hip hop that has exploded all over the globe (no pun intended)....
The Arab Hip Hop scene.
Hundreds of extremely talented emcees are churning out record after record, single after single, mixtape after mixtape.... yet somehow, they are still slept on in most areas.
Why? Well.... there are loads of different "western ideals" that may explain it but I am not here to speculate or perpetuate conspiracy.
I am here to share some music.
This version of Where in the World Radio is simply an introduction to this scene.
There are artists missing, there are tracks that coulda, shoulda, woulda made it on here....
but this is simply an introduction.
Its up to you to do the rest of the work and discover more.

And if you are one of those lazy music aficionados, here are a few hints where to find more amazing free music from some of the artists on this mix.
THE PHILISTINES
THE NARCICYST
Also, if you havent seen it, go out and cop "Slingshot Hip Hop". This documentary by good friend, Jackie Salloum, is incredible. You will watch it more than once.... I put my riyals on it.
And another new doc coming from some students in Doha; "Broken Records".
*Thanks to Khalid for the graphic
I take it you were at the screening last night...:) It was pretty impressive I must say.
