While undecided on Tamer Nafar, N3rdistan and Bu Kolthoum are the mood for going 15 over [the speed limit] on a 1-lane road cutting through summer plains. Jackpot. Thank you!

Other DAM tracks and specifically Fi Wa'et sounds exactly like the feel I'm seeking from Ravid - Fi Wa'et moreso. Next up is making a radio with Fi Wa'et and checking out those arabic rap playlists. Absolutely a great starter.

    I am very picky with the rap as I don't like mumble rappers, overly autotuned, silly rappers (that have no message) etc. so I end up zooming onto a few.

In the same boat, this and N3rdistan's approach (making music of known arabic poems) is what drew me to Matisyahu. He tells his story, which was shrouded in his religion for so long. It's a bit of a trip to me since I sure as hell wouldn't be caught listening to English rap about christianity.

That all to say, thank you! I'm pumped to add in N3rdistan for my casual listening. The search for the essence of Fi Wa'et and Ravid Kahalani encapsulated in an artist continues through arabic rap playlists of spotify.
