Mona Haydar

Mona Haydar is a Syrian-American rapper, poet, and activist blending spirituality, social justice, and unapologetic self-expression into her music. Born to Syrian parents and raised in Michigan, she gained viral attention with her 2017 debut single "Hijabi (Wrap My Hijab)," a celebration of Muslim women's resilience that became a global feminist anthem. Her work—like the tracks "Barbarican" or "Good Body"—often tackles themes of body positivity, anti-capitalism, and decolonization, wrapped in soulful beats and sharp, poetic lyrics. A graduate of Harvard Divinity School, Haydar infuses her faith and Sufi-inspired spirituality into projects like *Songs From The Mothership* and *Remember (Dhikr/Zikr)*, creating meditative hip-hop that’s both personal and politically charged. She’s also a mother and community organizer, using her platform to advocate for climate justice and Palestinian liberation. Whether she’s dropping fiery bars or soothing mantras, Mona’s music feels like a warm, revolutionary hug—or a call to action, whichever you need first.
