Tahribad-ı İsyan

Tahribad-ı İsyan is a groundbreaking rap group hailing from the historical peninsula of Istanbul, known not only for their formidable presence in the Turkish hip-hop scene but also for their social activism. The group is composed of three core members: Zen-G, Ihtiyat, and Slang; all of whom grew up in the impoverished and gentrified Sulukule neighborhood, which is one of the oldest Romani settlements in the world. They channel their experiences of urban marginalization and cultural resistance into their music, with a style that blends sharp lyricism, traditional motifs, and gritty production to confront social issues and deliver powerful narratives of their reality.

Since their inception in 2011, Tahribad-ı İsyan has built a reputation for incisive commentary on systemic injustices, and the gentrification that has afflicted their community. Their gritty and evocative releases like "Ghetto Star" and "Leyla" demonstrate their refined storytelling ability and their unique sound, often incorporating elements of local Turkish musicality. Their track "Çatapat" was featured as an original piece for the popular Turkish television series 'Çukur', cementing their status in mainstream media. Tahribad-ı İsyan's raw articulation of life on the margins resonates with many, elevating their voice as a touchstone for authenticity within the urban tapestry of Istanbul's music scene.
