Middle Eastern hip hop is a dynamic fusion of traditional Middle Eastern musical elements and contemporary rap influences. Artists in the genre blend Arabic, Persian, Hebrew, Kurdish, and North African sounds with modern trap, drill, and boom-bap beats. Lyrics often explore themes of identity, resistance, and everyday struggles, reflecting the diverse cultural and political landscapes of the region. Many artists incorporate regional instrumentation, such as the oud or ney, alongside heavy basslines and electronic production. The result is a powerful and evolving genre that bridges local traditions with global hip hop culture.
