With his group DAM (Da Arabian MCs), Tamer Nafar pioneered Arabic hip-hop back in 2000 to speak to the inequalities and injustices he saw taking place in his community. The group recorded the language’s first flows expressing Palestinian pain with a documentary-like vividness. “Now we’re moving into surrealism,” he said. “We are humanizing the song now.”

The urgency of their subject matter and their constant willingness to experiment with hip-hop forms has positioned DAM as one of the foremost leaders in global hip-hop for the past 15 years. Their music has provided a vital window into what the struggle looks like on the ground — as relevant today as ever.
