Middle Eastern Rapper: Analyst


February 22, 2008 | Tags: analyst

OK. I wanted to introduce ya'll to the "the first Arab rapper," by the name of Analyst (BTW, that's how he referred himself). He's originally from Palestine and now he resides in California. Shout out to the West Coast. He's only 20-years old but he has a little bit to say. It was just interesting to see how Hip Hop has become a global community and how the Middle Eastern influence can be heard in his music. Check him out and let ANALYST know what you think...by leaving a comment. 

Interview on the red carpet:

"During his adolescence, he began writing his own lyrics and freestyling about events and people in his own life. He found that his freestyle skills were tools to express his hardships and deal with the day to day problems in his life. At the age of 14, Analyst dove right into the game by battling with locals. Winning numerous battles, Analyst earned serious lyrical credibility around his high school and neighborhood. He quickly became known as the "Arab kid that could spit” and gained an immense deal of popularity. “A lot of people who battle or battled in the past claim to be undefeated, just to come off as being ill…its ridiculous…the many who know me, know I was undefeated, and I can say that with confidence.” The word got out and Analyst gained serious attention in and out of his neighborhood as being the number one freestyler and the one to beat. But eventually, Analyst made the decision to put an end to his battling image. “I noticed battling wouldn’t get me anywhere…only a few have ever landed deals off of battling…it’s the songs that get you somewhere, so I realized I had to redirect my focus on makin’ real music and dropping freestyle tracks.” -as written in his press release. 

Here's the trailer to the upcoming DVD and video:

PS: Along with the 2008 Artist Lookouts (which are blogs about dope artists that I think are next,) I also plan to post people who need advice from the fans as well as constructive criticism that will allow them to enhance their passion. I believe in equal opportunity. I want the people to decide on what is and what is not hot. I plan to give you that every week. I think this would be cool for all you people who send me emails and ask me to listen to your music. I place the critiques in the hands of the people. Its the separation between my stamp of approval and your stamp of approval. I'm giving the voice back to the people.
