Arabic hip hop is hip hop music and culture originating in the Arabic-speaking world. It is performed in English, local Arabic dialects, Hebrew, and French. Like most artists of the genre, these artists are highly influenced by American hip hop. Hip hop music is played on the radio stations and shown on TV stations in Arab countries, but performing it has begun only recently. Some[who?] say a Palestinian group called DAM began the movement but in fact, the MWR (from Akko) released the first hip hop single in Arabic called "Ashanak Arabi" (Because you an Arab).[citation needed]

Palestinian hip hop supposedly started in 1998 with Tamer Nafar's group DAM.The group, based in Israel was founded in 1998, and is made up of three Palestinian Israeli men: Tamer Nafar, his brother Suhell Nafar, and Mahmoud Jrere. They blend Arabic melodies and hip hop beats in their music. The group's name is the Arabic word for "blood," (دم) but can also be an acronym for "Da Arabic MCs."

Ramallah Underground is a hip-hop group based in Ramallah, Palestine - including boikutt, stormtrap, and aswatt. Their lyrics represent a powerful response to the occupation of their country. Despite the severe isolation imposed on them they have benefited from a global media revolution that surpasses all boundaries and have adopted hip-hop as a subculture and a form of expression of protest, ultimately giving voice to a whole generation of Palestinians and Arabs.

The group MWR (Mahmoud, Waseem, and Richard) helps to bridge the social gap between Israelis and Palestinians by showing that being both Arab and Israeli is acceptable. They also describe that it is possible for Arabs and Israelis to exist in peace. They sing out against poverty, drugs, crime, and the hardships they deal with as Palestinians living inside of Israel.Their lyrics represent a powerful response to the occupation of their territory. Despite the severe isolation imposed on Arab-Israelis, they have benefited from a global media revolution. This has allowed them to adopt hip-hop as an expression of protest, giving voice to the youth generation of Palestinians and Arabs. MWR is one of the most powerful hip-hop groups in Palestine. They have even captivated a strong Israeli fan base to go along with their Arab supporters. This has helped them represent the Palestinians struggle within Israel today. [1]
