Tell us about the last gig you played
Last show we played was a 4-day concert in Al Madina Theatre on Hamra Street in Beirut. When we created the concept, the situation in Lebanon was politically unstable and very negative. We put the show “Poet in the street” because we wanted to speak the street language not use weapons or fight.  

Tell us what music means to you
Music has always been my way of life since early childhood. I listened to music and connected with the way it expressed real life experiences that were similar to mine. Hip hop always spoke of things close to my personal daily life. Also music is the best way to communicate without borders, complications or biases. I chose hip hop because I can express myself in that genre.

Tell us about the last album you listened to
“Hip Hop is Dead” by NAZ. I believe things are very different in Lebanon from the way they are in that album.

Which musician do you most admire and why?
I don’t have a favourite one. I like many musicians especially the ones who sing about culture and roots.

Tell us something about yourself that not many people know!
I would like to go to the moon!
